Doggy dinner

I met my friend Dot today for lunch. She has been away on holiday so we have lots to catch up with.
She took the opportunity while her daughter & family were in Australia visiting her sister & family.
Some of you may remember Dots grandson Charlie who had the brain tumour.
Such high hopes after he came back from his Proton Beam therapy but unfortunately his last brain scan showed it’s possible return but this time on the outside of his brain stem.
Another MRI on the 25th July then five days awful wait before they get the result.
Puts our house problems firmly at the back of the queue!

Three good things:
1. I met up with my ex DIL this afternoon, she is over from NZ for her brothers 40th birthday. She looked very well.
2. More stuff to the charity shop.
3. Fuel in the oil tank but an air lock in the Aga...thank goodness it’s warm & we can do without it.
Update it lit!

I remember your friend's grandson; so sorry to read the latest news about Charlie.

This is a beautiful image. Fingers crossed for Charlie. As you say, something like that puts everything else into perspective.

[Judith Johnson]

A lovely catch up with your friend. Will remember her grandson in my prayers, Pat. We have a new grandson born two weeks ago and they've only just decided on a name!

Nice to have met up with Dot .. have been wandering about little Charlie .. praying for better news from his scan .. certainly does put things in perspective..

Nice place for a meal -looks clean and welcoming. Do I see on the blackboard "Mutt's Menu"? And is fillet steak for a mutt?
Ongoing stress for Charlie's family - I guess they are prepared. Its been a fight.
Funny to see you say 'exDIL' - had to think for a moment!

[Allison Williams]

Oh I do pray that all goes well for Charlie. Believe it or not, I just read a powerful novel on this exact topic. After the End by Claire Mackintosh.

[Babs]

How nice that you were able to catch up with your pal Dot. Sorry to hear that Charlie isn't too good though.

[Jane Pittenger]

I’m so sad to hear re Charlie. He certainly came right into my heart

Looks like a lovely place to meet some friends. Sad, though, to read about Charlie.

[Linda]

Nice to meet up with friends. Wondered where the doggy was. So sorry to hear about Charlie, hoping for a good report from the MRI and perhaps some kind of treatment that will get him well.

[Graham Harcombe]

Never heard of that before! A Mutts' Menu!!

Oh little sweetie. Really sorry to read about his setback.
They have a menu for dogs???
