Long week, long week..

So sorry to hear about your dad!
Glad you found a way to 'tame' your mind :) Feel a bit bad for the apple tree though until pics are posted to prove she is ok :):)

So sorry to hear this Lincslass, I hope this work in the garden helps you to sleep tonight? You are in my prayers Take care of yourself too - Denise xx

Sorry Dad's poorly, hope everything's OK. I too, find solace working in the garden. I think it's because I can be on my own in the quiet and just think everything through.

Best wishes to your Dad ..xxx

Sorry to hear about your Dad,and no better place to think your thoughts,and vent your frustrations,than in the garden..Hope all goes ok for him...thinking of you,take care..X

I know how difficult it is to turn your mind to other things when your father is ill. It's something I went through in January.

Gardening is a great therapy and far more effective than taking pills.

Hope that your father is feeling better, and that Brynner is back to his bouncy self.

Take Care, thinking of you at this very stressful time.

Oh dear, Lincs, sorry to read about your Dad and hope he receives good news on Monday ... I can picture you cutting the branches to fit in the bin ... but it is a good way to forget your troubles ... if only for a few hours! ... Keep smiling ... :o)))

So sorry to hear about your dad not being very well, but fingers grossed all goes well on Monday for him,Like Shirley said keep smiling :))

so sorry about your dad sue and also brynner, i do hope your dad will be ok, doesnt do any harm to take out your upset and mood out on the garden, better than keeping it locked up inside. take care, love and hugs xx

Hope the news will be good about your dad.The garden I find is the best place to be when yo are upset or angry.My thoughts are with you.Take care and try to feel positive.

Where would we be without our gardens both to take our minds off things and also to vent our feelings like you did Sue. I'm glad it made you feel calmer and I'm sure your garden is all the better for it too. I hope the news for your dad isn't as bad as you fear and that Brynner has perked up too. :o))

Thankyou all, Dad is happier now he`s back at home, he is however 87 yrs old and actually is being quite matter of fact about his situation, he told the doctor he wasn`t afraid of dying only of pain, he can be very blunt sometimes...
Pleased to say Brynner is nearly back to normal, bit thinner and being very fussy about his food, like a child he takes advantage when he thinks he needs spoiling, lol...

How good that your Dad can look at his situation in that way,Linclass,and that he is still in his own home..I think we would all wish for that.Glad to hear Brynner is on the mend...take care..xx

Same with my Dad Linc :)
Glad he is home.
And good the cat is back on form too x

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad Lincs, these situations come up all too often don't they, and your heart just falls into your boots. You're doing the right to get out into the garden, it's the best place to calm the 'monkey brain' and just lose yourself in one activity until you feel better. I did laugh though at you losing the plot when the line on your lopper broke! The last straw, wasn't it? I'm so glad your Dad got to get home, mine didn't, and we were sad about that, but events will run their course whatever that may be. Just know I'm thinking about you and your Dad and sending you both positive thoughts, and hugs, xx

I hope your father is all right now, and Brunner aswell. It sounds a stressful time for you. Sorry I'm late catching up. I haven't been on for a while.
