Morning.
((((((((((((Meld's gran)))))))))))
It will be good for her to see you, for sure. Older people can so easily get isolated, and just having contact with 'the real world' gives them a big lift.
I'm out of most of this, Who IS Miranda???
C1 and Mr C are watching East Enders and Hollyoaks: C1 because she's addicted, Mr C out of solidarity. I love C1, but not enough to watch that stuff~!! 
Hats off to Westie, Pippi and Amandax for some super r*nning!!
Well done both.
Welcome home, XB---hope you all had a great time, it sounded like it. xx
Larry, Christmas with young Stanley to keep everyone amused---perfect!!! 

Podds, I know you are in fact superwoman and can train despite a crocked back but I hope you felt good and not bad afterward. When are you going to the doc to find out what's wrong?
Yums, IF you can get them to take over ('We're all at home, and it would be nice to do something special, but I'm really whacked after Christmas and you two are both really good with ideas. Can I leave it to you to plan something nice for us all?') they can surprise you sometimes. Alas, I never figured out why sometimes they would and sometimes they wouldn't....
Snaily appears to have traded her cold for a cough.
(((((((((((Snaily)))))))))))))
WELCOME HOME SLUGGIE!!
Great to see you around the place again, tho like all the others I'm drumming my fingers impatiently waiting for the glamour photos
Have a good time with SB today, and then when you're home you can make the rest of us jealous with stories of the cruise.
Sue, I think you've got time off again now, so hope you can relax and indulge a bit! After taking care of family, friends and patients, you deserve some time for yourself!
Nogs, have all your visitors departed? You and HL have been real social butterflies, but you know how much it's appreciated, especially by the grandkids.
Nice time with Tante Kit. Dinner at a little place in the village was stunningly good and she is in good form. Today the 5 of us are going to see Skyfall; C1 leaves tomorrow night (sob!); C3's friend Daniel + gf arrive on Sunday; Monday night we have 20 friends of ours and C2's coming for new year's eve; Daniel + gf leave on 2 Jan. After that normal life should resume....!!!
