Evening,
Belated thanks for the birthday wishes, and for the well wishes for Papa MO

He's still in hospital, but being treated and recovering well. He'll be in another week or so, but doesn't mind so much as it coincides with Euro 2012!
Was thinking of you and your mum Nam - hope she feels much better soon.
Hello Mima, sorry to hear your sad news

When things were really crap for me, a friend told me to do something nice for myself every day - so I did. Whether it was a run along the canal, getting myself some nice chocolate, or a DIY pedicure, I made a conscious effort to do things that were purely for me and no-one else. It won't stop the hurt, but it will be a small way to take some of the time out you need. Take care x
Hello SP, hope you're enjoying Jersey!
TP, I hope you feel better tomorrow and that the conference goes as well as possible.
Last week was generally a nightmare here. Dolly the hamster sadly passed away the day I got back

She was quite old for a dwarf hammie (over 2 years), but had seemed fine when I left, and G said she was ok when he saw her the day before, as in active and eating... although he thought she was acting oddly by moving her bedding to a different spot. Very sad to lose her, but she was already about a year old when we got her and was the friendliest little hamster I've ever met, so feel very lucky to have had 13 months with her.
As for the running, have barely done any to speak of in the last couple of weeks! Hope everyone else is faring better!
