suzeanna Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I hope you really enjoy your trip Yantan. I joined you in the no sleep club last night, still awake at gone 2, eventually dropped off only to wake at 5 and that was it. My OH's birthday falls whilst we are on the cruise..he phoned me when he got to work, laughing but with a little catch in his voice to say that there is a banner across his departments door saying Happy Birthday Phil! and they've decorated his desk. He wasn't expecting that but I had an inkling, as someone from his work phoned me on Wednesday asking for suggestions for a gift for him. Considering most of them are in their twenties and thirties and he's one of the three older guys there, it's nice that they think a lot of him. Griff, I know they say don't go to hospital at the weekends but please, if you feel any worse GO! Thanks for the suggestion of the acupressure bands, I have read about those, might give them a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 How nice of Phil's colleagues The lack of sleep must have got to me because I quite forgot to announce that today is Archie's 13th birthday. He's out walking with the DW through Whinlatter forest. His outdoor bed is all set up in the garden, the front doors are propped open so he can come and go as he likes, fresh dish of water sitting out there in the shade and the sun is out and it's glorious so he will likely spend a happy day doing what he likes best being outside. He has a rump steak in the fridge for his birthday tea and a hamper of treats en-route - I hope they deliver them today. They've been travelling since Tuesday!

griff Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Suzeanna, that is lovely.....how nice of the staff to do that, when it was my mums 50th i had to drag myself on a bus to town, go and meet her and help her carry back all her flowers, presents and cards...she was older than the rest but it really does give them a nice feeling to know people think so much of them Yantan, please give archie a big birthday hug from us. The webcam is a splendid idea....my cctv is one where you can view online or have pictures sent to you...i find it brillinat, i caught the trampy workmen the other day throwing his sandwiches outside my house...i called up and grassed on him Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Griff I can watch on my phone and tablet. It will record too Archie is back and is currently munching on fish skins in the garden. Taken a couple of years ago but it shows him doing one of his favourite things - paddling in water. Also his tail, it never stops wagging and even wags in his sleep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 He certainly looks as if he's enjoying himself! Happy Birthday Archie and may you have many more. OH phoned on his break, they had a fuddle for him (in case anyone's saying a what? It's a food muddle, where everyone brings something), one girl had made a cake, and they gave him a £50 Amazon gift voucher, he's very happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
