[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 25435, member: 1991"] G'day, everyone. Sharon, sorry about difficult child finding the patch. What about sticking it to the soles of his feet next time? TM, enjoy the planetarium. I hope you get a good show, not just one of those cutesy laser light shows that doesn't really teach anything. I'd rather go back to the old days of the planetarium being a ball with holes stuck in it for the light to shine through... I loved those. Smallworld, congrats on the Bah Mitzvah. Remember, you got him there! I took easy child 2/difficult child 2 in to the Emergency Dept this morning. The place was empty when we got there, and overcrowded by the time we left. The docs were very sharp but felt that she's not in need of emergency surgery. However, they now say there's no doubt that her appendix has to come out. They reckon she'll last until the private surgeon can see her, which I know is what the GP wants - this private surgeon is very good at not leaving a scar. She's feeling better tonight because she's had a quieter day. I do think her job is aggravating the pain. Our village art show is on this weekend, culminating in a big fair tomorrow. husband & I went to the art show this afternoon, it was wonderful. The hall was empty except for two artists on door duty, both of whom we know well. I was admiring one of the artist's work on red roses (a charity theme for cystic fibrosis = "sixty five roses") and she came over to explain her technique. She remembers me because I was one of the very few who visited her on our local artists open day on New Year's Day, 2006 when it was so hot that everybody stayed indoors. I happened to be out on my scooter and desperately needed to stop and rest on the way home because the heat was so bad that day - it reached 48 degrees C. Amazingly, she was working in her garage studio that day (an electric fan rearranging the heat) and we had a lovely talk. Now we're good friends.
