Some truly amazing Good news!

A couple of weeks ago, despite having warned him to lock it, my father’s new carer (a lad in his late teens) had his bicycle stolen from outside my parent's new home. We were not that shocked.

Unfortunately his bike was not covered by any insurance because it was left unlocked so I lent him a bike of mine so he could get to and from work.

That evening I made a request for information or return of the bicycle and posted this on Face Book (but didn't say whose bike it was).

This morning the stolen bicycle returned to the very same spot from which it vanished!

So what do you make of that?

I saw my Dr, day before yesterday, he wanted me to have some in hospital tests,the phone rang yesterday to give me the day, and it is today..48 hours from first mention to going has to be great news.

He also put me on a new pain regime, I have refused to take the morphine etc, anyway reluctantly I said I would try these new drugs for a month and I have had three fairly comfortable days..coincidence..??

Maybe I might get to swim with those salmon after all!!

It is a good day.

I'd like to think that it was someone having a crisis & never really meant to steal only borrow, but I always was an optimist!

Tests were not so good but it was suggested I get prescribed marijuana for pain.. I can't stop laughing about it, and I feel really daft and silly.

Goodness knows what I would feel like if I take it.. Anyway ti made my day.

We popped over to the lottie and my garlics and shallotts are growing beautifully. I planted them in the fall. I went overboard this year and got about 30 varieties from a garlic farm, just one bulb of each which gave me several cloves to plant, so was thrilled to see every single clove had grown, not one dud. Plus my four varieties of shallots were doing as well..yippee. It was an expensive trial so am really pleased it seems to be paying off.

Super news about the bike, odd but super neverthe less, and fantastic news about the mortgage, wow that is something. Well done.

..skinny girl.. ;) ;D

grannyjanny · « **Reply #55 on:** March 12, 2012, 09:46:12 »

Skinny girl, never ;D. I lost some weight a few years ago & went to Elaine's M & S clothing party. The person who was doing the party hadn't seen me for ages & asked Elaine if I was anorexic. I still weighed ATT about 13 stone. We both nearly collapsed laughing. That's something neither of us would ever suffer from. It's very sad for people who do though.

antipodes · « **Reply #56 on:** March 13, 2012, 17:03:54 »

Well done grannyjanny! Good on you. I have put back on all the weight I lost 2 years ago and have to start from scratch again >:( :'( It's very annoying especially as I don't really pig out. Maybe I need to do more digging ;D

shirlton · « **Reply #57 on:** March 14, 2012, 17:11:40 »

We were working on Tonys new plot today and I realised how happy we were at Walsall Rd.
It was at this time last year that everything seemed to start collapsing around us and our lives became almost unbearable.
Betty and the other plot holders at Walsall Rd have made us very welcome.
They say that sometimes good comes out of a bad situation and in our case this is so true.

grannyjanny · « **Reply #58 on:** March 14, 2012, 17:31:15 »

That is good news Shirl & long may it continue ;D. I suppose it's similar to when you're very poorly, you just don't realise how ill you actually are until you start to get better ;D.

macmac · « **Reply #59 on:** March 14, 2012, 17:57:32 »

Well OH has done his back again :(
But the good news is our lovely lottie neighbour Ted phoned yesterday and offered to rotovate our plots,what a lovely man :)
