Hello Everyone,
I did intend joining in with Annie's Friday Smiles yesterday but, sadly, it wasn't to be. That being so, I thought I'd come in late with what has had me smiling this week.
First up is this photo of my son-in-law, Graeme.
He's had such a hard time of it recently with a really nasty case of infection in his spine. He was first admitted to hospital with it earlier this year and discharged on treatment seemingly on the mend. Then he got so much worse and had to be admitted again to be told he was going to have to stay in hospital being treated with intravenous antibiotics for three months. You can imagine how we all took that. Happily, after six weeks of this his doctors decided that as long as he goes in every day he could be treated as an outpatient. While none of us likes to be in hospital even for a short stay, for Graeme it's much more difficult because he's deaf and usually communicates with sign language. This makes everything about hospital all the more difficult for him but everyone soon worked out that they could write him notes to help him understand. So, as you can see, he's now back home and just going back for an hour every day for treatment. He's got a big smile behind that mask.
That was the main reason to smile this week but here's a few more from the garden.
My one remaining hollyhock. The others have been lost to neglect - this last year neither of us has been well enough to tend the garden. I do what I can but it's become very neglected.

I so glad to see Graeme has finally been allowed home....I’m sure he will make a better recovery in his own home with family he have converse with. Please send love from us. We used to have hollyhocks at our old house and I really miss them....I intend to have some here at some point. I love the funny....Dod has been having problems with his ears lately so it could well be here too.
Hugs,
