@Bananabelly This is how my detached retina was diagnosed in January - optician's appt within 3 hours, from there straight to tests at the hospital, then surgery the next day. The system worked exactly as intended.

@rtalalay You don't need to apologise, but I for one appreciate you reaching out. You did very well to say anything articulate 2 days after the loss of your partner. Wishing you strength.

@Zenkitty714 @6Kyears @ApricityAwaitin Aargh! I didn't notice that.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@rtalalay Losing your person is horrible and I'm sorry you're having to deal with it. There are plenty of us on here who've also been through it if you need support.

@jenanigans1207 I have just enough money left on the Etsy gift card I had for Christmas to buy this pattern, almost as if it was meant to be!

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@GoodOmensPrime Which, conveniently, is my day off.

@archivetvmus71 I loved Bagpuss. I suspect listening to the songs at an impressionable age is why I ended up as a folk music addict.

I had surgery for a detached retina today and the surgical team kindly played a Fairport playlist to keep me calm through the whole gruelling experience. Thank you @faircropfest , I couldn't have done it without you!

@BBCTheOneShow @michaelsheen Hi Michael, when you are playing a real person like Nye Bevan, how much research do you do on the person, and how much of your interpretation comes just from the script?

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@michaelsheen I'm so sorry. Sending love to you and your family. There is a supportive widow community on here if your mum needs it.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@LBFlyawayhome I suspect having all these books as a child subconsciously influenced my choice of spinning wheel as an adult.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@michaelsheen @Shelter This looks lovely. I don't know where you get the energy to do all these things!

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@HandbookWidows The thing that annoyed me is that no one would have said that if I'd been divorced at 51 rather than widowed.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@michaelsheen @WelshNatTheatre Congratulations. I can think of many reasons why this is a very good idea.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@JennyCo83291652 This is so hard for you. Sending virtual tea and sympathy.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@JennyCo83291652 @michaelsheen I know. It's the shock. It will wear off, but then the grief hits hard, I'm afraid. Reach out for support when you need it. It won't feel like it now, but you can get through this.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@michaelsheen Merry Christmas to you and yours, Michael. Seeing you in Nye and then meeting you afterwards was a highlight of 2024 for me.

[Denise 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @DeniseAB6]

@JennyCo83291652 @michaelsheen I don't know you, but can I just say how sorry I am. My husband died nearly 5 years ago so I can understand what you're going through. There is a #grief community on here which is mutually supportive.
