Dad's had the all clear from the hospital! He's been signed back into the care of his GP from the heart clinic, and can go back to work as of next week (albeit building up his days slowly). Said it's a textbook recovery, and aside from the fact he'll be on some of the medication for life (I gather that's a given regardless) he's going to be back to normal in time, and in the long run much better than he has been for the past few years as the heart problem was a slowly degenerating genetic thing.

Literally been sat in floods of tears at my desk. So happy and relieved, there aren't words!

That's great news. So happy for you!

I totally know this kind of relief about family members and health results...I'm SO Happy that this was the result you all got. Wish your dad all the best from us in his recovery!

Football, the word is football

New man in my life

[Macros]

I dunno RTB, you need to watch yourself with this one, he looks a bit flighty

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

Yay, puns!

His name is Lancelot (and that is not my fault, they apparently promised a little boy whose family are regulars that he could name the next kestrel...), and he is an American Kestrel - believe it or not, in another year he'll be even more colourful than he is now!

He made a good step in his training with me yesterday in that he ate on the glove (it's a step of trust in a bird, they're relaxed enough to eat within your proximity), so hopefully in another few weeks we'll be able to start teaching him display flight work. I taught my previous kestrel to hover in display, time to see if I can do it again

I hope you get through the hawkward early stages quickly.

[Malankazooie]

Oh, I'm sure he'll be voted "most talonted" in his class.

[bubba]

I'm sure as a hunter; He will "lance-a-lot" of prey.

A kestrel on your arm is really beakoming.

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

What have I begun??

[Tiste Simeon]

I eagle-y await more updates from you TRB!

The Punnening 2: Rap'tor Unwrapp'd.

Got a call there, someone has a spare ticket for the match.

It's with the home fans like, but still taking it.

Currently scrambling to get across the city in time for kick off

[worry]

Maybe you should uhhhhhhhhhhhhh fly there [cuz of birds].

[Macros]

You're just flapping now worry.


Not at the stadium yet. But think the ticket is actuated free as well.
