She’s so much better thank you, just got her home , she’s still on antibiotics as they are so reluctant to go in with surgery due to the scar tissue left from her cancer surgery. But if it flairs back up they will have no option. 

So fingers crossed the antibiotics fix this xx

Got my fingers crossed for you Durbs!

Twas the meet before Christmas, and the air felt cool,

Every poster was stirring, especially a certain @crazyfool1.

@Ozanne’s Keir pyjamas hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that A Labour Rule soon would be there;

Dennis was nestled all snug in his bed, 

While a caged pigeon danced in @Wellyboot’s shed;

And @lucyginger doused in glitter, and @Kalopsia in his cap,

Had just settled their brains for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

They sprang up to see what was the matter.

Away to the window they flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters to see @ShakeyCrash

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,

Gave an air of mystique to Arthur the Crow,

When what to their wondering eyes did appear,

But @stuartbert two hats and many a beer; 

With ales a plenty and spirits abound,

They knew in a moment this meet would be sound.

More rapid than eagles the conversation came,

And they whistled, and shouted, and called each other by username:

"Now, @squirrelarmy and his model entourage! Now @dondoand @March Hare

On, @Homer! on, @Quark! on, @Punksnotdeadand @Losing my hair!

To the top of the Tor! and in through the gate!

We will all be talking Glastonbury by the hour of eight!”

The stories and the yarns oh how they will fly,

The hours will soon start to pass by;

So up to midnight many will stay,

Although by then @Big durbs may be snoring away!

And then, in a twinkling, we will all power down;

but you’ll find that Zoom has gotten rid of your frown!

So join us on raising a glass to each other;

And be amazed at the topics we will cover!

All are welcome to the virtual meet;

Strangers became friends since the first meet and greet!

Who knows what the next year may bring; 

Hopefully we will meet in a field and we can sing! 
An end to social distancing and a return to meeting as a mob;

Maybe too @funkychick2007 will have a break from her job?

Until that moment we have this meet on Wednesday;

And a long drop in session all through Xmas day! 

So hopefully see you there, old faces and new; 

Oh and maybe Arthur’s identity - any chance of a clue?

There may even be a rare appearance by me; 

but if not I wish you all a Christmas filled with glee!

Gutted... turns out I can't upvote this work of art as it transpires I just used my last one on Stevie Wevie making a (admittedly pretty funny) joke about having a poo in the 'when will this shit end?' thread!
