So, the very very good news is that my mum is alright. She's still in hospital but coming home soon. I've been spending a lot of time there with her. The bad news is that she's not overweight, exercises, doesn't smoke etc which means there's no easy solution. It was caused by the fact that she has diabetes and high blood pressure, both of which are only going to get worse.

But for the moment she's okay, and there are pills. I have great faith in pills.

We've been (joking, really) that we need to go on a shopping trip to New York to take advantage of the dollar. We'll probably end up at the Buchanan Galleries as usual, but it makes me feel better to have something planned for the future.

Good to hear, I'm glad she's alright. :)

Thanks :). It's a massive relief.

So pleased to hear your mum is doing well. Buchanan Galleries isn't quite NYC, but it's definitely a start!

Thanks :). And I'msure we'll manage to spend plenty anyway!

I"m glad to hear she's all right and going to be home soon!

Thanks! She's probably home tomorrow, actually, so I'm massively relieved :).

I'm so glad that your mom is doing okay.

And, yes, come shop in NYC--it's a great time to do it (stupid dollar).

Thanks :). And it is tempting - if it's still this high in the summer, we just might!

The run-up to the Scottish parliamentary elections has demonstrated transparent and blatant pro-union bias in the Scottish mass media - especially the press.

Free and fair elections are at stake.
