Re: US purchase request
开云体育Amazon has it (at above your price point before shipping), but I found this: . They seem to have a UK-based warehouse. ? Meanwhile, you and DH continue in my thoughts and in my heart. ? Ann McManus in PA ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jenny Swanson
Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023 2:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [yarnmongers] US purchase request ? Hello all, ? This might sound a bit cheeky, but is there anyone in the US? who could buy me an English language DVD of “Star Sand” by Roger Pulver, which was released in 2017, and mail it to me? The cheapest quote I can find for the mailing is $35, which seems excessive. Full reimbursement by Paypal! ? We are reading the novella in Book Group (at the end of October, so no rush) and I wanted a copy of the DVD to share around. But not at over $50 for the purchase and mailing….. ? I hope everyone is having a restful summer. Here in the south of England we have been having a pleasantly cool, if wet, “traditional Scottish summer pre 2000”. Only 500 miles south, and many years on, from when this was customary. Personally I love it, and so does the garden. I didn’t even know our tree could produce such huge apples, after drought summers all the eleven years we have now been in Oxfordshire. ? DH’s scheduled treatment of a month of radiotherapy is off, as due to his haemorrhages in June this was no longer considered safe. The surgeons had already rejected the conventional abdominal surgeries as unsafe for several reasons, so we had eight unpleasant weeks while the consultants argued to and fro about which was the “least bad option”. Finally someone thought of a specialist in London who does a rare (experimental) robotic keyhole surgery which seemed as though it might be a good choice. So that is now booked for 29 August, and it is fingers crossed all round that everything will go smoothly. ? I have now been in one place for 5 weeks, which is a rare thing in recent years, and am feeling a little more grounded. Doing more knitting again, and lots of reading and gardening. And dog-walking, of course, courtesy of the adorable Freddie. DH will be home next week for a scan, and then for a month at the end of August for surgery and recovery. After seven months of waiting, you can imagine how much we look forward to getting this done. ? Jenny |

Re: Do we still send Juju?!
开云体育Thanks Beryl, I hope he will be. It seems it was a perforated ulcer. Very messy and taking a long time to recover from (15 days in hospital didn’t help although it was a really nice hospital and ward). ? Poor DH is having a terrible year, back in February a chance blood test done in Switzerland (and not routinely done here in the Uk), showed a possibility of prostate cancer, and three months of tests showed he has an aggressive form. Hoping to start a? few weeks of radiotherapy soon….and fingers crossed for a good outcome. It is disconcerting to think that being off work with exhaustion may have unexpectedly saved his life, because they do hope they have caught the cancer in time! ? Meanwhile we are still struggling with administering and settling the three estates of the three deceased parents, caring for MIL’s affairs, plus in my case zipping between here and Geneva, and here and Glasgow for mother in law. I yearn for a quiet, settled life. Thank goodness for knitting and dog walks. ? Wishing everyone a good summer, not too hot or too wild…..I love seeing people’s pictures on Facebook. Jenny ?

The cost of an ambulance in Australia varies from state to state but where Peter & I live it costs various amounts depending on circumstances. We have the cost included in our medical insurance. |

Re: Do we still send Juju?!
开云体育Health insurance is good! DH, who is working for a WHO spin-off in Geneva still, has good insurance. So when he needed to call an emergency ambulance a month ago, he never even thought about cost (no charge here in the UK). We were surprised to get a bill for 995 Swiss francs (the hospital is only half a mile from our Geneva apartment), but duly forwarded it to the insurers. Apparently they pay half? of one call out per insurance year, so we did have a sizeable bill to pay still. But needs must – and if he needs one again he will just have to call it whatever the cost. ? I don’t know how this works in the US or Australia, maybe nobody else here is even slightly surprised by this circumstance……. ? Beryl, I hope things are going reasonably well in Florence. Maybe one day the family group will all look back and laugh over the memories they make now. ? Jenny From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of beryl_cathro@...
