Goodnight Linda- Lovely that your daughter is now able to breast feed. Hope everything goes well on Thursday. Love Jem <3

Sorry I have been side-tracked!!! I have come over all nostalgic and I have been listening to different versions of Myfanwy on YouTube!!!

A lovely version is by Ryan Davies. He was a lovely singer and comedian who was in a partnership (a bit like Morecambe and Wise, only in welsh and with singing!) with Ronnie Williams (Ryan and Ronnie). I met him when I worked for our local newspaper in the mid 1970s. His son, who can also sing, is in the Welsh soap Pobol Y Cwm-(People of the Valley)

Another beautiful song he sang (sometimes with Ronnie)- Pan Fo'r Nos Yn Hir (When the night is long) Whether or not you can understand the lyrics, it is beautiful. He sings about not being able to sleep,tossing and turning, thoughts going through his head- then he sees her face in his mind- and everything is ok.

Yes she has, my daughter has started breast feeding her for part of the time because she seems to like that better than sucking on the bottle, but of course she can't tell how much milk she is getting that way.

They have an out patients appointment on Thursday so they will have to wait until then to see what they say

I am off to bed now,so goodnight Jem, don't spend too much time cleaning Sue

Has Esme still got a feeding tube?

She is fine Sue, just feeling tired, but having to feed a baby every three hours does that to you

My grandchildren are fine Jem. Full of energy as always :-)

The baby will just be biding his time Jem

Esme is fine, much the same

I have some shopping to do but I want to tidy the pantry first. Apart from that I don't have anything planned.

How is your daughter?

Goodnight Tec- Sweet Dreams about where you can wear your fish-nets next :-D :-D

Daughter just rang me. Still hasn't decided on name for the baby, particularly the middle name. Baby only wakes for feeds- the best baby yet!! She was a nightmare. I didn't know what sleep was for two years!! :-|

How are your grandchildren Sue and Linda?

So what are you going to do today Sue?

Goodnight Tec, sleep well again

Goodnight Tec - I hope you get a good night's sleep <3

I'm off to bed early tonight, as I'm very tired,

Enjoy your day Sue,

Goodnight Linda, and Jemima,

Tec :-)

I have a CD of Bryn Terfel singing songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.

I'm listening to Rhydian (X Factor) and Bryn Terfel singing it on Children in Need in 2009 on YouTube as we speak

Sorry, I had a phone call and now I need to go and make another one, back in a while

Oh dear Tec - that wasn't good planning :-(

I shall look the song up on YouTube, Jem :-)

Sue - I've sacked the staff - useless lot they were. Better off without the blighters.

Have you ever heard it sung Sue? The music is beautiful but a real weepy!

We did give you strict instructions about resting Tec so we wouldn't have expected you to do much. Did you give your staff the day off?

I looked at the Welsh thread Jem. The words are lovely.
