Rare island lady Posted August 5, 2017 #76 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I agree......having a glass while waiting for DW to get ready puts the "free" in stress free. :-) And very relaxing having a glass on the balcony during a sea day afternoon watching the waves roll past....no worries about chair hogs. ;) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results due back end of next week Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app I sincerely hope you are okay. The surgeon told Pauline it was good she got it checked because it just looked like a midge bite which wouldn't go away but it was pretty straightforward to cut it out even though it was bigger beneath the surface and they put a stitch in and now you can hardly see any mark.

The GP referred her for 2 separate things and 1 on her leg turned out to be a blackhead after a little scrape. Hopefully this 1 is okay for you but take care.
