A bit of a - whatever it is.

I thought something was up, but you haven't come over as being bad tempered or unreasonable Frank; and I'm not surprised it's got you down. It would get anybody down.

No offence to Brum but given the chance of a bit of R and R there or Portugal, the Algarve would be the winner!

Ta mate.... I really must get some passport photos. All the paperwork is done Jan, signed etc, I need to find a photo booth.

Frank, have you got a Snappy Snaps or Max Spiellman or whatever nearby? I paid around £6 in Snappy Snaps last year for passport photos, far easier than paying a fiver in a photo booth and being unsure if they'll pass the strict guidelines that the passport office have set, and they'll re-do them for free if they're not accepted.

And tis the Alentejo now, not the Algarve Crommers

Ally, that was horrendous - there really are some complete and utter wazzocks in this world.

No, but thanks to your prompt I found an Android passport photo app, so I'm off to play.

Get thee thy passport and hop on that plane!!!!!

So sorry to hear this Frank. I really hope you are serious about visiting Ton, it would be lovely for you to get some sun on yourself.

Really hope the daily dressings don't cause too much of a problem for you xx

Thank you everyone. I felt a bit of a tear coming on then I got to the Brum passport section and it became a laughing tear.

I usually sneak in via Walsall and West Brom. It is quicker and more scenic than the M6 and the barrier on the 462 is usually unmanned.

Jan, the local post office has turned into a mini-market and PO so I'll have to go to one of the main ones in town. It'll get done though.

Get thee thy passport and hop on that plane!!!!!

Just make sure it's not Ryanair .....

Oh hon - you've really not had an easy time of late and don't apologise, we'd all get grumpy and annoyed at life esp if we had to traipse to a clinic every day. Sending BIG ((((HUGS)))))

Look after yourself and remember we're all here for you x

Exactly what I wanted to say! Sending lots of love Frank and I agree with the others, some sunshine would do you the world of good (((((x)))))
