    Great Gaby,

    That must be so good to be able to be with a friend socialising normally again.

    So glad for you after 3 weeks of ups and downs.

    Sweet dreams

    Best

    Hi Gaby.

    Glad you are doing so well.  How are you getting about to all this?  I live alone, with no one to take me about - daughter doesn't drive, and I don't know my neighbours, they all moved in this year - new build. 

    Congratulations,

    Susie
