Yesterday’s comments were much appreciated and timely and showed much good humour and bon viveur in blogland.
That’s how it should be.
Not leaving snide comments on others’ blogs
It’s seldom you have to click on the “ load more” box to read them all and I’m grateful for such interest as I am for the score of emails , suggesting ideas and giving advice from people that know better.
My thoughts today are with The Weaver Of Grass who we have not heard from since she had a fall at home a broke her hip a while ago now. The jungle telegraph has worked its work and all we blogging friends know is that Pat was taken to hospital .
The comment box has been disabled and many of us, who consider her as a dear friend of over a decade , are concerned, and are waiting to hear that she is ok.
That’s why blogging can be so sweet.
Friendships are made despite the trolls and the unhinged
And Pat is a dear dear friend to many of us
Let’s wish her well.
OH yes! And i also send letter and cards to her by snail mail.. for years now... I'am so very worried about her.. Perhaps it is a good reminder to at least show one person how to get into and use your blog just for happenings such as this.. If she is able i would say dear Pat is just as upset as we are to not be able to communicate with us. Sending good thoughts Pat.. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI've been worried about Pat and wondering how she is. Now that I know the comment box has been disabled, I feel less incompetent for not being able to contact her, but it makes me feel badly she may not realize how much she is missed. Any news would be welcome.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling her son has a blog ( though may be wrong about that) it is now over 2 weeks and I hold her in my thoughts often
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWe have no authority to do this.
DeleteI'm trying to find out how she is. I'll let everyone know when I have some news.
ReplyDeleteWhen the comments were removed from Pat’s last blog there had been about 118 I think and that was probably the tip of the iceberg. I hope someone has told here how many probably who like me, read her blog but rarely comment, wish her well and send her love x
ReplyDeleteI await any news and wish her well. Xx
ReplyDeleteI had wondered how she was doing - if you get a chance to message her, I am sure, like a lot of folk, l'd like to wish her well and a speedy recovery x
ReplyDeleteThank you John. Like so many others I have been worrying about her and hope that someone can update us as to her progress.
ReplyDeleteWith all good wishes that her recovery is going well.
We are all very worried that we've heard nothing via her son but best not to share her address on a blog
ReplyDeletepat has had so many difficulties over the past 2 years. I do hope she is on the mend.
ReplyDelete❤️
ReplyDeleteI have asked her son how mum is. I await a reply.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel for doing that. I hope he understands that she has many good friends here.
DeleteThank you Rachel
DeleteThank you Rachel. Fingers crossed we get some news and it is good. Thanks John too for allowing us on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI am still firmly of the view that no news is good news and she will be back.
DeleteMe too, I didn’t know you had emailed her son....well I’m sure we will hear something
DeleteWhen I saw your blog title I hoped there would be some new information on Pat. I know she is being well cared for but I sure wish we would get an update on her. I have a feeling she misses us as much as we miss her.
ReplyDeleteYou are right John, blog friendships and bonds are certainly made and they cross all boundaries of interests, age and location. I am grateful for all my friends here in blogland and you are all important to me.
Not just trolling for more information myself x
DeleteI sent some mail and hope to hear some news soon.
ReplyDeleteI tried to send Pat Get Well Wishes a while ago but was unable.I expect she hasn't got her equipment at the Hospital or possibly a Nursing home for recovery exercises.As Rachel mentioned Pat's son perhaps he can take a tablet/I pad there to pass a bit of time x
ReplyDeleteBlogfriends become very dear to us don't they. Sending healing wishes her way.
ReplyDeleteI join in wishing Pat well and hope there is a way to let her know how many of us have her in our thought and prayers and are sending get well wishes through cyberspace.
ReplyDeleteShe and I exchanged a few emails so I send her an email today just to check in. There has been no reply yet.
Rachel, hope you can find out where Pat is and how she'd doing. I'd send her a card if there was a snail mail address available.
Thanks, John!
Hugs!
Thank you John. I was thinking yesterday that we have had no news. Very best wishes to
ReplyDeletePat for a full and speedy recovery.
I very much do wish Pat well & hope that she makes a solid recovery. xx Bea
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, Weaver of Grass! We miss you!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Weaver of Grass and wishing her well x
ReplyDeletePat has been on my mind often over the past days. I do hope she is doing well, and look forward to hearing some hopefully good news. I miss her!
ReplyDeleteI check her blog every day just in case there is some news. I so hope she is recovering well and knows how many of us are wishing her better and missing her.
ReplyDeleteI wish Pat a speedy recovery, I check her blog for updates. She is missed.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have been doing the same thing! I hope Rachel will get some news from Pat's son.
DeleteI have been reading Weaver of Grass's blog for such a long time. I hope things go well for her.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Pat, and hoping your recovery is making good progress! You probably have a lot of physical therapy to do and it is a good thing you have Percy to help you along. I am glad you had been taking your daily walks before the fall so you were in good shape for this strenuous recovery. Wishing you the best! Hugs from Ellen D.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of Pat daily and hoping for an update - can't remember who gave us the first one but think I heard it via Sue in Suffolk. I think a broken hip at any age takes a bit of recovering from but I hope that we will have an update soon and meanwhile Pat, positive thoughts being sent to you.
ReplyDeleteOh for fuck's sake. I thought you had something to say.
ReplyDeleteStop pretending that there is a network that doesn't exist. Not all of your followers are that gullible.
DeleteI putout the blog to see if anyone else had heard anything Tom, as for a network, several of us, including yourself have emailed each other sharing what we do do know.
DeleteIsn’t that a kind of network?
DeleteNow that you have emailed me and Rachel, I suppose it is.
DeleteGet well soon Pat, we miss you Weave. Beaming you strength
ReplyDeleteHoping she is OK and will be back to Blogland soon. I miss her daily posts. She is such an inspiration for me.
ReplyDeleteI check her blog daily hoping for news. She is a dear soul, an example for all of us. I join my best wishes with everyone else's, and I hope to hear word soon.
ReplyDeleteI too have been wondering how Pat is and missing her blog. Hope all is ok and wishing her well x
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping to find out about her. I too would like to wish her all the very best.
ReplyDeleteAlways read Pat's blog straight after John's and like others check each day to see if there is an update. I hope we hear positive news soon and that she knows how much people miss her and wish her well
ReplyDeleteYes, John, thank you for this opportunity. I've been hoping to hear something daily. I'm glad that Rachel has asked her son for an update. Am sending all my very best wishes that Pat will be okay. So frightening to know one of our own bloggers (like family) has broken a hip...
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Pat

Thank you so much for this, John. Inspiration is certainly a good synonym for Weaver. So sharp, so caring, so entertaining. Reading her thoughts and doings has been a spy part of my life for along time. I so miss that contact with her. It seems so ironic that she titled her last post about being in a tizz, then had such an accident. I hope so much to see her back here. And, I know she would want us to know how she is. She always told us, when she was able.
ReplyDeleteHow do I write "happy" and come up with "spy"? Spell check stinks.
ReplyDeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteHope The Weaver is ok or at least in recovery. The Blogosphere is a cool little world.
XOXO
I go to her blog each day hoping her son has put an update on there. If her son tells Rachel she is up to it, perhaps we could send messages through Rachel's blog? A series of Get Well Wishes might remind her how much she means to so many of us. What do you think Rachel?
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that whoever disabled the comments for Weaaver could not put on what is happening.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I hope it doesn't mean that the news is not good.
DeleteGet Well wishes to you Pat, from Oz.
Any suggestions on what might we do to cheer Pat and let her know we are thinking of her? Send cards from the world over? Send a plant and/or flowers (if allowable) in hospital or rehab? I am open to sending something, if I had an address for Pat. Rehab after a hip replacement can be strenuous and a little cheer/contact from blog friends is a nice gesture.
ReplyDeleteWhat do others think?
Yes, I'm another one of her concerned readers.
ReplyDeleteMy first job as an SRN was in orthopaedics. 99% were from falls. Major surgery for someone Weaver's age. I sincerely hope she is tucked up in bed, warm, cozy and comfortable.
ReplyDeletePlease add my good wishes! (I’ve just been able to comment again after several years of nonsense from goooooogle.) Pat reminds me of my Grandmother, in all the best ways!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oh no!! I so enjoy reading her posts - she seems like a beloved aunt. I’m so worried for her!
ReplyDeleteI miss her too and am hoping for good news soon! My father recently broke his hip, and I know what a treacherous journey it can be.
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting and wondering as well. I wish her the best, speediest, most comfortable recovery. Thank you for putting this out there. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteMy best to Pat....I think of her often and hope her recovery will go well and swiftly....
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday I was wondering how one could find out how she is. I'm sure we all wish her well; it would be good to have an update on her situation, but how one goes about it I just don't know..
ReplyDeleteOh John I have been worrying about no news. It is difficult when we are so far away (Oz) I do miss her posts. Thank you for keeping us in the loop so to speak. Oh and I love what you have been doing to your cottage.
ReplyDeleteLove to Pat and her family. She is missed. x
ReplyDeleteI wish Pat a speedy recovery. She is a lovely writer and comes across as such a genuinely nice person. So through John's blog I say 'Get well soon Pat' it sounds as if many people have missed you.
ReplyDeletePat, sending healing and positive energy and thoughts your way. Please do take care.
ReplyDeleteI’m like all the rest of you in saying how I value the Weaver and her blog and in sending love and very good wish for your recovery Pat. I think many of us also love the real sense of a community she has generated amongst people in so many different settings. We certainly share a common concern and care for her, and a hope for better news soon

ReplyDeleteOh what good news! I vote that when she puts up her first post, we all gather to have a virtual homecoming celebration. I will provide the champagne. Since it is virtual, it will be the best! Anyone want to provide fireworks?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I'll provide the fireworks. And since it is virtual, they will be the best! :)
DeleteGreat! Who will provide the music?
DeleteI didn’t know I should be reading Pat’s blog. I’ll add her to my short list. I wish her well.
ReplyDeleteGreat news, thank you so much Rachel.
