Hello Kitten

[kitten]

The topic was in a PM, not the forum, that's all.

[kitten]

Good day, Gopher.  So far your silence has been deafening.  Are you pursuing matters of greater importance?  Lunch, for instance?

[Gopher]

No, I was sending you a message.

[kitten]

Oh, thank you, kind sir.  I shall hasten forthwith to read it.

[Gopher]

I'll keep my fingers crossed that I've written it amusingly enough.  

[kitten]

Yes, you have.  Response sent.

[Gopher]

Can you refresh me please, what's the date of your op? - And how long do you anticipate being absent from the purlieus of this nonpareill?  

[kitten]

Tomorrow is the fateful day.  I'll be absent tomorrow at lunch as they operate at 12:30, but I'll be back the day after.

[Gopher]

I'm sure we'll all be wishing you well.

[kitten]

Thank you so much.  I'm sure that everything will be fine, and I'll be able to see clearly once again.  Something to look forward to.

[Gopher]

Have to dash away. We had a winged ant in festation in this basement this morning and I want to see how I've handled it.

  Shall be thinking of you tomorrow - after which, because you'll be even better sighted, I'll really have to watch my ps and qs.

  All the best

G.  

[kitten]

Bye for now, Gopher.  Hope your ant treatment worked satisfactorily.

[Gopher]

It did to a point, but I had to give it another applicatuion the next day.

[kitten]

How were you doing it?  Sugar cubes laced with arsenic?

[Gopher]

Well, they were coming out of tiny little holes about four feet up the wall, so I simply applied the nozzle of the hoover and then squirted some ant killer into the holes with an aerosol. Have you ever hoovered wallls before?
