Morning Anng and frank and all,

Beautiful morning here although a bit breezy plenty of sunshine an pale blue sky.

Can't believe another week has gone by and its Friday again. Where are the weeks going?

Slept like a log last night and got up once for the loo and then at 10.50am. So raring to go now.

Hope Jane is feeling more comfortable today and that T is'nt so achey and poor young Jake's foot is'nt so bad this morning.

Good morning to all you lovely people.


Reasonable sort of day here, apart from the cold breeze. I opened all the window first thing, to freshen everywhere up, but was pleased to close them just now, as I was getting chilly.

Ros is on the front garden again this morning I don't know where she finds her energy and get up and go. Mine got up and WENT. I don't seem to have any energy or enthusiasm to do any jobs.

I am pleased to say I haven't got those HOT and COLD feelings today, or that horrible crawling feeling over my body.

As a small surprise for Ros's B'Day I have bought her a MEERKAT (SERGI) in a Tarzan outfit. Her main present (perfume) is delayed by upto a week. As I have already paid for it, I can't CANCEL, and anyway wouldn't be able to find another before tomorrow for her B'Day. As a surprise I asked ALEXA to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY, which she did. So in the MORNING I get ask her to sing it, when Ros gets up.

Martines OH is in hospital. He has a very FAST heart rate, which they are trying to control. As of this morning, they haven't been successful.

No noise from Denis and Pams builders today. In fact I haven't seen there lorry today. I hope they haven't employed some "COWBOYS" who come and go as they please. !!!!

Well it's time I got myself going. I need a shave, and will get a shower and get dressed. Still in my dressing gown. LAZY old Begger.

Stay safe all. xxxx

Good morning all, sun shining but cool, only 12 degrees. We have to get the meds today so off later to local chemist for pharmacist. They are not normally that busy. We are both very stiff today, OH more than me of course, from all the activity (him) and sitting on the hard plastic upright chair with a very thin seat pad for 3 hours (me).

I slept until 4.30 then couldn't get back to sleep so also very tired.

Yes it does take some of the worry away, we have to get the meds from our local pharmacy which is good as it meant we didn’t have a further wait at the hospital pharmacy. The doctor also checked the hernia and said it was ok. OH was most impressed by the registrar in charge who he said was absolutely beautiful, Asian and in her twenties. :-D

Ooh I posted after you popped in AnnG. I'm glad there was good news that they didn't find anything to be of concern. Doesn't help the pain though, so I hope the osteopath can help when he goes. At least you both won't be as worried now.

What a wait AnnG, but at least they are starting to try and see what the problem is and sort some treatment for him. It is tiring sitting around in hospitals so I expect you will be exhausted by the time you get home. I hope you will at least get some answers today.

It's so nice when the wipe down isdone Mandy! I think I know what you meant from your description, but had a google and they should be nice and cosy for them and quite quick to do with the chunky wool. That's good your son will start next week. It will be good for him to be back in a routine again. Poor Jake with his feet in pain and couldn't make it to school. They must have been really bad. I hope some arches will help and that the pain and swelling soon go.

Gangsta granny lol. It must be a robbers paradise at the moment with us all being unrecognisable in our masks.

Yes you usually have good sleep Mel so today you will feel like the rest of us after a bad night, but hopefully tonight will be much better. I slept like a log again and woke about 7.00am. I did lie in till about 10.00am though.

Glad your headaches seem to be improving Gill. Hopefully it will carry on and you will feel much better.

Despite still feeling weary today (I think walking a bit awkwardly has worn me out) I managed to put the under sink things back in the cupboard there in a better order. We certainly have plenty of carpet shampoo. :-) Then I did some more sorting of my clothes and now have 2 big bagsful for the charity shop which we may take tomorrow. It is our wedding anniversary then though so may not be up early enough to avoid others dropping things off under the shelter at the back of the shop.

No el we didn’t drive we got the bus in and taxi home

Got home six thirty by taxi. Didn’t feel like cooking so had pate on toast. Xrays showed nothing to worry about normal wear and tear on the back everything seemed ok blood tests BP etc so it is just try the meds and if no different go back to GP I suppose the fact they didn’t find anything is good news. And osteopath is booked for next week.

Hope you're home now AnnG and the result shown what the problem was

Good luck to your son in his new job Mandy.

Oh meant to say son can start his job on Monday as all the police checks are done ,he has to go in tomorrow to sort out about the locking up and see the old caretaker for the hand over and get the keys .

Evening all,

What a long wait AnnG but it sounds as if they are giving him a good MOT so hopefully they can find out whats what and ease the pain for him .

Shopping all done and wiped so thats out of the way for a week .
Poor Jake he had yesterday off school with pains in his feet and today on his way to school he fell down as we were close he came here and we took him home ,long story short son took him to see the doctor and he thinks he's pulled some ligaments in his feet ,with not walking to school for so long and now back walking he said that hasn't helped so he advised them to get some arch supports for his shoes as he has quite flat feet with no arches ,he told him to put some frozen peas on his feet to take some swelling down and he's also going to refer him to the hospital .

Mel that;s not like you having a bad night ,hope you can sleep better tonight .

Ann i did finish the bunting but didn't take a photo ,DIL found a nice pattern on FB for a top she would like for the girls ,it's Azel pullover ,just a straight top with a polo neck and buttons at the side its very baggy so the side bits drop and become the sleeves if that makes sense ,knitted in chunky so it will knit up quick ,just got to see if they can get the pattern .

Vera i had a good giggle at your Gangsta Granny :-D :-D if you have a go at the bank will you get a little out for me please :-D :-D

Gill glad to see your headache is now easing off for you .

Well I hope they find whats wrong after all these tests and xrays but at least they are tryinng to do something about it. Did you drive Anng.? Poor you having to wait around all that time. I bet you keep thinking "I cold be doing this or that" Sending you a smile or two. :-D :-D :-D

Still here three and a half hours now no scan though meds for his head including antihistamine now waiting for blood test results had lower spine xray and chest they dont know if head and back are linked he has nust gone back in

I do hope they find what the trouble is with poor T as he is in so much pain now. There must be something for them to give him to relieve this dreadful pain. I hope too they don't have to hang around too long then I suppose they will have to wait for the results.

I have changed the bed and washed it and redressed it and picked a load of beans, some for tonight and I may just freeze the rest. I have some nice lamb chump chops for dinner so I am now ging to go and wash my hair while you know how is in the garden mowing. He stopped me doing it earlier as he was asleep on the spare bed and my hair drier is in there in the wardrobe and opening it makes a loud noise a sit has one of those ball bearing things that clicks in a hole.

Not what you planned AnnG but at least he is getting the scan. If there is something wrong, and we all hope there isn’t, treatment can be started sooner rather than later. If nothing serious is found you can be reassured. All my fingers and toes are crossed for you
.

Not how our day was planned doc phondd and said l h could go to Glos Royal and salk in for a scan we are here eaiting so far almost an hour

Nice to see you posting Gill and the headaches ease off.

Vera so its smoked haddock tonight then. The chicken sounded nice yesterday and I am glad you enjoyed it.

Now where's opur Frank this morning or should I say afternoon.

Hope Island is feeling better too. I bet she's in the garden tinkering about.

I have jsut had to water my plants outside the shed as they were all wilting and I shall do them again tonight. I did fill up the wter tray a lot of them are in but it looks like I may have ost a dahlia.

Morning all

Lovely and sunny so I'll be doing some washing soon and pegging that out. We've had a few nice days of sun which makes a change from the rain.

Love the pic Mel, he's very talented isn't he?

Sorry to hear a lot of you aren't feeling very well and wish you all a speedy recovery.

My headache's are easing off now so no need to ring the doctor.

Well, I'd better go and turn the washing machine on, it won't do itself

Good morning Mel, AnnG and all

Sorry to hear about the bad nights people are having. I didn’t sleep well either and after tossing and turning for what seemed like hours I got my book out and read till 4 am. I was up before 8 but I don’t feel too bad at the moment. My back is still a bit achy but my head’s OK.

I hope T’s new pain isn’t his hernia playing up. Sometimes with an injury like a bad back you walk and stand differently and put a strain on other muscles so maybe it’s that. When does he get his scan and blood tests?

The chicken was part defrosted when I discovered it wasn’t fish so I chopped the breasts into small cubes so they would finish defrosting more quickly and cooked it in a white wine and cream sauce (from a tin). With a jacket potato and some veg it went down very nicely. It’ll be smoked haddock tonight. I found a new recipe I want to try.

I’m just off to the chiropodist so I’m going to poke my nose outside and see if I need a jacket. It looks bright but a bit breezy. With my black face mask and my dark, heavy sunglasses I look like Gangsta Granny ;-). I only need a toy pistol and I could rob a bank.

Have a good day
