Morning Island.

Been up the post van and there was a que about 12 people long, it must be pension day by the persons queing. I was behind Em's mum and then the next lady behind me was our neighbour just up the road Angla from next door but one.

Oh has got the telly stand in the kitchen which is what the tree goes on and he's wiped it all down but I need to hoover behind it before the tree can go on it. Makes me laugh, when we packed it up last year he said he's put it up the loft but guess what? Yes its been in the hall for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's not too good on ladders now even though we have a loft ladder and he won't let me up there.

Boris should be treading the boards not running the county.

What I don't get is, first and second jabs program ran with military precision, very impressive. The booster is a total shambles with many/most having great difficulty with even knowing how and where to go and in some cases being told they were not eligible!. Then along comes the 'hero' in hot pants telling everyone to get vaccinated. Tactics!

Morning all :-D

Morning Anng and all,

Quite dull here but a bit earlier on when I got up there was the sun coming up so I went back to bed for 15 mins as oh had just turned the heating on. Now its dull and dreary.

I have a rose out on the wall by the fig tree and a couple over the big arch into the garden.

I need to get a few things done this morning so I shan'nt be around. I need to wrap some present as I have only done one so far.

good morning all 12 degrees here but dull again Would be nice to see the sun sometime. Nothing planned for today.

I have just seen that 100% of patients in critical care with covid in Gloucester royal are un vaccinated and all aged between 30 and 57. They make me so cross.

I think they should be thinking more about what they can do about those who are not vaccinated (except exempted people)

I said the same AnnG, that he didn't pussyfoot around trying to placate the public this time. They should stop unvaccinated people in the NHS working with patients though as it is so infectious.

Goodness Boris put that over well why can’t he always be like that, he actually sounded as if he meant it.

AnnG :-D LOL

I think Boris is the worst PM we've ever had Vera so anyone would be an improvement.. TBH I was horrified when he got the top job and thought he'd be out in no time.

PS... forgot to say, no rhubarb crumble or beef thanks Vera :-D Any sprouts?

No Rhubarb crumble for me then Vera, your OH was quick to get seconds, so it must have been good! lol. Your OH is right to look flummoxed and I know I would struggle! OH's hernia usually settles down again after a day or two. I keep telling him not to lift heavy things, but he forgets I think.

When I looked it said about an update on the coronavirus and the boosters. I expect it's to encourage people to get their boosters and tell us how fast the new virus is spreading, probably to prepare us for an increase in restrictions on Tuesday.

Better put bike lights on your Christmas list then Mandy :-). The beef was very tender but there’s plenty left. Shall I make sandwiches and post you all a couple? If you don’t like beef Ann I’m afraid you’ll have to go without. There’s no crumble and custard left as OH came back for seconds.

I hope your OH isn’t in too much pain Ann and the same for your poor son Mandy.

Boris making an announcement on a Sunday evening is a bit ominous. I wonder what he will say. When I told OH he said the same as Island but was a bit flummoxed when I asked who he would want in Boris’s place. It’s sad when you don’t have much faith in any politician from either of the main parties. Well, whatever he is going to say, I expect we’ll all just keep muddling along.

He is probably going to tell ud the name of his baby :-D

is boris resigning? :-D

No I should think Vera will have a little over for cold cuts tomorrow, we always had some over for the next day ,minced up sometimes for a shepherd's pie .

Oh yes Anng I saw all the devastation on the news those poor people their homes all flattened and just before Christmas too.

I wonder what Boris is going to say later they did say on the news they didn't think he was going to make more restrictions but you never know we've now gone onto level 4 and level 5 is lockdowns so I hope we don't need to go there again at Christmas.

What an ordeal he's had Mandy and still some pain. I hope he doesn't get problems like before and that having the other tooth out won't be such a problem. Those injections do sting in the roof of your mouth. I shouldn't think he's keen on having to go back next time.

I can't decide what to have for lunch tomorrow, so better have a look what to defrost. I suppose it depends what happens with OH's car and whether we can possibly get it booked in somewhere tomorrow and what time. Window cleaner comes tomorrow so we will have to be up early anyway.

No AnnG, not a good time as you say, and it's going to get worse with this new variant. Thanks for mentioning the update tonight, it had passed me by.

I hope that hernia is not going to be a problem Nile Ann. Not a good time to need medical attention.

Everyone is stressed with Covid but how awful the tornadoes are in USA, whole small towns flattened. Hard to imagine such devastation.

Announcement by p M at 8pm just to cheer up our evening

Vera you can post me a slice of beef and I can have it tomorrow. My four cards are sitting on my string looking very lonely There's one from Mandy one from Fiona and two from friends and Anng's lovely one on my pc box on my desk so five in all.

I cleaned the big girls out this morning and started and nearly finished Phyl's ring for Friday. Just have to make the bows and put three flowers in it for her.

I see you did some gardening Vera and are now paying for it. Hope the back is easier now.

Poor G hope he has not done too much damage to his heria.

I bet she has eaten it all by now anyway Mandy. :-D :-D

Oh yes I have had injections in the rood of my mouth it is excrutiatingly painful.

Oh so she was a great help then Ann.

Son's gum is still very tender and he's hoping he doesn't get dry socket prob,ems like he's had before ,she did say she might have to refer him to the hospital to have his other tooth out .
He said when she was pulling the tooth out it was so painful as she injected into the roof of his mouth :-0

Vera sorry will have to cancel the beef meal with you as I can't find my lights and I dont hink a candle on my bike will be bright enough :-D

Ha ha Mandy..........you'll have worked up an appetite by the time you've pedalled there! :-) How is your son with his teeth now?

Just had a frustrating call with a call centre about my email problem. :-S I wish they'd listen properly to your explanation instead of deciding they know and then are barking up the wrong tree. She was gabbling so quickly, I couldn't make out what she was saying and I'm sure if I did the same she wouldn't follow me either. I said it was my provider account but both OH and I had seperate email addresses on it, but after being put on hold, she told me my problem was because I was using OH's email address at the same time as him!!! I set her straight and more holding on. It now seems they are doing a security upgrade that could be affecting my emails and not OH's. She couldn't say how long it will take either.

Might be a bit late Vera ,Colins still pumping the tyres up on my bike and I can't find my bicycle lights :-D

Oh no Ann OH will have to take it easy for a few days hope he's not getting to much pain with it .
