Just back from delivering OH to hospital again - hoping he may not need any more IV antibiotics as his leg is definitely less swollen and red. We shall see... Parking at or near the hospital is so horrendously expensive (and difficult) that I've driven back home, to be rung when all the tests are complete.
Hope the test isn't too horrendous, Punkdoc, and shows some improvement.
Obelixx, that's excellent news re Cosmos. Homeopathic vet remedies, eh? I'm glad to see the NHS will no longer fund them (for humans, obviously) here. Can't honestly see why they ever did, though obviously there's always the placebo effect...
Stirring up cans of worms here, perhaps.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Liri - our riding stables and farmer neighbours in Belgium used both homeopathic vet and GP for themselves and their family. Seemed to work. Has to be better than steroids so I look forward to seeing how he gets on.
Hosta - enjoy your last day. It seems like you only just got there. Hope you have thermal vests and socks and woollies packed for the return home. It's parky.
You too Chicky. I reckon the cricket is a bust but Adelaide is lovely and you'll enjoy your last bit of time with Chicklet who will also be coming home before you know it.
Busy - may be on to something with the moon phases. Usually light bothers me but maybe it's more than that. Certainly affects plenty of other things. Can't help with UK DIY's I'm afraid except for being much cheaper than France or Belgium if you need paint by the gallon.
Tilers arrived on time and we have the cement base being laid today with tiles following tomorrow. I'll be able to get my Rangemaster plugged in at last and move furniture from temporary parking to permanent. Wonderful. Proper Xmas cake and pavlovas as needed.

Punk hope you git some kind of sedation, the chic cake might but go down so well?
Liro hope hubby doesn't have to go back, our scare at the weekend has not worsened thank goodness think it's dreadful that you have to pay for parking at hospital
obelixx phew!
i am cross?I took a John Lewis curtain that says dry clean only to cleaners and they won't touch it.
they say John Lewis and Next do this with blackout linings, which are sewn in and cannot be removed
rubbish!

Great progress Obelixx. You won’t know yourself in your kitchen. Glad Cosmos seems to be responding to TLC. I don’t envy Chicky the long trip home, but I’m glad she had such a good time here. Best wishes for Liris OH and PunkdocAnd any others I’ve missed.
It will be great to have your Rangemaster back in your kitchen, Obelixx.
We went to Wickes and I found that our kitchen in the cottage did come from them, but they are in a mess at the moment as they are re-doing their display area with kitchens and bathrooms and the place was full of noise and builders behind a walled off area. We just bought a white shelf for one wall of the small utility room and we will order a small wall cupboard for another wall another time when the kitchen person isn't having a day off.

Oh dear, that's a shame ... perhaps it would be cheaper to post the curtains to here ?
I've had such a lovely day ... a bit of Christmas shopping ... lunch with OH in The Lamb ... then to the Castle Museum to see an exhibition of Rembrandt's etchings (and a couple of paintings) . OH then picked up his newly repaired bike (£150 of repairs ) and came home and I came home on the bus ... while I was waiting I saw the mum of a family I worked with ... I often think of her since I retired ... her life had been touched by such tragedy ... we had quite a chat and it was so good to learn that she and her family are now doing well, and meet the latest addition to the family ... it really made my day

Hello all.
Just back from delivering OH to hospital again - hoping he may not need any more IV antibiotics as his leg is definitely less swollen and red. We shall see...

Night all.

LilyP. Waitrose do dry cleaning ... At least our does - as they're part of the same 'family' take them there - let them sort it out

Dove, there are very few branches of Waitrose up here so LP will need to drive some distance.

How nice to have a happy ending Dove.
Puppy and I have been in the garden all day - you'd not know but twigs and leafs have been relocated to different parts of the garden (and my fire engine has had its radiator flushed and drained).
Any ideas for supper?
We're having leek & potato soup and toast ... we had quite a big lunch.
