  • Why thank you @Dovefromabove and yes i’ve had the same issues with my studies. I got glandular fever whilst i was doing my A Levels and i was so poorly from it i couldn’t carry on. Luckily though i have been accepted to do a University degree starting in October that i will be able to do from home so i’m very much looking forward to starting that. Absolutely wonderful to hear that your daughter was able to recover, I love hearing positive stories because it gives me hope to.   

    Goodnight @Pat E. I read back and heard about your nasty fall. It’s very good to hear that you’re healing well. I hope you have a wonderful rest.

    Liv,20 years old, you are but an egg! Have a friend who constantly complains think Harry Enfield,Perry, except she's 70.I got up at 6.30,it's now 2,I had an overnight oats,a quick read of the paper and that my sitting down, Haven't been shopping proper, wonder if shops would be mad, today.Oh,I did sit down and order a couple of things on line,a fan heater for the summer house,and clock, got my weight bench and E bike out there and it's cold,old man spent last week insulating it,but it still needs heating.This little job doubles as a fan when it's hot.The clock is for timing, in-between reps,at the moment I am taking my little bedside alarm clock out there, dogs have had good run in the park.lunch done and a ski risotto on for dinner, Still got to water the seedlings,plant stuff and haven't vacuumed for 2 days.Do you know or have you tried the excercise for that Dove?

    Really heavy frosts this morning with a thick layer of ice on both cars.  They're outside cos their garage is full of garden chairs being processed for spiffing up for this year.  After another bad night I rolled over and went back to sleep again and got up eventually.

    OH has been busy sowing grass seed on his new lawn once temps got up to 8C.  We'll get to a giddy 11C later.   All the watering it's going to need will at least mean I can weed the rose garden and move the Michaelmas daisies and Lemon Queen thugs which grew way to fat and tall.

    Possum is giving blood at Angles this pm so I'm staying clean so I can drive her home again.   No hanging around being force fed juice, hot chocolate, croissants and sandwiches during the pandemic and all sorts of instructions about eating and drinking well beforehand.

    I have tile grouting to get on with and a bit of wood trim to finish painting

    @Busy-Lizzie our little local Carrefour Market has Marmite, Golden Shred and Ginger jam but no baked beans.   My usual leclerc used to have all of those plus Golden Syrup but no more.   I found baked beans and HP sauce at the Leclerc in La Roche-sud and stocked up but Possum is going to have to embrace home-made baked beans.

    I now have a jab booked for April 30th.   

    Hope your back eases @Dovefromabove but would ibuprofen gel applied to teh area affect ingested meds?

    Take care everyone.  Keep warm and safe.

    @Nanny Beach I was very fortunate in my early 20s to be referred to and treated by the wonderful Gregory Greive who lived nearby 
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281272567_Grieve's_Modern_Musculoskeletal_Physiotherapy_4th_Edition_A_review  

    I was able to go back to him for several courses of treatment following my pregnancies and also for a problem due to riding. 

    I have continued to follow his advice and exercises which have never failed to sort my back out🤞 😊 

    @Obelixx the pharmacist advised to use ibuprofen gel only as a last resort, when taking my BP meds, so that’s what I do 😊

    Doesn't work for me anyway @Dovefromabove, not on the stupid knee anyway but, perversely, these new toothache meds seem to be having a positive effect on the knee.  I shall have to have a word with my GP next time I book an MOT or maybe the knee man if I see him first - next infiltrations booked on 1, 8 and 15/7.  His partner in the practice has retired so longer delays than usual.

    Possum has driven herself to give blood which is a surprise as she's been very much off driving for the last month or two.   That means I can get messy so I'm painting the black trim and then taking eggs to the neighbours and then setting up ready to lay, cement and grout tiles in the Cave tomorrow.

    Interesting BAFTAs last night yes/no?

    I enjoyed the BAFTAs @Obelixx. Thought there were a few films I would look out for, when they are available on SKY.
    Can't see me going to the cinema any time soon, even though I might be allowed.

    Very sad about Shirley Williams, a politician I much admired, not something you could say about [m]any today.

    Shirley Williams,  one of the old guard of decent politicians, who actually wanted to make a difference in a positive way.
