    I have to admit to laughing my head off when my daughter told me. I expect my reaction would have been different if it was one of my kids. He's never had things hard, they fall into his lap. God knows how. All fancy clothes, expensive trainers,haircut,perms. He came for Christmas lunch a couple of years ago,I was dreading it, but it was OK.

    Sleep tight @Pat E

    @Nanny Beach ... so it'll come hard to him when things start to go wrong in his life ... like going abroad on holiday and falling off the edge of the world ......... 🤣

    Afternoon folks, still very breezy this morning and colder than yesterday which made my usual walk  earlier not very pleasant. Trying to rain now as well.
    Quite excited to see a Green woodpecker on the lawn this morning and then he found a big ants nest on top of the wall so really tucked in. That's two we've seen this last fortnight. 

    Isn't it always the way that you spill things on new stuff @Dovefromabove, it's never the very old things that don't matter. Hope it comes out of the new cotton duvet, hot coffee's always a bit problematic I find. Be interesting to find out the result of your PCR test though, hopefully negative.

    I'd better get up and do some housework I suppose. I've done some washing/drying then the brushed cotton bed set can go back on the bed - we've got used to its comfy warmth.

    Hope all folks are safe (and their gardens) in the north.

  • Evening all,

    I managed a day at work - hurrah! Exhausted now, but it was fairly quiet and I just took it steady away. Still on the painkillers every 4 hours. Physio again in the morning. 

    Glad you're feeling better @Dovefromabove, shame about the bedding. Hope it's come clean.  :/

    Eat and sleep, that's my agenda for this evening. 

    Have a good one all. :)

    Not feeling too good. Dentist last Thursday for general check up (no problem) and discussion about removal of large tooth that had been steadily breaking up over the last covid year. Organised a date.  But Friday started with a little niggle in said tooth, by Saturday abscess beginning to form, fully blown and raging by Saturday evening. I'm not a happy bunny! Off back to dentist tomorrow for emergency anti-b's and to set early date for tooth removal. I blame Tom, the dentist, he should never have spoken about taking the tooth out in the first place, it was quite happy where it was and he just upset it!!

    Oooh! Poor you @AnnaB 🤗 
    could you manage a ☕️ or would a 🥃 help? 😉

    I'm on pain killers every 4 hours Dove so no drinks I'm afraid. Lots of tea already but really think I need to eat as now feeling a bit weak and sorry for myself. Don't fancy much though, maybe try a bowl of tomato soup and dippy bread. Must pull myself together! Thanks for the sympathy.

    Goodness a lot of posts whilst I've been absent. Can't possibly read all, hope I'm not missing anything madly exciting. 

    The storm on Fri/Sat took my broadband and phone line, the signal for the mobile round here is abysmal - one blob to just manage to get a text through and that's it. No phone signal unless I go out into the garden. 

    No damage to the house and only the archway holding up the clematis montana in the garden so very lucky. Not so lucky down in the garden where I do volunteer work though, quite heartbreaking to see years of growth smashed to bits.
