I would have to seek out fresh milk too. Anyone who has ever had the unfortunate experience of having to drink tea with UHT milk 🤢 will be with me in the queue when the fateful phrase “don’t panic buy” is mentioned for some expected weather or transport issue.
I am one point improved on the poorly scale tonight! I’ve done an online SM delivery for tomorrow. They will definitely be able to tell from my order that a poorly, and slightly delirious, person has made the order. Paracetamol will be the first clue, then lemons, chicken soup and 3 types of chocolate biscuits. They will probably deliver in a Haz-Mat suit.
Like many of you we have a blanket of fog/mist surrounding us all day. We usually have an 'either or' here, if we are blanketed then two miles down the hill our little village is clear, but many times I have driven out of our drive in brilliant sunshine only to find the village sitting comfortably under a cosy foggy blanket. Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better @AuntyRach, little steps in the right direction. Sending healing thoughts to the others of you not feeling tip top right now.
Evening all, got back from our trip away to Stoke to meet up with family. Lovely to see my brothers and sister again, but the Xmas meal was a disaster. We had been asked to prebook our selections the week before but were told when we got there that they had run out of turkey! We were gobsmacked to say the least! In the end they agreed to waive the bill so we only paid for drinks. Don't think we'll be going there again somehow. Quite surprised the next morning to find it heaving with customers coming in for breakfast, with some of the children still in their pyjamas. Odd. No sign of a recession there seemingly, nor in the gridlocked roundabout outside Trentham Shopping Village later on.
We left on Sunday to go and stay with old friends for a couple of days who lived fairly near. Very enjoyable. They live in a very old, very large, 5 bedroomed farmhouse and were having trouble with their woodburner (and heating bills!) so warm woolly clothes were the order of the day. The journey home today across country was foggy most of the way but got very bad within 7 miles from home. Not nice at all and some idiot cyclist was on the main road, in heavy traffic and very thick fog, wearing black clothes and had no lights on his bike! A fatal accident just waiting to happen.
Pleased to hear that you're feeling a little bit better @AuntyRach and hope you get to your Xmas do.
Dr visit yesterday. Not much news but I’m now on Prednisolone tabs, Carbimazole and Escitalopram. 😡 it never ends, does it! Talk about confusing. Give me strength.
Well, it’s taken me the whole day to read back through November, but at least I’m up to date now - just in time for Dove’s next month. 😁.
This last month has been awful for me. I have absolutely no energy and shortness of breath if I try to do anything. My Doc says it’s because of the thyroid problem, but she is hoping that the new medication regime will help bring things back to normal. I really miss pottering in my garden. I spent three years (part time) studying for my Horticulture Certificate. As well as working Saturdays in a garden shop to get hands-on experience.
Currently, my head is so fuzzy, I have trouble remembering the names of my roses, etc. A couple of days ago I was looking at one of my roses flowering below the veranda and could NOT remember its name. Hubby was of no use as he isn’t really into plants like I have been. In the end, it irritated me so much that I went into my garden bookshelf and found it. - “Peace”. Doh!

We were asked if we need to use the car today … we don’t … now we can’t … we have a moat across the driveway.

Hope the gas works don't go on too long @Dovefromabove.
Time for an early night I think.
