    Morning all.

    Grey and cold outside. 

    Happy Birthday @Mrs-B3-Southampton,-Hants   

    Nothing exciting happening today, just a visit to the pharmacy for OH's prescription.

    Sounds like some lovely lunches were had yesterday.  

    I worked on a programme I agreed to do for the spring lunchtime concerts series and sent it off to the organisers, then we binge watched a few of The Traitors US on iplayer as we enjoyed the UK series.  Americans are so much more - vocal - than us aren't they?  Some of them were 'stars' from other US reality shows and all of them were around the same - young -  age.  Ours had people from all sections of society and was so much better.

    Missed Call the Midwife as we watched the Great Pottery Throwdown.  But can catch up with that on iplayer.  Which involves taking my laptop to near the tv, plugging in a scart lead and doing it that way, so a bit of a hassle.  We refuse to get a larger, smart, tv which means that we cannot read the text messages that characters increasingly send each other in tv programmes.  At least they don't do that on Call the Midwife!

    OH off to the dentist in a bit.  I had planned to go to a neighbouring town tomorrow but have been informed there is a Coronation planning meeting I had agreed to go to.

    I'm glad the Coronation arrangements are in safe hands @didyw 👍

    Hi all

    Another day at the hospital having tests and waiting around. Much better than being an inpatient though.

    We have had snow this morning, but now bright sun.

    At least you get to go home and sleep in your own bed @punkdoc :) ... and you're not taking up a bed when you don't need to.  :)

    Afternoon all, a quiet Monday for us as well. Had our usual walk this morning, it's been dry and sunny although chilly. The temperature's just dropped 3c in an hour so expecting really cold temps tonight - got my fleecy warm jamies out ready! We've also fetched the old oil radiator from the garage to keep us warm hopefully when the gas is switched off on Wednesday. I've got two more small fires up in the loft which we can also use. It's typical isn't it, the installation of the new boiler's been booked for months and it's happening in one of the colder weeks!

    Hope you get your thyroid problem sorted @Pat E and that your tests are ok @Punkdoc

    Good luck with the planning @didyw.

    I've just watched a squirrel reach the special mealworm feeder I bought for the robins, grrrr. He's actually balancing on top of the plant supports which I tied the plastic netting to underneath. They're such crafty beggars aren't they.

    That must be a huge relief @punkdoc. I imagine it’s been playing on your mind and not helping your health. Just need the rats sorting now 🤞.
  • Excellent news @punkdoc ( & not before time). Hoping your other issues are also swiftly resolved.
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    Wonderful news, Punkdoc! That should make you feel a lot better! Just the blood tests and the rats to deal with next. Keep strong.
