That looks yum @Dovefromabove Too hot here for soup, except for gaspacho!! The sky has become very very dark and still. I wish the weather would just break - it's stifling.
Ad yes, I would freeze the soup for a chill winter's day!!
Poor Punkdoc! Sometimes ignorance is bliss! My ex-nurse sister had to have an op under GA for the first time, and was absolutely dreading the anaesthetic. She confessed that her fears were based on her experiences during training donkeys years ago, when getting the patients to sleep seemed to involve a bit of a fight! I was able to reassure her that things were very different these days and she’d be out in seconds. She was so happy when she came home afterwards. At least you won’t be having the risks of a GA, but with sedation, you might as well be asleep as you won’t be aware of anything going on. If my OH’s experience is anything to go by, you’ll be sitting up eating ice cream in no time, with no clear memory of anything that happened! Your surgeons are well aware of your medical history, and will have a cunning plan for every eventuality, so let them do all the worrying, and just look forward to enjoying your new hip.
OMG, just had a scary experience whilst having a massage - my GP rang unexpectedly as he'd had the results of the blood tests I had done only yesterday - wasn't expecting that at all so heart missed a couple of beats. He confirmed I had this Polymyalgia and wasn't at all well as it hadn't been treated for about two months. He had already arranged an emergency prescription for high dose steroid tablets which I had to pick up asap and start taking tonight. The good news is that I should start to feel much better within days. I thanked my lucky stars that it wasn't much worse news - phew!
Now at home resting with coffee and cake as I missed lunch.
Sending hugs to you @Lizzie27. I saw a bird on the feeder. Not a goldfinch, very yellow. A friend showed me a photo of an American Goldfinch which looked very similar. Are there any such birds in UK? Any other suggestions?
How big was the bird, Hostafan? We have Siskins visiting our feeder, the males are very brightly coloured, yellow with black streaks, but quite small compared with robins, for instance.
