Evening all, we're back from our old car Rally near Loughborough, lovely meeting up with old friends, some of whom OH has known for 40 years, me for 27 years. Hectic 4 days so rather tiring and another quite long journey home. Had a superb fillet steak in the hotel last night (indulgent birthday treat), the best I've ever eaten, followed by a drizzled chocolate brownie with honeycomb icecream - very moreish!
However I've had to make another emergency appointment to see a GP tomorrow as I've lost my sense of balance and feel dizzy when walking - don't know why as it's not listed as a side effect of the steroid pills. Probably I've just overdone it a bit.
Stitches out is a good milestone @punkdoc, things can only get better from now on. Hope the sleep improves soon as that makes such a difference.
You have been busy @Dovefromabove, lots of lovely things to eat.
@AnnaB, The Landy group sounds great fun, nearly as potty as our Austin Ten lot!
Listening to the lovely sound of rain. I wish they had the same in Greece and Italy. @punkdoc do you get to sleep a little during the day? It is no substitute for a night's sleep but it helps. Stitches out today and another step in the direction of recovery. I read on another thread that you lost a friend in Ukraine, I am so sorry. Was he a medic volunteering there? Today I will go swimming I think, than carry on with the packing. Getting anxious about the journey, but at the other end there's son, friends and lots and lots of good music. Pull yourself together woman 😆
Sleeping on your back is no fun @punkdoc promotes snoring too!! Good luck for stitches removal today and also to @coccinella Keep yourself together for another few days and you'll soon be away!! Hopefully too much hokey pokey ice-cream (honeycomb for UK)! @Lizzie27 I hope the dr finds out what created the dizzy spell.
Today is for the James and Jacks of the land: Si Saint Jacques est serein, l'hiver sera dur et chagrin
Today is not "serein" so if winter will be "dur et chagrin" we will know who to blame @tui34 😆 @Lizzie27 my friend had these dizzy spells which were caused by imbalance in the ear. A physiotherapist solved the problem for her. She said the manipulation was very unpleasant but worked. Worth asking your doctor?
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Hope you get sorted out PDQ @Lizzie27 … I know several folk who get occasional spells of vertigo … seems there’s quite a bit of it about as we reach the ripe old age of 27 😉 @coccinella the festival looks to have some really good performers … for something a bit different keep an ear open for Hollie Cook … in normal circumstances my son is her tour manager but he’s not quite ready for that yet … https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollie_Cook

I see she is playing on Sunday. Will check her out. There are a few changes this year, the club tent has become stage 3 where there will be bands from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales on different days. There's even more stuff this year I will be hopping from tent to tent as usual. It's exhausting 😄
Morning all, thanks for good wishes and advice. Unfortunately I am now even more in need as suffered a disaster last night all due to a big spider. Getting ready for bed, I switched the ensuite light on and opened the door, the spider ran towards my feet which startled me so much I jumped backwards, overbalanced, fell awkwardly across the end of the bed, bounced off that onto the floor and watched the spider run towards me (I hate them) so I tried to lunge forward to grab my slipper to hit it, all the while screaming my head off. Felt a huge pain in my side and just collapsed. OH managed to lift me into bed and I took some morphine. Excruciating pain but just couldn't contemplate A & E at that time of night. I think I've pulled a big muscle/tendon/ligament in my side, hopefully not broken ribs but not sure. GP is thankfully arranging for a home visit to assess me asap just in case its ribs (didn't know they did that any more). Woe is me!
Oh dear @Lizzie27! You are in the wars at the moment. I hope you haven't broken a rib, very painful. I had dizzy spells after looking up at a cathedral ceiling in Italy. It was a balance problem to do with my ears, which can happen when you are older. Mine went away after a few days but it can be a lot longer. You can do head turning exercises called the Epley Manoeuvre.
Daughter 1 and I went to the SM yesterday morning for more food as D 2 and her children were coming for lunch. We had roast chickens and roast spuds and veg then ice creams.
I was a bit worried as it was quite cloudy and the dining room here isn't big enough to open my table up for 11 people. Then there was a heavy shower so we moved the cars out of the open sided barn, the children swept the concrete floor and put 2 garden tables and chairs in there. Granddaughter washed all the chairs.
The weather cleared up in the afternoon so the families went back to the lake with the sandy beach. After a rest we joined them but we watched them from the café. OH finds it hard to get up from the sand.
D1 and family left this morning.

Much wind. Much cooler. Much sun!
