I’ve had one of those days, as well. Hubby got a fire call about 11.30 am. Got into his proper clothes, Drove down to the fire shed, organised a couple of teams to help, them started fire fighting not far from our back boundary 😳. He rang at 4.30 to say he’d be home soon. Fire out. Some Saturday. 🙈🙈
Morning all, @punkdoc the physio told me after my op that if I fall I'm to fall onto my hip and not forward onto my knees as this would put too much pressure on the new hip and I would be in a wheelchair for two months. Take care!
You'll look back on this birthday and be grateful @Busy-Lizzie - finding those clots means you can be treated for something you didn't know you had! Same thing happened to my OH - went in for one thing and they found an aneurysm which, after a couple of years of monitoring, they decided to operate on. He could have dropped dead and we would have had no idea why! Glad you are feeling a bit better.
Sorry folks for not commenting much - such a busy time.
I was heartened to read that @punkdoc was walking about. But oh dear - a fall!
The dahlia pictured an age ago was indeed Totally Tangerine. I love it!
Went to an exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre with my daughter and 2 teenage granddaughters yesterday. There is a very small parking area next to it. I tried to get into a space that was too tight, so reversed out and then tried to turn the car around in a very tight road that was on a bend to go back to what I thought were restricted spaces but a man indicated to my daughter that was OK. Couldn't see out the back, bumped into a bollard, displaced a panel in the rear but finally parked. Had to have a cup of tea to calm down before we could enjoy the exhibition. And find time to get the car into the garage again, having just got it out after work done so it could pass it's MOT.
Ah well.
And can everyone please start doing anti-rain dances so it doesn't rain on our parade on Sunday?
Evening folks, having another quiet day as not feeling brilliant. Son has arrived and has done some gardening jobs for me including lugging out an old phormium from a big pot so I can now get the gardener to plant the DA rose I was given for my birthday on Tuesday next. It's Desdemona, a beautiful, cream fragrant rose so I'm putting next to our arbour in the front garden. He's now cooking us dinner before attending his mate's 50th birthday bash. I haven't been allowed to do anything bar bellow instructions at him. He's a star!
Glad you suffered no repercussions from your fall @punkdoc, bit scary though. I'm being extremely careful not to do t@punkdoc
Fingers crossed for good weather @didyw, think you've got us Lizzies muddled though. Parking spaces seem to be smaller by the day and the bigger cars don't help matters. Thank goodness our car beeps at us when reversing near to an object. A great help.
Waiting for spaghetti Bolognaise to cook. The 3 children said they like it.
I was going to mention about being the wrong Lizzie @didyw but the right Lizzie has beaten me to it!
I've noticed that about parking places @Lizzie27, but I think they are even smaller in France. I mentioned it to OH's daughter recently and said I wonder why everyone has such big cars nowadays - then, too late, remembered that she has a people carrier!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Glad you are ok @punkdoc you really must be more careful and stop giving poor Moira heart attacks. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling so good today @Lizzie but it sounds as though your son has everything well organised for you. I hope he enjoys the Birthday bash. I had a worrying near miss with the car yesterday. Was about to pull out of a parking place at the side of the road through our village, checked all around then checked again, started to pull out when another vehicle swept passed me having pulled out from the other side of the road. It was an electric car grrrr! Not in my vision for just a few seconds, I never heard the engine fire up from just across the road, nor did I hear the vehicle until it was level with my door. These electric cars are downright dangerous it seems to me! Felt quite shaky for a while.

@punkdoc!!! 😱🤯🤬🤬🤬 🛋 📚
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Glad you had a good day out @Dovefromabove.
I hope your fall didn't do any damage @punkdoc. Please be careful.
We are babysitting for Daughter 2 until Monday.
It rained in the night but not enough for the garden.
