I booked a day off after my 12 hour shift yesterday and the sun is out! It did pour down earlier but I sat in my back porch with a cuppa and it was lovely!
Just put some prunings, kitchen scraps and cardboard bits in my compost bin. The other compost bin is ‘ready’.
I hope everyone is enjoying the day. Hi @Teacup 👋🏼 welcome to the Forkers chat.
bank hol here too with torrential rain this morning and muggy, sticky air at the moment. Raced against the weather this morning to pick the mirabelles left on the tree that would otherwise rot. OH has made 2kg of jam this afternoon.
Extremely upsetting news about a young man's (22) death in the neighbourhood. We don't know what happened, my son used to go to school with his brother. Poor family.
Are you a nurse @AuntyRach? 12 hours shift is harsh, hope you get a deserved rest.
I hope the horrid tights are off @punkdoc, but they do save lives.
No, sadly not, tights still on for another 10 days. Walked without crutches for the first time today, now getting as much pain from the non operated site as I am from the surgery side. Seeing the surgeon again next month when hopefully we can schedule the second side.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

well done on the progress, but don't try to rush things.

I guess the length of time depends on the kind of op. Hang on in there, you are making progress, gently does it.
Yes I am @coccinella. Luckily being the team leader I don’t do the 12 hour shifts all the time as I have office and teaching days as well as clinical duties. I love that no two days are the same. Challenging, tough and tiring but that’s why it’s called work I suppose!
Keep up the progress Punk! Good job there’s no August heat wave with the surgical stockings situation!
At last, what a beautiful day! Wall to wall sunshine, outside in a tee shirt day (together with trousers of course, wouldn't want to frighten the wild life). Pottered around doing needed odds and ends, feeding birds and fish and old pony who needs his daily 'goodies', several walkies for the dogs getting them to go mouse hunting in the undergrowth round the pond to exercise themselves while I sat in a suitably placed chair to rest my legs. Rescued the old (19) cat from our small dome barn where the silly girl had gone investigating and decided that she couldn't possibly get down - cat claws in my shoulder as she clung on to me were not too pleasant but at least we both arrived back on terra firma unscathed. Lots of breaks taken during the day with obligatory coffee and sandwich or tea and a cake, just sitting quietly in a chair listening to the birds, so peaceful. Same again tomorrow (without the cat episode I hope) as daughter will be home from Sussex in the evening and this peaceful atmosphere will be gone - think I may tell her she's welcome to stay a bit longer!
Hi @Teacup and welcome, the forkers here are lovely folk and are polite enough to put up with my rambling posts.
I enjoyed that too @steephill as I live in Dordogne and OH loves in south Norfolk so we spend time in each. We are in Dordogne at the moment, OH goes back to Norfolk on Thursday, I will join him in a month.
We went to lunch with Son 2 and family near Bergerac. They have 5 children, all cute. I'm going to spend the day with them on Thursday after OH has caught his plane. I don't know how we'll eat all the very ripe figs, peaches and plums that they have given us from their garden. My peaches and figs aren't ripe yet. I still have figs frozen from last year and we don't eat jam.

It is indeed good to see you’re making yourself at home here @Teacup 😊 … hope you’ve found yourself a comfy chair in a congenial corner 😉 I’ve been a bit preoccupied with ‘life and death and stuff in between’ the last few months so we’ve not had as many cakes to hand around as usual … but the kettle is always on … and sometimes we treat ourselves to something a bit cooler, 🍻 or 🍷 especially if @punkdoc is around. Mind you, we don’t want him wobbling on his crutches … so not very often at the moment …
