Morning everybody, torrential rain here from early morning and forecasted to last all day so no gardening. Both arms are a bit sore with vaccine jabs and feeling a bit rough so will take it easy. Have a facial (a birthday present) booked in for this afternoon so that will be beautifully relaxing and we are expecting our DIL again tonight (with dinner!!) which is all good.
Have a great time @coccinella and enjoy the wedding.
Enjoy your second birthday lunch @Busy-Lizzie, hope your weather's better than ours today.
I was jabbed and had joined OH as he was putting some shopping through the checkout, all before 10:30 which is when my flu jab was due
I’ve put some tea towels and pinnies in the wash and now for a coffee and a sit down before leaving here just after noon to pick my glasses up from Specsavers …
How’s the morning going for the rest of you?

Hi all Absolutely hoeing it down here. Just done something I swore I would never do, bought a TV for upstairs. After first hip I found myself staying upstairs quite a lot, as sitting was uncomfortable for a few weeks, so thought a TV might help.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Good morning (just 😁). It has ceased racing for the moment, but it’s going to be a day of heavy showers interspersed with drier bits, and very blustery. At least it’s not cold.
I think the tv upstairs is a good idea for you @puncdoc. We have one in the spare bedroom, but to be honest, it doesn’t get used. The only reason we have it is that when OH worked away from home and was in digs, his room didn’t have a tv so we bought an inexpensive one for him to use. It might come in useful one day, though, and isn’t hurting anything living in the spare room.
OH has just gone out to buy a new digital box? Not sure if that is the right term.
The BBC are upgrading their systems apparently and soon we won't be able to access their programmes as our TV is not a HD ready one. OH has just gone out to buy a new digi-box (?) which will do the trick we hope and we will also be able to record programmes which we can't do at the moment. I have my doubts as whether I will be bothered to record anything but it might come in useful. We have to use Freesat as our reception is so poor.
We do have a another TV in our second living room upstairs in the loft which comes in useful sometimes.
Hope the tooth doesn't give you too much trouble while you are in lovely Rome @coccinella.
I've had to buy a new socket thingy because we've had notification that BT are switching our landline to digital. It is not convenient to plug the phone into the wifi router so we need another switch. Hopefully the second phone in another room will still work as well. Will have to remember to dial the area code for all numbers.
No car at the moment - battery dead again. I have a solar powered trickle charge which I plug in to it every day but I guess there hasn't been enough sun the past few days and whatever it is in the car that leeches the battery has flattened it again. SIL will charge it up for me over the next couple of days. (I hope - I really need it for Saturday). So I'll be walking to tonight's meeting - in the forecast heavy rain. Luckily it's not too far away.
Beware the digital box thing! We have one with each tv, and OH has connected them up in such a way that we have to have the digi box on for the tv to work, and two remote controls to wrangle. For some reason, I have a mental block where this is concerned, so if OH is not around to change the channels or retrieve recordings, I’m incapable of getting the tv to work. Not a big problem, seems to be nothing but rubbish on anyway. When I had Covid last year, and spent nearly ten days in the spare bedroom, OH e-mailed me instructions and I was able to binge watch ‘The Expanse’ ! I’ve since forgotten how it all worked. I can’t play cards either. Have to be retaught the rules unless I play every day in a row. Strange.
