    Hi all

    Cold and sunny, a proper Winters day.
    Hopefully hip will be done between Christmas and New Year, but surgeon is not sure what operating time he will be given, so basically I have to be ready every day. It is going to be stressful, but it is my best chance of getting done.

    Morning all.

    @Lizzie27 in France you can start learning to drive at 15 if you have an approved adult, usually a parent, with you after you have had a course of lessons with a driving school. However, you can't have a full licence after passing your test until you are 18. There has to be an A plate on the car, which stands for apprentice. I did it with Son 2. It means that your child has quite a bit of experience before driving alone.

    OH slept a bit better, only one big bout of coughing in the night, but he's been coughing this morning.

    Wretched cockerel woke me at 5am and again at 6.50. It was in NDN's acer which overhangs our garden.I shot it with the water pistol and it flew off with a load of squawking.

    I had invited friends for dinner tonight, had to postpone it.

     Good afternoon all.
    A chilly 24C here today.
    Good luck with the hip @punkdoc.
    Hugs to all who feel they'd like one.

  • Afternoon all,

    My best wishes to your OH @Busy-Lizzie I'm sure the antibiotics will do the trick for him.
    My best wishes to you also  @Lizzie27  Hopefully the problems in your blood tests are very minor and will prove transient.  I'm hoping the work on your driveway proves both aesthetically pleasing and durable.
    Today is the first day it has felt really cold.  I suspect that this is because on other days this cold there was sunshine, but today there is 100% cloud cover.  I may soon put a second blanket on the bed which signifies full-on Winter mode for me.

    Stay safe out there ladies and gentlemen.

    Oh dear, that's not much fun. Does that mean the staff are attending to your every whim?!
