    Hi everyone. I've had a day of it. Felt a bit unwell after cup of tea and two pieces of toast, sat on lounge chair, then got strange tingling all over my body (not just down the left side). Asked Hubby to take me to Cas for a check up. Spent the rest of the day hooked up to all the wires, and laying on a hard bed. Eventually I was told I could go home as they couldn't find any heart probs. am now sitting on said lounge chair thinking about the evening meal. I really don't like being 76. Too many strange things to get used to. image

    However, all is ok now, so putting it all behind me.

    hope you are all having a good day.

    Busy - glad your day ended on a high.   Are they all Brits or some local French too?   I don't know any Belgians who make cake but the Germans are very good.   Lots of fruity apple and cherry cakes with nuts.

    Another wet day here and cold and dull and windy.  Might have to put a summer duvet back on the bed. Even Pusscat snuggled up for warmth last night and she has her own sheepskin on the bed!   Certainly not a day for gardening - again.  I shall do a horror shop (SM) and then be tied to my sewing machine altering curtains and catching up on Charlie's garden shows while OH gets wet playing golf.  

    I prefer my morning coffee on the hoof - after my juice - whilst feeding the birds and giving the dogs their morning cuddles and toothy chews.

    Lilly i will certainly try!!! By the way what walled garden is it?

    I haven't been on for a while as a few issues at home. Hay ho life goes on.

    Fairy i have been doing some research on the great glen way and it's a deffo for next June but i am tempted to do a Milngave to Inverness. Still trying to decide.

    Glad to hear pdoc back.

    Pat hows the weather in  oz? hope your well.

    Hope everyone else well.

    Weather is very cold and damp, Bushman. Sydney hit by severe rainy weather and the surrounding ranges had snow (called the blue mountains). Lots of TV footage of people without chains trying to drive along frozen roads

    Hi Pat - sorry to hear about your trip to A&E. Hope you feel better tomorrow image

    Am looking forward to watching the Scottish walking programmes Fairy - I enjoy the scenery & OH sits there with the OS maps plotting future trips image (my knees only do very short walks but he wants to do some long ones involving tents & camping stoves when he retires).

    On a similar note  - DOVE - we might enjoy a programme on BBC2 tonight at 6.30 - Blitz Cities. Tonight is about the WW2 air raids on Norwich.

    Sounds very Scottish like weather Pat. Over here they have come up with tyre socks for winter driving.

    Much easier to fit and give reasonable results on snowy or icy roads. A good few years back we were hit by an ice storm. Rain froze almost instantly and built up on buildings and power cables etc. power pylons collapsed under the weight of ice, we had no power for about two days and it took the years to upgrage the lines after.

    I don't like the sound of that Bushman. Especially how long it took to fix.

    the tyre socks might be worth investigating. I'll get Hubby to google it. We of course have the old fashioned chains which are a pain to put on.
