Morning all xx   Wet and windy here    I am fine , thanks x
Son got off this morning at 6.45 , hope he enjoys his first day. Thanks for good wishes

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy and windy and rain is likely later, but nothing as bad as up North - hope it doesn't cause too much disruption for anyone

 

The radio is currently talking about the the visit here of the US president - to show his affinity with his Irish roots, they called him O'Bama (what Irish roots?)

 

Earlier on there was an item about super injunctions and Twitter (something to do with a footballer being named, whatever that's about). Anyway the interviewer started off by talking about the scene in Spartacus played by Charlton Heston where his followers announce that they are Spartacus.The interviewer was completey oblivious of her error until someone pointed it out.

 

Summer, are you allowed to take the portable massage chair on the bus?

Good morning everyone, we seem to be having March winds now (we've already had Summer ).  Seriously I do hope it doesn't get too bad for those in the North and North of the Border.

 

There will be so many good wishes flooding the way of your son today Skylark, like a whole load of aunties worrying about him (and some uncles ) Do you find your arthritis worse when the rain is due Skylark, I do.

 

Try and have a good everyone no matter what the weather does.

Good morning all. Weather is very wet and windy up here.

Skylark, good luck to your son on his first day, and I hope your arthritis settles down soon.

El, I thought everyone knew that Kirk Douglas played Spartacus, and Charleton Heston was Ben Hur.

Morning everyone Yes el, I do believe the massage chair is allowed on the bus, however with no electric point to plug into, that may be a problem. I think it's high time we upgraded the facilities on the bus.. It's very windy here today, the local radio is issuing warnings for later in the day, I'll keep you updated Good luck to master skylark today what a lovely start to the week *leaves trolley with porridge selections on*

Are you a sufferer too  Well strangely enough, i find the pain eases when it rains, not all the time but mostly

Thanks and thanks to Summer too, will have to learn to multi quote....my next mission

Not anywhere near as much as some.  But sometimes I do notice it when rain is coming on.  I find glucosamine helps enormously with mine. 

 

But its nothing compared to a dear friend of mine who was born with arthritis.  She developed osteomyelitis at 10 and had to have both hips replaced.  Her spine is collapsing despite numerous operations and even the morphine she is prescribed daily is having less effect but she battles bravely on.

Glucosamine is brilliant squiggle
My heart goes out to your friend, we really dont have much to moan about really, when people have to put up with this , do we . Pass on a hug to her

Must get on, been playing with photobucket most of the morning !

I think that the humidity in the air could have something to do with arthritis - the more humid, the greater the pain. It can also be connected with air pressure, the lower the pressure the greater the pain. As my mother suffered badly, I am only too aware of the pain it causes.

 

Yogi, I agree, I thought everyone would have known that Spartacus was played by Kirk Douglas - I wouldn't be surprised if that radio clip gets played over and over again.

Yes thats true El x , plus i am a great advocate of drinking lots of water, as dehydration doesnt help with the pain either x

Skylark, multi quoting is fairly easy - use the blue cross which appears next to each posting to select. Then open the Post Reply box, and you should see the ones you've selected.

But you can only select posts from the page on which you then click Post Reply. You can't select posts from more than one page in the same Reply. (Well you can, but that involves some devious trickery )

Like that

Hi Joyron, if you are looking in. Dont mean to sound insensitive to you, talking about arthritis. Hope you are feeling good today, and hope you can post soon

Show off  Thank you, i will try xx

 

   You are an angel El xxxx

You go girl you are on a learning curve today

 I am indeed squiggle!  Thanks to you and El for teaching me stuff and not making me feel like a right numpty

Off to take my dog out, very windy now , we may land in Oz
Then listen to my son,s story about his first day ....may see you all later or tomorrow . Bye for now

The gusty winds are taking their toll on my greenhouse. A few panels have blown out and another one has smashed. My sons have put a lot of the plants into the garage for protection but we can't move the tomato plants because they are in growbags. I'm not sure that they will survive.

 

Skylark, take care when you are out walking the dog, the winds are very blustery.

Oh no! That's all you need, is the wind going to last long do you know, this could prove expensive.

The wind speed is to slow down overnight but remain windy for a few days. I can't replace the missing panels while it's windy and I doubt the tomato plants will survive the cold for very long.

Yogi, looking at the Met Office site, it looks as if the winds start to ease off a bit later this evening, but it will still be windy for another 24 hours.

Thanks El.

My sons have said they will replace the panels for me asap.

Yogi it might sound silly but could you put an old bit of blanket around them for now, to give a bit of protection against frost?  I know it works with that floss stuff they sell in garden centres.

Hi the wind is really bad here, i was nearly off my feet!
Son had a good and bad day, i may go off on one, then again, i may not .....

Thanks Squiggle, I might try that.

Eldest son has arrived and is going to see what he can do, as a temporary fix.

Best to say goodnight, not in the best of moods . Tomorrow is another day .....

Okay Skylark, goodnight.

Any job will take a while to get used to, its bewildering most first days.  Calm him down and help him to see the big picture, I know you will

It's such a shame that one thoughtless, unhelpful person can put a dampner on what should have been a great day for Skylark's son.

Signing out for tonight, catch up with everyone tomorrow.

 

Aww sorry i missed you yogi - night

Hi Ros, nice to see you, I'm signing out now too though, hope someone else pops in to say hi

Hi Skylark, hope everything is ok and hope your son has a better day tomorrow Sweet dreams all the sleepy people

aww night skylark

Awww just read this

Good morning everyone

 

I hope the wind has eased up North, and hasn't caused more damage

 

Skylark, I hope your son has a better day today

I will just echo EL this morning   Have a good day everybody
