Hi everyone x
Oh Yogi, hope you dont lose internet access for too long
Son had a bad night, thanks for asking squiggle and all, a lot of pain. The hospital only gave him paracetemol which isnt much good. I gave him a Tramadol . along with the antibiotic about half an hour ago. He is asleep, but will wake him soon, he can get a wash and some food xx
Love to all

The electrician is doing some rewiring and putting in new sockets - I also had to have extra sockets for the dishwasher and double oven.

We are having spotlights on the ceiling (6 bulbs, I think - I let hubby choose and I can't remember) and we are having lighting underneath the wall units, too.

No twinkly ceiling lights - sorry Squiggle.

afternoon all

 

mostly sunny today, i went out in sunshine to buy some holiday clothes and came out to the shop to rain! it's sunny again now though

i've got the car MOTed, wash it, nordic walked almost 6 miles and bought my holiday clothes- i went to matalan, because i'm such a sun burner that I need factor 50, therefore choose not to buy expensive holiday clothes. plus, i really like matalan, i get loads of exercise tops and tops to throw on with jeans from there

 

skylark, i do hope your son is ok, i remember the first night i stabbed my thumb, I couldn't sleep, it was too painful! i even drank (i was 24 at the time) rather a lot to try to numb it, but i could still feel it in my sleep! your poor son

 

yogi, hope your kitchen works are progressing nicely

 

el, hope you're having a lovely day

 

ros still willing you well again soon

 

joyron, hope you're doing well too

cuppa tea anyone..?

 

this one's for you yogi..

 

Summer, I love it, thank you.

you're welcome

 

i thought it was cute!

It is cute

Agreed!

goodnight, xxx

Night Skylark I am following you up (well you know what I mean, not in a stalkerish way, you don't have to look over your shoulder) Night everyone

Goodnight Skylark and Squiggle.

Sweet dreams skylark & squiggle

I'm going to sign out too. Goodnight Summer, catch up tomorrow.

Leaving a hug for Ros in case she pops in - and I hope the sinusitis hasn't been so bad today.

Sweet dreams yogi

aww night yogi and summer

 

yogi - your kitchen lights sound like mine

sky lark - sorry about your son - he sounds in a lot of pain

joyron hope you are feeling better each day

summer love yogis present - it is gorgeous + nordic walking - sounds strenuous - do you have to have training for it or do you just buy sticks and do it yourself???

Morning all xx  Nice morning, we are off to the hospital, 8.30 appointment at the review clinic. Son is not best pleased! I cant say i am either to be honest.
Have a nice day all

Good morning eveyone

 

Coolish, a bit cloudy, and likely to be showers.

 

I hope all goes well for your son today, Skylark

Good morning everyone. It's raining this morning and pretty breezy, too.

Skylark, I hope your son gets on okay at the clinic this morning.

The kitchen fitters have arrived to put in the new ceiling and hopefully the units will be fitted today - although the appliances won't be connected until tomorrow.

My laundry basket is overflowing, so can't wait to get the washing machine reconnected. I'm easily pleased.

 

 

Good morning everyone, well I could really just ditto EL's post, cool, cloudy, showers inevitable.

 

I hope all goes well at the review clinic Skylark.  Yogi not long now and you will be glowing with pride in your new kitchen - nice new dishwasher

 

Ros like Yogi says I hope the sinusitis has eased.  Is there anything you can take for it?

afternoon all Colder today but bright & pleasant Skylark. Hope the appointment went well this morning Ros, you need a couple of classes to get the Nordic walking technique down, but after that you can do it yourself- I used to go to classes but after sensing hostility from the older ladies who disapproved of my "young legs", I bought my own poles and hit the countryside myself now My lunch break is over, have a good afternoon all

Here's a 5 minute video on the basics of nordic walking.

It seems to me almost half way between brisk walking and marching, but without the sticks. I'm not sure though that the sticks are essential.

They were just jealous, Summer.

Haha thanks El, I really enjoyed that Speaking from personal experience, I notice a huge difference in Nordic walking compared to my normal walking & hiking. Using the poles tones your arms, abs, back & chest as well as easing the pressure in your legs, and by propelling you forward, you move faster and burn more calories! I love it

Off for a bath and an early night, goodnight everyone.

Night Yogi, I won't be long after you

Sweet dreams yogi & squiggle

G'night everyone else *leaves warm milk & shortbread biscuits for any midnight visitors*

aww thanks squiggle - have anti biotics and was given decongestant +  bought  olbas oil - feel much better now thank you

thanks El - that looks good summer - yes it looks interesting and burns calories - i like that

 

skylark - hope your son got on OK at the clinic

 

 

night yogi and squiggle

Good morning everyone

 

More showers likely today, but some significant rain scheduled here for much of Sunday.

 

I hope everyones' ailments are easing

Good morning everyone. Good morning El.

The sun is shining this morning. Showers are forecast for later on.

Kitchen is not progressing as quickly as hoped. It ought to have been finished by tonight, but somehow I can't see it happening.

Skylark, I hope your son's hand isn't causing him so much pain today, and how did he get on at the clinic yesterday?

Yogi, I hope they do get your kitchen finished today as it would be not good if they have to come in tomorrow or leave it until Monday.

Morning all Sunny & bright here, and I'm relieved my colleague is in today Skylark, how's your son doing? Yogi, it may suddenly all come together this afternoon, I certainly hope so for you What takeaway would you like just in case?

Hi El and Summer.

Kitchen fitters have confirmed that the kitchen won't be finished until Monday.

However, they said I will be able to use my washing machine, dishwasher and sink tonight.

Summer, I'd love a Chinese takeaway, thank you.

Good morning everyone, its a bit showery here today but as EL says I think we are in for some serious rain on Sunday.

 

Yogi I often find that's the way when you are having something done like a kitchen, at least you can use the essential things and as Summer says maybe a takeaway is the answer tonight and could you persuade that lovely hubby to take you out for lunch on Sunday?  Perfect excuse I would have thought

 

Ros I am glad you are feeling better, and Skylark I too hope your son's hand is healing nicely and he is in less pain.

 I like your idea, Squiggle.

He doesn't usually need too much persuasion to go out for lunch.

Yogi I'm disappointed for you at least you'll have the washing machine up and running, phew! Chinese it is, I'll take care of it

Hi everyone xx got my grandaughter, so its all go ! 
Son is a bit better today, he was a bit down yesterday. We have an appointment on Monday for the orthopaedic OPD, a bit later, thankfully. They just changed his dressing yesterday, i could have done that !
Hope you all wellX
Yogi , keep calm and carry on
