Just watched Lewis Hamilton win his 7th world championship, equaling Michael Schmacher. He was very emotional in his car after the race. I'm really chuffed. :-D

Good morning Before I retired I would have been in work at this time, now it feels like the middle of the night. Time for a cup of tea I think.

Good morning AnnG, Elizabeth and all

Another grey, damp day. Roll on spring.

I am sorry you still have a hangover feeling Elizabeth. It must be very annoying to be hungover when you haven’t at least enjoyed the alcohol first. It sounds as though you are joining Insomniacs Anonymous. I think several of us are members of that group. I do most of my reading in the middle of the night. As for housework - what’s that?

Ann, I love the church picture as always. I am so in awe of your talent. Is it a church you know or was it from your imagination?

Have you heard anymore from OH yet AnnG? I keep thinking of you both. I know how stressed I was last year when my OH had so many pain and mobility problems but at least we had an early diagnosis. It must be so much worse when you don’t know the cause. Keep your pecker up. Things WILL get better.

I hope everyone else with aches, pains, dicky tums etc is feeling better today. Take care and stay safe.

Morning EOS, Anng Vera and all,

By the time I post this it will be afternon.

I slept like a log last night went straight off as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Nothing to report today except we had a little sun earlier but now it overcast and miserable and sounds like its about the same where you are.

Yes I liked that painting as well and I think she is busy again learning something else today busy busy person, how does she have time to paint??

OH made a very quick call this morning just to say he had just been washed and brushed down and was now sitting in the chair instead of lying in bed (he is more comfortable with his back lying flat but they will get him up in the chair which is good. Nothing much else has happened. Nothing about his back and head. I think the main problem is dehydration which can cause all sorts of knock on effects especially of bladder and bowels. So presumably they will be concentrating on that. He did say he didn't think he would be coming home soon. so I had to tell him I was OK not to worry about me without making it sound as if I was not missing him (which I am of course). I told him to concentrate on getting better so that he could come home and he said 'OK but don't go doing too much'. See, still thinking about me.

I have just been tackling a couple of shelves in his office, which has a lot of joint filing type stuff in. When he is here it is hard to get in there to do things It looks a bit tidier now, he had so much stuff on the floor we couldn't manoeuvre the zimmer in there the day he fell into the chair tangled with his feet in the Zimmer. If he had not been so poorly it would have been quite funny.

Mel good you had a nice long sleep. I slept quite well except being on my own (even when he was sleeping in the spare room) in bed I am tending to wake up early. I was up at 0730 this morning.

I have cleaned the lounge and dining roo, topped up the bird feeders, put the bins out for tomorrows collection and cleared two of his office shelves. Think I am due a rest now. :-) :-)

I should think you are Anng. You've done loads today now relax a bit and go back to your cards. Its really good you have heard from oh to put your mind at rest and he sounds happy in there and hope they will get around to finding whats up with his back and the headaches. Was'nt he supposed to go in this week for a little op? Has anything been said about that?

Good afternoon to you dear friends,

Had another attack this morning, makes you feel drained. I'm pleased to report that Ros is a lot better today. She had a little bit of cereal for breakfast, and is sitting watching T.V.

I have just finished reading a Linda La Plant book.Very good, it's the sort of book you can pick up read a few chapters, and go back to it, and soon pick up the story.

All I have had this morning, is a coffee and mince pie. I have changed the water for the potato's and Veg. so hope theyweillbe O.K. for tonight. That is if Ros feels like eating, If not I will throw them all away.

I must remember to put the bins out. Tracy next door, has suddenly stopped putting them out for me.

Might pop back later. Take care. xxxx

Went up the shop this afternoon to get my Saturday paper and pay the bill for the shopping. Not done anything since but the chickens and cook dinner. I did make an apple and blueberry crumble which was very nice.

GOOD MORNING!

Sorry that is really loud!

Piers said "you wait and two buses come along!"

Ouch! I would have have no TV! :-S

Oh dear! Will have to set up the old TV with a back on it! :-D

Morning Elizabeth and all,

Don,t go throwing a brick at the TV EOS in lock down it a good friend.

A very grey day here with that fine drizzle that makes everything wet and damp and miserable and dark.

Getting ready for the big wipe down and I have 5 subs some of which I don't want.

Good morning all,

What a night I had, I went into the toilet before going to bed and tripped on the mat. I fell down and crashed down between the wall and the toilet.I hit my head on the wall, but worse than that I smacked my LEFT SIDE RIB CAGE, against the toilet. I was sure that nothing was broken, so got into bed. I hardly slept with the pain. This morning I rang the Dr at 8.00 am hoping to get an appointment to see a doctor. I was told a Dr would ring me later this morning. Still not heard rom them. After waiting an hour I rang 111for advice.. They was a complete waste of time. Eos has found two CREPE Bandages, and strapped me up. Slightly less pain, but I daren't take a deep breath as that hurts. I've got myself washed and dressed, in case I get a call from the Dr. to go up there, or for them to send me to A & E. to get bandaged up.

Will keep you posted, as and when I know whats going on.

STAY SAFE EVERYONE.
