    Alive, still napping. Will get up later again to make supper. House is becoming a tip.

    Doozer, you do not need to worry at all because of all nice peps ypu have proof that i am coping ok just moaning!

    Feeling ok today, just sleepy. I have taken the painkiller combo so feel ok. Have been Avoiding because while vodeine is procing reasonably effective i just don't want to develope tolerance or a reliabce on something that is not great longterm. Darling, darling fir watched a western while i snored in his arms earlier, and is coming to hospital with me in the morning. If not satisfied with situation after seeing the consultant we will take stock together.


    Re dnr orders imo this is something we should all thing about when well. I know where i stand and it changed as my health got better and is not now what i would want of i can be like i am usually, but seriously, its a loving act to review this ourselves when able. I know my dh would sacrifice everything to take care of a me with no hope or responsiveness but i would not want that for him. Like donor cards, people think they have time and the truth is when its needed or valuable we rarely get warning and those we love are in more need of condideration for that time than we are.

    When I visited Berlin after the wall came down, it was fascinating. I had a burger in the West Berlin burger bar that all the east Berliners queued up to eat at when the wall came down.

    Made me wonder if they got disappointed when they sat down and realised they were just eating a minced meat sandwich. And washing it down with a carbonated vegetable drink which tasted pretty much like Pepsi (which they already had in the east) :D

    Meat sandwich companies need to get a grip on their position in the grand scheme of things. Banning rivals isn't a healthy way to promote products and generate a positive vibe.

    Also they could try making better chips/fries/whatever they want to call them. BK don't seem to have any problem making tasty ones IMHO (and does anybody remember Wendy's - there used to be one in Richmond, Chewie). ;)


    This prompts me to ask a question.

    I have noticed that belin is very en vogue atm. Any one know why? I mean, in particular, now? I have never been and dh is not that keen on germany ( i have only been to cologne, briefly, which i thought a really nice little city).

    Murray is playing about 50% as well as he played at Wimbledon, so that tells you all you need to know about how well Federer is....

    Never understand why Tennis is in the games at all !!!

    I've no desire to go to W at this stage, it's quite grubby and economically inactive....

    There are loads of houses that can tick a lot of boxes..... it's the location that's hardest. My wants really require a budget of £400-450k, so the challenge is to find the wants at £225k tops.

    :)

    What I'd say of those 3 is: must have south/west facing back garden.

    Pastures, we all know that you are the no.1 authority on what you want house-wise, but don't slap us down too hard when we have our little game of findahouse. It's obvious that you are doing the research and you know the area, but it's still a bit of fun for the rest of us to have a root round Rightmove.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My son has a ticket in centre court today. I haven't watched the match. Is it exciting?

    Edit: He's won! Amazing.

    I find that place quite cute. Shame its so far out and not closer to a station.:o


    Pn, with your penchant for ice white could you compromise on render?

    Also, i was pleasantly surprised taking a five minute glance at the coast. I think you have a grwat chance of finding a very lovely compromise.:)

    Mmmm... chewy, ulterior motive I think. A native aussie at home and an NP away but just round the corner. To paraphrase Life of Brian "You're a very naughty boy";).
