[QUOTE Also ChelseaFred good news he was about this morning [/QUOTE]

Here I is:hello:

Sorry to be so elusive, RL is keeping me busy!

Been to Dubai for a couple of weeks (amazing place, well worth visiting) A couple of short breaks in London Town supporting the Mighty Blues, some home DIY to keep Wifey happy, Babysitting GC's and DD's Cat, Walking 4 miles a day to get to 10k steps per day to keep fit etc.

Over 20 years ago our local Council wanted to close our Outdoor Swimming Pool. We fought a campaign to keep it open and a group of us formed a Charity Trust to take it over and we have run it ever since, now as a Registered Charity. This obviously means running it ourselves with a lot of Volunteer Help, the only paid Staff being the Lifeguards. The Pool is almost Olympic size (50yds rather than 50m) and is set in lovely grounds.
All of this takes a lot of maintenance so I, and many others, have been busy in recent weeks getting it ready for the Opening of the new season starting this Saturday. The Pool has been drained, pressure-washed, painted, refilled and now heated and is looking fantastic:j I have been able to spend a lot more time there this year and the weather has been brilliant so we have got a lot done.
(Google Bourne Outdoor Pool)

So I have only been Lurking most of the last few weeks but I have been keeping an eye on you all:cool:
I'm ready for a few Glitches now so let's go!

This Retirement Lark is exhausting:)

That Sister having her biopsies today in day surgery in Cardiff - one on her tongue on an 'active' area & other on a lymph node - we need a big ladder to help her climb out of this hole :A

Will be keeping everything crossed. Maybe lots of little ladders wil do the trick, a day ata time.

Morning :)v

Well I missed the Royal wedding as ended up in A&E :eek:

I thought I had posted from my hospital bed but not sure what I did.

My continuing stomach problem has taken a turn for the worst very scary as I brought up bit of the red stuff.

Was proded and poked and full set of bloods done which thankfully were ok and told most probably abrasions on my oesophagus. :eek: But I have appointment with GP today as was suggested it is properly investigated something I have always put off.

Do exactly as the doctor tells you, and if he/she tries to give you the brush off get a second opinion, and keep going until you get the response you NEED.

TS so sorry to hear your news. Snap, hope all goes as well as possible.

Thanks for the various reminders about the Virgin trains via Nectar, I have made my booking for a journey I actually need to take .

I screenshotted the last offer -- I'd made the booking on 25 April and the bonus points have not yet been put on. Will phone them on Friday if nothing has happened before then as I am away now for work for a couple of days.

Best to get checked out. A friend had similar and was banned from eating tomatoes. Too acidic at the point they reach the oesophagus apparently. Also told not to have boiling hot drinks.
