Morning all xx

It's raining here. I'm up, made my bed, taken my meds, turned over the calendars, completed the nyt puzzles, and I'm supping a brew.

I've not posted as I've not flown! My hospital appointment next week was weighing on my mind. Not the actual appointment but getting to the hospital and parking there. Eugh, parking 😱. Anyhoo I've come up with a solution. And it's quite mse. 😇. I'm going on the bus. And a friend is coming with me. So it'll be an adventure. And she'll be able to attend the appointment with me. And breathe...

I had my bloods done on Monday and they're still not right. Abnormal, that's me 🤪. So I have a telephone appointment on Saturday to discuss that. I assume they'll want to tweak my meds again.

I will fly today. I promise.

To Do Today List

• WUDUPA- WULTD
• Feed the birds ✔
• Put out the recycling ✔
• Change Sassy's seed and water ✔
• Clean out Sassy ✔

That'll do for starters. Then I can build on that.

Healing vibes to all the poorlies. And much love to all.

Morning all,

Hugs to Jazee and GWS vibes to Iona. But thank you to Iona as well - I had been putting my aching left arm down to an extreme bout of exercise (highly unlikely). Today it dawned on me that it was due to Friday's flu jab 🤦‍♀️.
Yesterday was outside flying at the allotment and also cleaning the gh up a bit. Today I have had to get back to indoor flying, not least because it is finally raining here. Bathroom and bedroom both cleaned, landing vacuumed. I need to finalise the Mr M order for tomorrow next. I have been using HB’s list of 3 idea for the past week as I find that keeps me focussed and less prone to overwhelm.
Kettle has just boiled if amyone wants to join me for a coffee? Has anyone heard from Narc0 lately or maybe I have just missed her post - my thread kept refusing to update earlier.

Jazee

Morning all. Thanks for all your good wishes for Poppet. Her surgery lasted two hours yesterday. Fingers crossed we may be able to bring her home later today.

Flying wise, finding it hard to focus so diddly squat has been done really apart from basics.

As well as completing my earlier list I've put the bins out ready to be emptied tomorrow.

I've also applied to claim my State Pension from 1st February.

I'll drive into town and pick up my repeat prescription this evening.

Evening all. I hope Poppet was discharged from the vet's today.

I have still been feeling grotty for most of the day - didn't get dressed until lunchtime, but wrapped myself up in a blanket and snoozed my way through Homes under the Hammer and Crimewatch. Began to feel a bit livelier after lunch: bottled the chutney (7 jars) and mixed and baked the fruit cakes (8 small, plus one from the leftovers which is larger but not much thicker - someone in my family will happily eat it!). And I cleaned the kitchen again.

DH got up early to take his car for its MOT, and got a bus home. He is quite into walking up the hill from the bus stop nowadays! He got a phonecall later from the service mechanic to say that it had failed on the condition of the rear suspension on both sides, rendering it unfit to drive. I pointed out that 99.9% of the time when there are more than just the two of us in the car, it's only Rosie who is in the back. The car has been kept in until the mechanic can fit the job in between other bookings - the earliest it might be done is Monday. Hey-ho. DH has managed to make arrangements for another member of the model railway club to give him a lift to an all-day exhibition on Saturday for which they are both stewarding, and I am very grateful not to have to drive him as it is 50 miles from here and they're on duty all day.

OpenScreech were supposed to be coming this afternoon to hitch us up to full fibre, but didn't. Neither of us had gone out at any point during the afternoon, and since Rosie is doorbell reactive, I'm quite sure we hadn't just slept through their arrival. I await a note of abject apology…..

I enjoyed Joe Lycett on WDYTYA this evening and need to think about getting stuck into my family history again. In the 1851 census Joe's 2x-great-grandfather Robert Wilkinson is shown as a chimney sweep (climbing boy). My 3x-great-grandfather had been active in the early 19th century campaign, led by Sir William Wilberforce, against the employment of children in this type of work. In 1823 3x-GGF wrote, illustrated and self-published a pamphlet entitled "A Letter to the Mistresses of Families: On the Cruelty of Employing Children in the Odious, Dangerous, and Often Fatal Task of Sweeping Chimnies and on the Facility with which the Practice May be Almost Wholly Abolished" in which he promoted the idea of using one of these new-fangled chimney sweeping machines. Sadly his argument was not sufficiently convincing to change the mind of the Master and Mistress of Wimpole Hall who were still using climbing boys - probably including Robert - in the 1850s.

I will try to flutter in other parts of the house tomorrow.

Morning all.

Hope you're feeling better HB, and well done applying for your pension Round.

Poppet is home. Seems to have no bladder control at the moment so have asked DH to pick up some puppy training pads to line her beds with. Washing machine is whirring. She has lots of drugs to take at specific times and I'm not flying as I can't leave her.

Morning all

I have pegged out towels and drilled a hole in my DR wall to put a rawlplug and a screw to hang my clock on; I collected it from the repairer on Tuesday.

Went to have my hearing checked yesterday - and am having hearing aids. Now I know why I didn't know there were grasshoppers on my garden (which I was thrilled about) until my niece said she could hear them! I did see one though! (After I had been told they were there).

Apparently hearing loss can be linked to dementia and I don't want to go down that road if I can avoid it.
