OS ways and Poor Health

Candy I've had a big Polti vaporetto for years which is great but much too heavy for more than once a year or so use now . I did consider a handheld steamer but to be honest I don't trust my random concentration level nowadays to be using a steamer .
Have you managed any progress re the thyroid levels ?

AOT Did you manage to take things easier for a while after your outdoor adventures ?

Wednesday I'm not sure what type of support you were looking for from MH services . There seems to be certain former types of counselling that are difficult to access now .
My mop is the original E-Cloth mop and smaller one is the same brand neither need any form of added cleaner although i often add lavender essential oil to the water as it works as an antiseptic . For wiping down furniture ( painted ) radiators and paintwork I usually add rose essential oil on an ecloth .

Yesterday went pretty well but was tiring . We usually check with our usual driver the day before just to confirm all is still going ahead . His phone was ringing out and not taking messages we had to call a cab after no reply yesterday morning cue a last minute dash to the surgery .
Dr gave DD a good examination and discovered although she had just finished the AB from last week she now has an ear infection to add to the others he found last week . He prescribed another course of the AB and decided not to do the steroid injection into her shoulder . We discussed the flu injection due yesterday and he went and fetched the vaccine as he doesn't want to leave her unprotected when she's picking up everything going around . She seems fine and hopefully the ABs will see off the current infection and inflammation .
So she's back again next Tuesday for the steroid injection . Three times in three weeks I think we may as well set up camp there !

Problem now is the Barbotage appt on Friday out of our area . It's a very early morning appt and like yesterdays appt was already arranged with our driver . Most taxi drivers here don't like out of area jobs as they are losing work traveling back empty .
We've had an arrangement for a number of years re all appointments with our driver who can choose when he works for the company or himself . However far we travel he keeps himself occupied whether wandering around a diy shed or doing his crosswords in the car depending on location and is never more than a few minutes away when we call him on the mobile to say we're ready to go home .
It works well DD has got to know and trust him over the years . We laugh and joke and it takes away her stress .
If we don't get hold of him tomorrow I'll have to phone the main hackney company who are more likely to travel further afield and pre book for Friday allowing extra time to make sure we're there in plenty of time.
Like our Dr we never take him for granted as things are much easier stress and trust wise but where Dr has a back up he doesn't so I have now discovered a flaw in the all bases covered plan and will need to think about that .
I'm hoping he and his family are ok as this is totally out of character .
It's been odd weather wise today so I hope none of you are feeling the aches and pains tonight more than usual .
Take care

Candy Consider yourself kicked in the direction of the bloods
I'm a real fan of Dame Judi too . Whenever I've visited Knutsford village we do the "Cranford " walk and see Miss Matty's cottage and all the places the tales were based on . i intend getting out the dvds this winter and watching all the episodes again . That was a brilliant cast and well worth watching .
Now you can give me a kick as I need to summon up the energy to go to bed .
Goodnight
