Cat, Midnight: Who rang? Must be time for supper.
Foxy Loxy: Where's that cat?

The sparrows are squabbling a lot at the feeders at the moment. Some quite intense fights!
Time for a cuppa!
Have a good day, as best you can.

Like the sketchKGood morning everyone from the edge of the food desert here in the dark and dangerous north. It’s like having a bit part in that film Ice Cold In Alex but the ambulance is stuck outside A&E. Stab, jab, kebab was 5.2 this am. Steaks - can’t go wrong with steaks - well you can if you go to a restaurant in the UK - always a bit of a lottery. I like the bavette (flank) steaks from Morrisons, only a couple of quid a pair. Full of flavour and they marinade well. @ianpspurs, hugs for the Paxlovid rebound and hope that it does not last long.
Just ordered half a ton of smokeless coal briquettes - they will arrive on Friday in 25kg bags so I can time Mrs Miggins running up and down the drive doing her worlds strongest woman practice runs. I would do it myself but I am more skilled in the art of encouragement and stop watch operations. Also, I didn’t fill out the entry forms.
Art bit - squiggle, squiggle add some ink. Bin day tomorrow so best write a note to myself about putting the bin out tonight. Have a great day if you can. Best make some more koffy.

Thank you very much @Granny_grump_What a beautiful painting or picture very colourful K
I have been genuinely surprised that the bills have been … ok. Obvs not much gas (apart from hob) used in the summer and didn’t have the choice re: Smart Meter - Npower sold to eon.next and they converted it but Covid hit before I got the home metre.We don’t have a smart meter - I don’t think that they are that smart. I take readings from gas and electric meters and send them in at month end . My bills have not really gone up much. Sorry you are not getting shifts, hope that changes for you.
I had a gastroscopy, I thought I would be brave.In my case @lindisfel there was nothing on file at my doctor's surgery. There was no information there about any endoscopy, and I had not been to see any doctor, or specialist that year or the year before.
I knew nothing about endoscopy or if it was top end or bottom end. I did turn up for the appointment and I was terrified. It was for 9am on the Thursday, and the letter only came Tuesday afternoon.
No time to investigate where this endoscopy appointment originated from. I cannot use the telephone with being deaf to find out. So I physically went to the GP practice on the Wednesday, but they said there was nothing on record there, and they knew nothing about it, and the endoscopy referral was not initiated by them.
When I got to the hospital I found out it was via mouth. I am asking all kinds of questions because I do not know why I am having it. When I am told there is a camera via mouth going downwards, that was me in a panic. You are anesthesising me I asked. No they said. I got up to leave.
I explained I have excessive dry mouth and throat due to Sjogrens Syndrome, and I am panicking it will get stuck.
Remember I have not seen any specialist at this hospital in Wales, or any hospital in Wales over any issue. I had moved to Wales about 10 years previously.
Although I am terrified, because this whole endoscopy thing was totally out of the blue, there is this wee voice inside me that said I should go through with it.
They agreed to anaesthetise me in the end.
The guy who did the procedure was the actual specialist I saw a couple of weeks later. And he told me of a pile of problems I had, and I got various medications for them, and strategies on how to deal with them.
So, in the event, I was glad I went, and although I questioned the specialist, he could give me no answers as to who referred me except to say it was a nurse. My partner J came with me to the follow up appointment, and he asked as well who had referred me, the specialist just said a male nurse again.
The specialist was a lovely kind friendly guy.
But it still bewilders me who initiated this.. maybe it was an angel?
Sounds horrendous.I had a gastroscopy, I thought I would be brave.
Never again its a nightmare of continuous gag reactions. Next time I shall be drugged first.

A cracking little film...btwIt’s like having a bit part in that film Ice Cold In Alex but the ambulance is stuck outside A&E
Hi @Lainie715.6 this morning did a work out yesterday so that probably helped. I am surprised though as I had chopped leeks with minced lamb yesterday. I know it wasn't the lamb. I didn't have many just enough to add flavour and I remained in the 7s for most of the day, a bit high for me. I had some boiled chicken later in the evening still in the 7s and went to bed annoyed with myself! Got up this morning and 5.6 so all ended well. I picked out the chopped leeks from the mince lamb and had it this morning with the remaining boiled chicken, I was starving! Going to be busy for the next couple of days so we will see how the levels play out.
Could be worse ..Shopping today, hopefully it will not be raining but I am afraid this must be one of the wettest Autumns for years in Cumbria.
Eventually it will switch to dry and frosty.
Not warm today though at 10 deg C.
Have a good day all.

Sods law in action....Having rescheduled all sorts of appointments yesterday following the negative test I seem to have developed the Paxlovid rebound in the form of something like a heavy cold. JKP is recovering and testing negative but isolation/separation seems a wise precaution.
It has been really lovely seeing you back on the thread. Hope you are back again soon. I am sure you are really good at your second career and you will get more shifts.Think I won’t be bothering much either posting for a while. Was nice to be back for a couple of days.
Thank you… it was just a gut kick yesterday to see the live and not be on the team for the end of the season.It has been really lovely seeing you back on the thread. Hope you are back again soon. I am sure you are really good at your second career and you will get more shifts.
