That was sad @Annb But Alistair did the right thing not stroking it. He had no idea if the dog had a sudden vendetta or something.6.9 at 04.15 today. Been up and down a bit since then, but not too bad.
It was legs day today so Neil left me at the Health Centre and went off to do the shopping. The Co-op is still fairly empty and even the more exotic things (like the tinned black beans I wanted) are all sold out - presumably because tinned baked beans are not to be found anywhere. Then he found that none of the local suppliers had the piece of wood he was looking for. At least his new glasses were less expensive than he had anticipated, so that's a plus point.
It wasn't particularly hot when we went out, but it was by the time we got home and it was very bright. The sun was burning any bits it could reach through the windscreen and side windows. Still, rain and cooler weather are forecast - just as well, the plants could do with some water.
Alistair was telling me that he was held up yesterday at the end of his delivery because outside the last house he had to go to, a couple were walking 2 dogs, one of indeterminate breed, the other a chihuahua. As he walked by the chihuahua tried to reach him, but he didn't stop to pet it - that is now forbidden. Nevertheless, the dog seemed determined and, as Alistair walked away to his van, somehow it slipped its lead and ran into the road, right into the path of a car. It was killed instantly. There was much screaming and crying and, as a result, the driver of the car did not move his vehicle, blocking the road completely. Hence Alistair was late - not that he minded that. He was just concerned that it wouldn't have happened if he had just stopped to pet the dog and ignored the regulation. He's feeling a bit guilty at the moment but I reminded him that it was the responsibility of the dog owners to keep it under control and if they had, it wouldn't have happened. Sad.
They might steal our hearts, but we're so blessed to have them in our lives .Can vividly imagine Midnights reaction to the ear drops.
Brings back memories of Errant who was so compliant that he sat on my legs, I put drops in, then massage drops deeper into his ears and he just sat there and let me do it. Only shaking his head a little after he had got off my lap.
I miss him still.
Hugs @Lamont DI thought I would write a line.
I am okay but in a horrendous situation.
Mrs L. In an attempt to be healthy as possible, has been in a mental state of serious concern.
Everyone especially her mental health nurse has been excellent. But it is taking time.
I have been told I need respite.
Mrs L needs hospitalisation for a consistent basis of supervision for her mental state of extraordinary mood swings. And a complete rethinking of how her life can be changed. She has become a danger to herself and her family.
Finally. Social services are concerned about myself.
We have become desperate although I can ring a helpline or the doctors who again have been brilliant.
I am a prisoner to my wife's mental illness.
I really do hope and wish, you lot and your families are as healthy as is possible. My bestest wishes for each and everyone. I will be around but I may not be conversational. I don't have the time to read everything.
So I apologise, if you have been concerned for Mrs L and myself. This will get sorted one way or another.
I will try and update.
I do miss this thread.
And that is a line?
Best wishes.
Lamont.
Blimey, so sorry to hear that matey .Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
It would be a massive mistake to publish my blood sugars.
Last Saturday night, early Sunday morning I was admitted into hospital with low blood sugars, a life threatening 1.5 and was discharged from hospital late yesterday.afternoon.
Throughout this recent stay in hospital, I found the staff brilliant. In hindsight I the time and motion consultants have been brought in.
I have a number of medical issues rattling around at the moment and the medics are looking for a cause, heart, lungs, liver, existing medication etc, etc and the medics due to my dangerously low blood sugars in the middle of the night have fitted me with a Freestyle Libre 2 plus sensor. Also they have taken me off some of my medications and decreased the dosage of others. Warfarin, Insulin.
During my younger life sporting or otherwise I have had a number of close calls, but Saturday night, Monday morning was the closest according to the medics.
Now it is 18:07 on a Friday night and it ain’t alright for fighting. These days
Just to mention Mondays a bank holiday, genn .No, it is not. But what happened is this...
I had to go to Liverpool to sort out some business that could not be sorted out anywhere else. The nearest parking space I found was outside the William Brown Street Liverpool libraries.
I went and did my business. Came back to the car on my mobility scooter. Then I went into the library. It is a massive massive library, one of the biggest you have ever seen. Some of it has been modernised., and some of it is all the original library as it was built in 1860. I used it all the time when I lived in Liverpool.
It now has a café on the ground floor. It now has computer rooms and you can stay in those computers all day if you need to, and it has much other stuff.
I thought it would be an idea to spend a whole day here. I have not tried that yet, but I got the library books out knowing I would have to return them sometime.. so my plan was a day out for me... I did arrange to be able to renew them online, but I hit a hurdle on Friday. They need returning before Tuesday.. and the library system was having problems with its website and I could not renew them on Friday. I have emailed the library. But I will have to go in Monday or Tuesday and do my original plan of spending a day there. It definitely is cooler in there than my bungalow.... so I will be finding all that out.
The art gallery is next door. And on the other side is the Liverpool museum. Each has a café., so it could be a pleasant full day... if I don't peg out before the end of the day...
Best wishes and prayers for both yourself and Mrs L. I thought that this might have been the reason you were missing from the forum and have been praying daily for both of you and your family. Don't know if that has helped at all, but it's the best I can do.I thought I would write a line.

Thank you. The actual cup has no handles and Ange didn't say what he wins in his 3rd season - if he gets one. Maybe he channels Jaws - we're gonna need a bigger cabinet
