Good afternoon everyone.
5.6 this a.m.
Mrs Miggins had a fall yesterday in town. Compacted fracture to right wrist with three breaks. Local walk in was fabulous - X-ray, manipulation on some sexy drugs, temp pot, 2nd X-ray and all done within 2 hours. Follow up on Monday. I have been promoted to designated driver.
Even more tragic, I have a cold. A box of tissues an hour sort of cold with loads of extras thrown in for good measure.
We became great grandparents today - now there’s a thing.

Congratulations on becoming great grandparents @dunelm
I am sorry to hear about Mrs. Miggins... I hope she's not in too much pain or in any pain....
Oh dear about the cold... e-hugs for all...

Hugs back @gennepher.

First of all, congratulations on your recent new arrival. It is one of my greatest wishes to be a great grandad at some point.
Second, how is Mrs Higgins now? Hoping the pain meds do the trick.
Third, hope the cold doesn't turn nasty. Some of grandma's (Beverly Hillbillies) cold elixir, wouldn't go amiss.
Be well my friend.
Best wishes.

Thank you @Lamont D.
Mrs Miggins reports painful but manageable but the itching is not pleasant so an antihistamine has been deployed.
Cold has kicked off my emphysema but with the help of several distilleries is being managed tolerably well.

Fell asleep a few hours ago.....so used the laboscope app to make a kaleidoscope. I did not have time to find a painting in my sketchbook,I have used Laboscope on my new grey velvety blanket, which is lovely and comfortable....

The place is still a mess with all the reorganising and tidying up,,, would've been easy as I left everything as it was...

The wooden floor is drying out. The plumber was right that this has been leaking for a very long time.. so the flooring that is affected is underneath the kitchen counter... the rest of the flooring looks okay and feels okay but still needs drying out... the man who laid the flooring originally, 20 odd years ago, was given the instruction to do the flooring right up to the wall edge and finish it off in case I ever needed taking the washing machine out.... but he did not do that and I did not see that he had not done that because he had pushed the washing machine back in... by the time I came back in the kitchen.

And so because he did not finish off the flooring properly and left it unfinished, and there was still the concrete underneath exposed, it means that the water leak has gone through the ends of the flooring because they were not glued and those are the vulnerable bits...

I think some wood hardener along those bits, would probably work... and keep the flooring going at least as long as I'm alive!!!

It is now just before midnight, and I only just woke up in time to do this kaleidoscope for today...

Midnight is cross with me because I would not let him go out to play with his cat friend who is sitting outside now... just earlier there was a young male badger wandering round outside my glass door to the garden. He did look quite a handsome badger and he didn't look at me....

I have started scattering small pieces of cloth soaked in white vinegar, try and deter the badger or badgers from playing and destroying the items in my garden... I have been doing this for a few weeks now and so far it's stopped them trying to empty the bins because I put these white vinegar cloths, over pretty much everything out there. Someone gave me the idea. I did not find it on the Internet and I don't know if it is a thing that is recommended, but I was told by this person the strong smell of white vinegar keeps the badger/s off things. So far which has worked, but it does need all the cloths needing re-soaking nightly...

My eyes are closing. I better post this before I go to sleep....

Good night

Sweet dreams

Interesting architectural kaleidoscope. All the best with drying that floor and the vinegar treatment.

Thank you @gennepher. Mrs Miggins reports pain is tolerable but the itching is quite annoying.
As to having a cold - well, that’s just an annoyance.
 
Good morning everyone on what I hope will be a nice sunny day for collecting some vitamin D even though it’s not a vitamin but more like a steroid hormone.
6.2 this a.m. oh dear!
I must dust off my drivers uniform and shine the peak on my drivers cap to be ready in a frisson for the lady of the house.
I hope that your Sunday is a good one. I shall start by making koffy and then a batch of soup into which I can add a variety of ‘extras’ over the next few day.
