Oh I am exhausted just reading about all this activity - but good on you for filling your time with interesting projects. I think that I may have been tempted to spend several hours out on the road ensuring that my bike was now fully functional. Rock and Roll.Yo. my morning Buddies.
MIA i am afraid for a few days, not much to report BG wise.
high 5's low 6's..all good in da hood.
excuses..?
woke up monday fully intent on using my new found free time in a productive fashion..
so set too with the purchase of paints brushes and all the paraphernalia of home decorating
(most i found in tool cupboard well out of date and gone off )
started in kitchen...(ongoing)
only one window in kitchen, it's in it's own alcove,
decided it needed a shelf, bring it back into the room, so to speak.
and it's rather a gloomy window, sadly, so not allowing as much light in as i would like.
SO had an old broken mirror, got my arty head on, so decided to make a mosaic of Mirror and Beach stones from our overseas tours for the side of the window..to reflect as much light back in as possible.
repainted alcove. walls and windows...MUCH Brighter now..
madam has hung up, a few trinkets, wind chimes, i added in two fake plants (easy care) to her Lord Shiva statuette on shelf, and a Buddha figure head above window, and we seem to have gone all 'Hippy'..
Then onto bathroom, ugly pipes on display, now covered and painted,
new units sourced and fitted...bathroom now much more pleasant to look at.
then a little bit in the front room, shelving sorted & painted.
Stephs bedroom, the end of stephs clear out and a re arranging of the bed etc,
then off to dump to throw out/recycle all the assorted junk that all that resulted in.
phew...:***:
oh, and Motorcycle started playing up..electrics, ( THE Dark arts if ever there was one )
got time to fix that yesterday.
AND car has a slow puncture, tyre good, going with the old faithful, puncture safe., this afternoon.
( used on bike over many years, not had a single puncture since.
Got 3 in one year before....(bike, into the dead space at side of roads when filtering to front in cities, does it. )
even had time for my NHS cbt therapy training day (1 of 6)..seems ok.
so all in, not a bad weeks work...ached like crazy yesterday, all the bending and lifting, i suspect, just not used to it.
so an early night, and a looong lay in this morning...refreshed, fed and ready to Rock N Roll.
Hope all are ok today.
Sounds a good idea.glad your eye clinic went well - shall we remind you in Dec not to stress?
hope your eye feels OK this morning and isn't too sore and gritty.Hi well I survived. It wasnt as straightforward as previously for some reason. Felt very lightheaded in the revovery area and needed to be reviewed due to bleeding and pain. Was glad OH was with me. Once I got painkillers on board and returned home things got much better. Thanks for all the good wishes, they all helped!
We are rehearsing with our Folk Group Tuesday afternoon, see you there.Tonight I got out my guitar and played it for the first time in weeks, maybe even months.
Can we make it a trio, Banjo, Mandolin, bass recorder?I'm the same with my piano! We could do a virtual duet.
Thank you.(and hello to Dennis!)
My phone is a s5 I think and although it’s an IPhone it’s sort of small and pocket size great for carrying ( in the pocket lol ) but not the best for messaging on forums
Always impressed with your tanacity and successful efforts to understand it, brilliant!It is hard how to gauge all this isn’t it. And how to cater for it. And what is the best course of action for me/ourselves?
Hug for the post eye treatment torment but good call on swerving the flu jab today. @OldButBold glad you are feeling more upbeat and yesterday's treats will be our little secret - no one else reading this. @DJC3 numbers schumbers, could easily be 5.6 or 3.2 - don't sweat the small stuff. @Muddy Cyclist have a great gig. Parts 1,2 and 3 of my day went to plan and ABs can't officially win before midday so at least 50% of the day on track.Morning All. 6.9 not surprising really after a very anxious day yesterday. Progress to report woke up without the large black floaters and the stabbing pain. Eye looks and feels punched so am leaving my eye patch on till tomo. Not really sure what went wrong yesterday other than it was very rushed. Maybe I have just turned into a big wuss! I have decided not to go for my flu jab today, will rearrange. Good luck to @ianpspurs with yours and hope you enjoy the rugby. Loving the emoticons @gennepher and @Saskia thanks for the hugging cats. Thanks for all the good wishes, still helping. Best wishes to you all. Stay well, stay safe.
Oh my goodness what terrible service to a lady on her own broken down in the middle of the night in an unknown location. Whoever they are that company has failed and if they are linked to the insurance company they should lose their contract. I always thought a tyre failure was covered by breakdown cover...you’ve got me worried now and need to check mine. Even if you werent covered they should have offered to fix it at a cost rather than leave you stranded. Hugs and hugs. Thank goodness you got home safely.Morning...worked in London last night finished relatively early had time to pop in & see a friend... heading home my wheel hit something in the road the tyre split...possibly a pot hole or a sharp stone who knows...pulled into the side of the road called my breakdown cover spoke to the most ignorant young man who stated it wasn't covered it wasn't mechanical he insisted I call my insurers...finally called the insurers spoke to an equally unhelpful young man who just put the phone down...sat in the midst of Kentish Town for four hours fortunately found a mobile company who came out...checked the wheel...changed the tyre fitted a new tyre on the spare and I was on my way...finally got home & to bed at 4am...have spoken to the insurers & the breakdown company this morning made my feelings clear they are investigating...have told them what happened last night was so bad it's a must for an honest social media review...needless to say I have re-joined the AA...woke to a not surprising 6.8.
@DJC3 numbers schumbers, could easily be 5.6 or 3.2 - don't sweat the small stuff. .
My under 65s jab seems fine. Julie had the over 65 jab plus pneumonia jab. Pointless supporting Ireland now so I'll give it up for music and a free electric band.You’re right of course, but easier said than done sometimes.
Hope the flu jab is painless, mine was and no aches and pains afterwards thankfully.
