Fingers crossed @Annb that it does the trick.6.4 at 03.45. Just took my first dose of medicine prescribed yesterday. Horrible cherry flavour and lots of things in it I wouldn't normally touch with a barge-pole. However, needs must. Just having a cup of coffee to take the taste away. We'll see what effect it has. It's an anti-fungal - just to see if there is any fungal infection hanging around - wouldn't know, never had such a thing in the past so wouldn't recognise it now.
I remember those adapters that you put into the light socket....you ran quite a bit from it including an electric fire...I got into a conversation with Neil about some electrical subject - can't remember what the question was - which of course, led to a long lecture about electronics and safety. He surprised me by bringing along for me to see, a selection of his electrical archive (aka hoard) of sockets and adaptors, including some European ones to show me the difference between UK standards over the years and European ones, digressing a bit into US practice and regulations. He even had one of those old adaptors that we used to put into light sockets so that you could have power as well as light in a room. I remember my brother having one of those in his bedroom in the 50's. Neil has a habit of quoting which number regulation applies to which equipment and situation which is totally wasted on me, but he seems to know what he's talking about. Just as well one of us does.
Poor Neil had to take me to see the GP yesterday and had to push me in my chair to the consulting room. I had a bit of a smile to myself when the doctor assumed that Neil was my husband! That used to happen when people saw me, as a teenager, walking with my Dad. He was assumed to be my boyfriend. Used to tickle him no end. Neil very rarely gives anything away but I can't think he would be pleased to be thought to be the spouse of a 78 year old.

Chunky Marmalade needed rescuing from Midnight last night. His eyes look to me for help. He won't fight Midnight because his goal is to be a house cat, and he stands no chance if he gets in a fight with the resident cat. Midnight doesn't want to share, but bit by bit he has found himself sharing opposite ends of the couch with ginger cat Merlin, sharing his food bowl with black cat Amy, sharing opposite ends of the swing in daytime with Chunky Marmalade, and opposite ends of the swing at nighttime with black & white cat Jade. The only one I can handle is Midnight, and he can get moody. Merlin I can pat on the head but not pick up.The other 3 say no stroking or pickin up...
The magpie has figured out how to hang from the bird feeders, and takes big chunks of fatballs back for his babies.
And I am trying to tidy up my garden with a spade and find missing things...that the badger (I assume) has buried...something has a fetish for burying my ornaments...
Time for a cuppa I think...
Have your best day...

Thank you very much IanThank you for sharing the creative. Amazing for 10 seconds and only 1 line.
My FBG Wednesday, 4.7 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.Thanks Ian. New (to me) GP but helpful and didn't tell me it was my nerves. Checked BP and it is at an all-time-low (for me) of 120/55. Don't think it's been that low in 60 years. Heart and lungs sound fine. Congratulated me on my BG control - actually in the non-diabetic range now, he tells me. Well, I knew that was likely but nice to know. Blood test last week showed nothing out of the ordinary but he thinks that it has to be some kind of infection - maybe kidney, maybe liver, maybe still UTI so more tests needed. No more antibiotics at present though - the last 3 lots didn't do any good, so no point in making things worse.
By the time we got home my stomach was sore but I felt it could handle something. It felt as though it could cope with a tiny orange (about 11/2 inch diameter, quite sharp, very nice). It hurt when it hit my tum, but it stayed put. Good start.
Cheery, is the expression used here on the islands. Definitely not cheerio. But, each to his own.
Me too.I remember those adapters that you put into the light socket....you ran quite a bit from it including an electric fire...
The funny is for you having a smile for poor Neil as he wheeled you into the doctor's office...
Thanks IanMorning all on another day with the prospect of 23C in the deep, deep blue Eatanswill heartlands for vote early, vote often day episode one. @JohnEGreen I hope all goes well today. @Annb I hope leg day goes well. bandaging not the gym I guess. I hope Neal can persuade the powers that be to change the location to nearer home. @Krystyna23040 good news on a more leisurely Thursday. @gennepher thank you for sharing another example of your amazing skill with those quick sketches. Remember to do your duty and save our Rishi or goodness knows who the backwoodsmen will foist upon us even for a few months. The Dark Lord returns?? Be afraid, be very afraid.

Creative. Sat having my usual cuppa and a rest between shops. And along comes this puffa coat apparition...I did not see her approach, I was looking the other direction. But iPad was at the ready, so a one line squiggle...it is easier drawing these big rather than on my little phone screen. Her legs were slim and bare, except for tattoos. But the question is, did she have a very large upper body, or did she just love an extra extra extra large puffa coat? We shall never know...
I missed a photo of the magpie just now hanging on the bird feeder. I was pouring a cuppa from my flask. And so I get my phone all ready for his return, he usually comes back immediately. But 5 minutes later my hand cannot hold my phone camera any more...
Time for another cuppa...
Have your best day...
