What are you all up to

Busy day getting everything back into the van after its trip to the dealers. OH was busy washing the van and both cars, quite a mild day at 10c in the shade and 15c in the sun  

Washing machine been busy too as with the sun out its free leckie from the solar panels.

While sorting out clothes to go in the van I took the opportunity to clear a fair few things to charity bags, I must be feeling better its the most work I've done since before we went on the cruise.

Only until the anaesthetic wears off.

Outside in the garden this morning, a bit drizzly but mild enough to get cracking on a few things. I'm feeling better too TG, the bug I had was short lived but drained me of energy. 

What you need is a 4x4

Likewise brue, I've not slept so much for years, I'm usually a poor sleeper but for the last 3 weeks I've slept until 09.30 and even 10.00 one morning, OH has been the same, he's even fell asleep reading the paper. 

Glad you're feeling better.

Glad to hear that folks are feeling better .  And someone who's had a tooth out says little pain , hopefully that'll continue.

Yet another grey day here in Essex not as forecast, so washing had to be tumbled, as we had drizzle - that definitely wasn't on forecast.

Met an ex-colleague for lunch after having my haircut.   Then shopped for elderly aunt who has been poorly but didn't let anyone know .  Wouldn't call GP until someone visited on Friday and insisted sitting with her until GP called back.  Prescribed without a visit . Same person spoke to her yesterday and called 111, told patient had to phone, she did.  6 hour wait for doctor, who came at 10pm and said hospital, she's very chesty and had pleurisy this time last year.  Ambulance 3.30am - discharged 8am with antibiotics. Looks poorly but really if she'd seen a GP a week ago this could have been avoided.  So depressed, so stubborn .

Rant over.

Hopefully the new year will have some good news before long, another elderly aunt has had massive stroke not expected to recover/survive - only a matter or time.

No trips in the motorhome even thought about 

A trip to the tip this morning, to get rid of the old radiator and a load of cardboard.......and bottles.

Called at the local pet store on the way back for bird food and duck corn.

This afternoon, a trip to B&Q to check prices then to Wickes for some 8' x2' sheets of ply for the kitchen floor (good old XC90 - can fit anything in there!), prior to tiling. Wickes always seem to be cheaper for most things.

I  use  double  space  on  words  and  normally  use 

'LineFeed'  ( a k a  'enter' )  where  I  think the  end  of  line 

best  fits    But  I  have  to  admit  its  a  habit  I  have  from 

filing  my  photographic  slides  !!  Much  to  the  disgust  of  one

of  our  friends  on  here,{ No Names  --  No  Packdrill    }  but 

at  least  I've  stopped  using  Bold,  Italics  &  Underlining   !

Gosh Bakers hope both your Aunties recover, its very difficult trying to help some of the elderly as they don't like to 'bother' a doctor. Here's hoping the antibiotics do the trick. 

How's the knitting coming on?

Fair enough Brian.  Glad you don't use bold, italics and underline as a matter of course though.  I always think they are better kept for special occasions.
