Good morning Just got home and feel like **** but there was a magnificent sunrise and the roads were fairly clear. Got baby sitting all day now but I need to do some shopping and see mum. The care home rang me yesterday cos mum wanted to know if I was alright as I hadn't been. So much juggling to do Nothing like a fresh cake PK. The home needs to get it's act together!

Hey! Phew, I had to read back a couple of pages, probably won’t remember half! 🤣 We had lots of fun in Nashville, it’s a beautiful city. We went to this really cool mall housed in an old auto manufacturing plant called Marathon. We did some moonshine tasting (!) and checked out the store for this show called American Pickers, lots of weird and wonderful items for sale. Then we went to that Parthenon in the city park...😎 The hockey game was so awesome, we all had such a good time even though they lost! It was a long ride home, I was in bed so early, lol! Pluto, I hope you’re feeling better! Can A go and visit your mom, too? Your weekend in London looked busy and wonderful, so many neat places you all visited! Rainbow, I hope E had a happy birthday! Love the idea of the grandkids on the sled, good times for all of you! Ditto, I hope your mom is getting around better! How was H when you visited? Did the doctor put her on meds? Teebs, hope the new boots are comfy! Are they the fluff lined kind? I love those, but it’s just not ever cold enough to get a pair...🤗 PK, I hope today is a better tea day for you! Wonder what happens to throw the service so far off?? Good thing you have snacks, but that doesn’t make up for no tea! DeeDee, hope you’re keeping warm and feeling good! Take care all, hugs!

Afternoon all. Breezy here, much warmer. The ice in the birdbath has melted. I was at the wash-house and having one of those days! Will have to do one black bag's worth again next week. Then the wheel fell off my shopping trolley, then when I got to Mum's bungalow for my breakfast I sprinkled black pepper from a new container over my scrambled eggs and the top fell off! Black mush. I should have gone back to bed there and then. P hope you feel a tad better. You need a duvet week! PK only veggies for dinner and no cake, build a barricade! I'd be starving to death. Protests must be made. Is there no way of getting out of there? I'm sooooooo hungry! We're watching a John Candy film, must be ancient as I recognise the young girl, she was in Goonies. It was his last film I think. Shame. ETA Didn't see you there Marilyn, thought you were still away. My H is on high blood pressure tablets and has six appointments lined up for various things. She's refusing most treatments, particularly stents. Mum is same ol' same ol' doesn't really move much out of her recliner apart from when we struggle to the loo. By teatime we have to use the wheelchair which is really difficult indoors. I'm going to one appt with her tomorrow.

Good morning
Still feeling rough. I will get dressed later though. Head is still banging but nose is drying out and I can taste food.
M I've seen American Pickers on a cable channel over here. What a lovely family trip to Nashville! We did have fun on Saturday though I wasn't 100% and was bad by the evening.
Just had Johovas call round with a child. I just got a leaflet as I was in dressing gown and grotty but I wanted to ask why the child wasn't in school as he looked at least 8.
Ditto, sorry about your disasters yesterday.
Hope granny day is going well Rainbow

The slipper boots sound lovely Teebs. Unfortunately I can only wear mine when it's very very cold. I'm forever over heating it seems That was a very good 'This time Next Year' with Davina. Those people lost an awful lot of weight and made amazing health changes. I feel quite inspired. Still bunged up and snuffly though.

Hey! Sorry you're still poorly, Pluto! I hope you can fight it off! Do you usually get a flu shot? Are A and H sick, too? Rainbow, that knee just won't leave you alone! I hope it's better, and that you had a good granny day with A! Teebs, hope the rainy day ended up better than it started! Not cold enough for sleet or snow? That's a good thing! Ditto, how did the appointment with H go? I love old John Candy movies, he was so funny! I think my fav is still the one with Steve Martin, can't remember the name, but like Cars and trains...where they end up travelling together! PK, hope the situation is better for you, sounds like a big mess up all around! Ensemble day, then had to bring Gabe back to school so he could play with the school band at a basketball game. It's one of the few mandatory things he has for band. We stopped at a nice little Italian pizzeria on the way home! Mindy will get Gabe later! Take care all...hugs!

Good morning I'm up early testing the waters with a view to going in to work. If I do I will finish at 3.00 when our service delivery day ends and cancel appointments. Still feel a bit full of it to be honest. M, I don't bother with a flu jab. I usually have just one heavy head cold a year that lays me up for a few days only so don't feel the need. Antonia has had a runny nose for a while and her temperature goes up and down. She picks up germs from nursery. She doesn't eat much apart from fruit so may have low immune. H is suffering a lot with sinus problems and has had a cold on top of that. I was up a bit late because I am reading a really, really good book, 'The Keeper of Lost THings' by Ruth Hogan. Such a charming and feelgood story. I can't put it down but at the same time want to saviour it and not finish reading it too soon. Anyone read it? I highly recommend it. Gabe is always so busy M but that's good at his age and you can help out and get to see more of him

Hello. I have been MIA since Saturday because I had an accident, courtesy of a carer. I was using the standing aid in the morning which requires two people. One of them trussed me up in the sling just fine, the other one used the wrong loop and it and I fell off the machine. My worst leg was bent back under me and the pain was excruciating, My hands clenched into fists and I joined Rainbow in the wonky knee club. Hands now starting to improve but knee still very painful

Evening gels 😃
Boy I’m stuffed, I really need to use a smaller dinner plate 🙄 but it was delicious even if I say so myself 😋
Did you go into work Pluto? I really hope you’re feeling less rough 🤗 Davinas programme was quite good, I think I’ve only ever seen one episode before, but mum likes it so we’ll probably watch the rest of the series 😀
How’s your knee holding up Rainbow? ooops sorry about the pun 🤭.
No snow yet M, hopefully we’ll avoid it this year 🤞 jings Gabe is a busy boy with the band 🙂
ETA; 😵 oh dear god PK! That is shocking, I can’t imagine how painful that was, I’m totally gobsmacked 😶

PK that sounds horrendous I hope she was apologetic and helpful with getting you pain relief. It's steps forward then falls backwards for you I did go to work as it was a service delivery day but I left at lunchtime. I had a good rest and finished my book. It was happy and sad at the end. I need to eat smaller portions too. It's very wet here.

OMG PK! That's awful! Thank goodness you didn't break anything I didn't go to the team day. Went into the office and my knee was hurting just sitting at the desk so l cancelled my visit and worked from home instead, quite a productive day What were you eating Teebs. I cooked a low cal chicken curry S had a flat tyre but couldn't get his tyre off so has borrowed my car. He's having a new tyre fitted on Friday so we'll have to share tomorrow
