I keep falling asleep! Any little chore I do does me in. Ditto, I hope you get in the garden today. It always seems very therapeutic for you Good luck with the Specsavers trip. My mum is terrified of 'losing her legs'. She's insisted she's allowed back in the lounge just so she gets some walking. M, H does all the online shopping. I can't get my head around it at all. We were getting items for the three of us whilst both feeling , so it was a recipe for disaster! Any birthday plans for next weekend, if you're well enough? I'm at the hairdresser's first thing. She's doubling me up with Rainbow with a slight crossover so that should be fun. Then hopefully off to London to see Howie. It will be a whole month since I have seen him! I'm planning on Camden Market on the Sunday and staying over a second night if all goes well. PK, Rainbow and I will be visiting when you are up for it and be willing helpers so I hope the right place turns up. DeeDee, you MUST go to LK this year. Teebs, hope you got your run out in the car. Did you get to the pub today Rainbow?

I was wondering the same as you Ditto. Good on MommaPluto's efforts to retain some mobility. Even very short walks help, I know from personal experience.
Pluto, it would be really kind of you and Rainbow to help me out with the move when I do manage to find somewhere, not to mention incredibly helpful! All the more incentive to try to find something in West Sussex.
Are you taking anything to help ease your cough? It must be getting to be quite exhausting.
Rainbow, hope you are successfully girded 😁 D has to do the same.
We have had fog most of the day! Very unusual.

Mum has been confined to her room because of her laryngitis, so no daily walk to the lounge and the dining room.

Because of fears of passing it on to other residents?

I had a really good night with no coughing but have been coughing ever since.
How is your knee Rainbow?
PK I think mum was kept in her room to contain any spread, especially with coughing.

Hi Pluto. Knee is aching but trying to ignore it. Glad you had a better night. Are you going back to the GP to get signed off?

Seems like things are on the up, Pluto, but don't overdo it!
But shame about the ouchy knee Rainbow. It obviously doesn't care whether the weather, ha!, is warm or cold.
It's 16° and sunny here today, very pleasant indeed. Much more like May than February ☀️😺
Goodness me, the manager has just been in bearing a ginormo telly and packed away my dinky one. It's a bit overwhelming at the moment after months with the small one but I am sure I'll adapt quickly 😁

Hey! Busy Monday, B started getting the kitchen ceiling ready for the new tiles, and I was his gofer, lol! Going to work on it a little each day...there’s a lot of up and down and it tired him out. He has help coming Saturday, and wants to have all the prep work done. We had an extra Gabe visit today which was really nice! PK, where did the bigger come from?? That’s really a bonus for you, hope there’s some good programs on for you to enjoy, especially if there’s a nice dessert to eat while you watch! How cool would it be to live close enough for visits from P and R?? Pluto, keep fighting that flu off! You really need that weekend with Howie! Rainbow, your doctor never recommended an imaging of your knee to see if the meniscus is torn? Or did you have that done already? My memory is old! 🤦♀️ Ditto, is H diabetic, too? Hugs for your mom, it’s not easy accepting big life changes like that. Hope the weather stays nice so you can check things in the garden, sun will make you feel better! Lol, we literally turned our AC off, and turned the heaters on, in yet another crazy weather change. Although I’m thinking you all are getting some crazy weather patterns, too! Big weekend, lots of parades before Mardi Gras next Tuesday! Mindy and her gang, and little sis and hers are all going away from Saturday to Wednesday...one to Texas and the other to Gatlinburg! Teebs and DeeDee, hope you’re doing ok, and post soon! Take care all...hugs!

morning The world's weather has certainly gone crazy I was happily watching Call the midwife on catch up this morning when the power went off. When l investigated there was water pouring through the ceiling by the kitchen door. I stupidly switched the kitchen light on without thinking and got a shock from it. Waiting in for an emergency plumber now. No water and no power Hope everyone else has a better start to their day....

Good Morning Rainbow not a good start to the day! Hope it gets sorted as soon as possible M,busy as ever on the house. Does Gabe like to help out? Will you be leaving the city for Mardi Gras? Lovely weather here. I might get some air later. I'm aiming to get back to work on Thursday. It's tricky to ascertain how I am without trialling myself.

All sorted now. First emergency plumber let us down but got the name of another from son in law and he just came out, a pipe connection had split but replaced now. We just need to wait for the kitchen electricals to completely dry out but everything seems to be working thank goodness. I've got a lot of wet towels to wash

Hi all ☀️ I won’t talk about the weekend, let’s just say body didn’t want to work 😡 Hope you’re feeling better Pluto and that your cough is lessening 🤗 Great about the bigger PK 😊 I’m sure you’ll get used to it 😀 Jings M more work on the house, you’ll definitely need a good rest up when it’s finished 🤗 Ditto luv its 16degrees up here the past couple of days, which has been nice but I’ve only been as far as the back door 🙄 😮😮 frilly heck Rainbow, are you okay? What a fright you must have had 😧 I really hope it’s all sorted out ASAP 🤗 Deedee you really must try to get to bed luv, even if you take your laptop with you 🤗

Hey! The morning flew by, have to stay close to B while he's working, I have to hand him tools, and ceiling tiles...obviously, very technical! But it does save him from going up and down the ladder, so it helps! Gabe had ensemble so that was good, back home just piddling on the computer! Maybe piddling isn't the best word, sounds like something else, doesn't it!? Teebs, sorry you had a bad weekend, glad to see you posting! Ditto, reading in bed in a real book is better than reading on a kindle/ebook cos the light on the ebook is supposed to keep you awake. My Kindle goes to a night mode at 11, but I think it still keeps me up! Lol, you don't like soft towels...think you're in the minority there, most people are trying to get them that way! Your orchid pic on FB is really wow! Is that recent or an older one? The yellow daffodils(?) are so pretty, too! Pluto, are you going back cos your doctor says you can, and you have to then, or are you just giving it a go to see if you can? For your sake, I hope you are well enough to do that! Are H and A all better yet? And, lmao, no Gabe would not be an enthusiastic helper, but he would do it if asked, cos he's a good kid! Rainbow, at the electrical shock...those are never pleasant!! I hope everything dries out okay without any other problems! Knee any better? Deedee, you really could bring your laptop to bed with you! You could get one of those nice support pillows that surround you, and maybe even a rolling table that fits over the bed so you wouldn't have it sitting on your lap and maybe slipping. PK, lol, while I'm handing out advice... do you ever use a heating pad under your back to help with the muscle cramping? I love mine! I hope you're able to come post! Take care all...hugs!
