most of the carers are lovely, and we were OK until the autumn when it all seemed to deteriorate and we had no idea when we'd get a carer. Pay the minimum possible and work them to death seems to be the way these days, I don't blame people wanting to leave.
Merry Xmas to you and your family.

Thanks dave r:hello::hello:

We've got some large 'baubles' on our Christmas Tree that's in the front garden. A few 'blew' off in the week, so I adjusted the wires to stop them coming off. Had to rescue two from across the road.

Just coming up the cul-de-sac earlier, and there is one of our baubles hung from a tree, about 300 yards away. Stopped to collect it and pop it back on our tree. :laugh:

What a day sorted our meat order when i went back I'd no need to say anything got spotted and greeted with Mr... here you are is this one ok ? Pay's to be a regular customer :smile:
Then back in town this afternoon dentist appointment got a cancellation 1st since lockdown. All clear just a few none urgent running repairs due to lockdown. All booked in for next week no problem.
As i was in town called in for a few last minute Christmas veg. Served by someone I use to work with at Yough Offering nothing wrong with working on tills in anyway. Just sad to see one more restorative justice practitioner gone due to cuts :sad:

Now feel like a nap Apple watch has it i've walked over 15 miles today.

yes try a g and t or a whisky i would suggest with a little bit of ice,if you can find some.
 
I don’t think the paddle steamer on L.Lomond is currently working. It is owned by a group of enthusiasts who are renovating it but as usual with such projects money is short so it is long job. Last time I saw her she was tied up at a pier at Balloch.

There was one place we went to where we could watch Salmon swim through some fish steps . From a bridge over the river to look for Salmon swimming up the river but couldn't because of the weeds . We then realized that the weeds were Salmon !

A question for @tom73 and Mrs tom73.

I have no intention of talking politics on this thread, but can I ask a question? When a member of the Army is driving an ambulance, why are they not allowed to put on the Blue lights and sirens?

I can imagine that they may not be skilled in driving an ambulance, but they would be used to driving a large vehicle, in all sorts of traffic.

Not being allowed to put on the "Blues and twos" would mean that drivers would not know they had an ambulance behind them, or in on-coming traffic. When I hear the sirens it gives me time to think about moving off the road safely and/or to expect an emergency services vehicle on "my" side of the road.

Also one category they are not going to call out an ambulance for is ladies in late stages of labour.
In the extremely unlikely event that I am asked to take a pregnant lady to hospital, do we go straight to the Maternity Unit rather than A & E.

Lovely luncheon of two slices of toast, one with salami, one with sliced avocado, then an apple, a tangerine and two :cuppa:

Then had a busy afternoon. Stocked up the wood bins in the house, hung up the laundry, made a big pot of soup, made some Filet Americain, finished doing the Xmas decs and groomed the cats.

Just going to feed them, and then I'll settle down to watch SPOTY.

I stopped wearing one when I started working with rotating machinery and never started again. My phone goes off several times a day to remind me of what I ought to be doing though.

That's why, like may of my colleagues in the teleprinter workshops, the cuffs of my dustcoat were ragged.

Same reason why I never wore finger rings and while I did wear a tie as was expected in those days it was firmly tucked into my shirt rather than dangling loose when working near moving machinery.

After seeing what happened to someone who wore a ring, the only time I wore one was when I wasn't working. I've never got used to wearing one since.
