Mrs 12 is of the ColinJ persuasion and likes to stay up late and get up even later..11am usually. Today she sees the cancer Doc at 9 so she is grumblingly awake and kinda mean, poor thing. -25C this morning and I went out to make sure the car would start, which fortunately it did. I will turn it off and restart 10 minutes before we leave. It's got heated seats which are nice when it's this cold. Left the water dribbling last night so the pipes wouldn't freeze and that worked. Good to hear from you, Monkers.
Gotta go perfume and pomade myself for the Doc visit...Hasta Luego

Oh super... I was hearing distortion from the left side when watching YouTube on my laptop. It turns out that I have a distorting left ear AND a distorting left speaker! If I turn the laptop round I hear distortion from the distorted left speaker in my undistorted right ear and from the undistorted right speaker in my distorted left ear. If I use headphones, it is always the left side which distorts, whichever way round I wear them.

So, that means trying to get into the laptop to see if the speaker can be sorted out, OR monoing the signal to the right side speaker, OR casting everything to my TV, OR monoing the signal to my little bluetooth speaker, OR putting up with the distortion.

Oh, and getting round to sorting out the earwax problem which I think/hope is to blame for the left ear distortion.

I will need to have cottage pie for lunch. Should have been used yesterday.

As much as I could do with some fresh air, I can’t be bothered getting dressed. It’s a bit of a performance getting into your clothes trying only to use one hand. The men can look away now but the bra has to be fastened and then stepped into and a bit of wriggling to get it up to where it belongs! :laugh:

Forgive me Mo. I've skipped many pages. Have you had a tumble? From the bike?

When I can be bothered to wear a bra, I do it up back to front around my middle, then swish it round and pull it up 'n' over. So much easier. I started this when I busted up my shoulder the first time years ago; been doing that ever since. :laugh:

Yep, walking week past Saturday there was ice under snow and I went down hard on my wrist. Here’s the pic from a couple of days ago to save you looking back.

Bugger! Poor you. Hope that gets better very soon.

Addendum: that looks pretty serious. I note the absence of a plastercast. I think I'd ask for a second X-ray on that to be sure there's no break.
