Sweet shop in the local market, when they reopen.

Blue letter from NHS this morning with an appointment for the jab on Saturday 20th. Pain in the arse as it’s in Perth rather than local.

No , its in the arm its usually administered , unless you specified a posterior puncture ?

Taste anything like those?

No, they're a very strong taste.

No, they're a very strong taste.

Unsweetened?

It's amazing really. What ive done at home in a few hours took Brian Wilson weeks to do in the mid 60's. Not only that, I can send it instantly and without any loss of quality to anyone on the planet with a halfway decent internet connection. Amazing times.

True, but by coincidence I was watching a Rick Beato video earlier which touched on that subject, and I can see what he was getting at... Sometimes perfect is too perfect! (It is well worth watching a selection of Rick Beato's videos on YouTube - he really knows his stuff!)

Ambulance on the way for MrsD.
Her temperature is 37.9 and he says her heart thinks its running a constant marathon.
My temperature is 37.5 and my heart rate is also "cause for concern" but my body is coping better. He wants me to take paracetamol and see if that brings mine down but Sues can't wait
Like we have been saying for over 6 months.... he says its Long Covid.
They have no cure but need to get heart and temperature sorted.

Hope all turns out OK , best wishes

Along with everyone else I'll be thinking of you both. Take care and look for the positives. Something is being done, it should have been sooner but it's happening now.

At the weekend I was reading about Long Covid and setting up specialist clinics to help. These are the ones in the northwest. Try to get on the case.

1. Liverpool University Foundation Hospital Trust
2. Manchester Foundation Trust (Manchester Royal Infirmary, Wythenshawe Hospital)
3. North Care Alliance (Salford Royal Foundation Trust, Royal Oldham Hospital)
4. North Manchester General
5. Tameside and Glossop Integrated Trust
6. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust
7. Wrightington Wigan and Leigh Foundation Trust
8. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust
9. Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust
10. North Cumbria Integrated Care Foundation Trust

Well done Sir. I don't think my Doctor is aware of that

Sh*t nights sleep......to be expected.
After the ambulance left I thought "right, 2 choices. Sit there feeling sorry or do some jobs".
I got stuck into laundry. All washed by 2130 and I went to bed. Fell asleep but was up folding laundry at 0330.
Lets see what the day brings.

Did they take her in Dave? Hope you get some good news later

We are getting one final taste of winter I think. To be really cold with rain/sleet then thankfully it is looking much better from tomorrow for several days

Yes Mo.
The paramedic checked her temperature and heart rate then immediately summoned the ambulance......I guess about 1600 but all yesterday is a blur.
Apparently the hospital Doctor is phoning me this morning.

I have risen!

Dlick and Collect day for the shopping.

Good morning folks,
A bit grey and damp out there. Yesterday afternoon saw a hailstorm of biblical proportions, it came and went in just a few minutes to be followed by an eerie calm.

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Yay? It's Fish Friday yet again!
Bit of a quandary today. Do I get my f&c from the Pilton Fryer, which involves a drive into Barnstaple - or do I walk down to the village and go to South 16 which has reopened this week?
The Pilton Fryer is very good and might just win out.

Good morning all fellow retirees.

Cloudy and windy outside today.💨💨 Rain forecast for later

Domestics, dog walking, a bimble to the local grocers for some fresh produce and the cycling on the telly box is the order of the day.
Another day in paradise

 

[welsh dragon]

Morning. A horrible night here weather wise. High winds and bursts of heavy rain.

Shopping day today for us.

Hope all is well with Mrs D Dave.

Stay safe folks.
