How can you not like mushrooms.

Same way she does not like mince pies, walnuts, cider, semolina, tea, tomatoes... (and a big list of other stuff that I have forgotten ) - be fussy!

Actually p*ss up and brewery don't come near it.
My daughter fought her way in to visit her Mum.....only to find on the notes is DO NOT RESUSCITATE!!! She in on the war path as I type**.

My lovely daughter can be quite bolshi.
The hospital say absolutely no visitors.
She has been online, searching, and the latest guidelines say yes, in low Covid areas visitors can be allowed.
She has printed this off in duplicate and is now on the way to the hospital.
Lovely girl but I would not like to cross her
**she didn't tell me yesterday as my head was really in the shed.

Ain't there some sort of row going on about putting DNR on patients they shouldn't.

I have 2 prescriptions...one I inject biweekly and another I must take orally daily. My insurance has a 3 month scheme, so the injection one calls me and arranges a delivery in a styrofoam box so it must be kept at refrigerator temps. The other is filled at the grocery store as chain groceries all have a pharmacy. They send me a text when ready without any action on my part and I pick it up. I have plastic boxes that hold my pill and about 6 supplements daily and that is how I know what day it is.
The trash guys came today and I will check the alley. The snow is drifted fairly deepbehind the gate.
Went out and saw they plowed the alley and like they do, pushed the snow up against the fence. It was -13C last night so all that refroze and a pickaxe was needed to bust it up enough to shovel. Good about the freezing. Maybe it will slow down the thaw enough to avoid a lot of flooding.
Be safe and well.

There is. Happening way too much and without the families Input or agreements

I saw it on the news earlier. It has been done hundreds of times without consulting the patients or their families!

Just been to pick the car up from its valet. Nice and clean and shiny inside and out now. Must make more effort myself to keep it looking decent. Can't be bothered walking now so I will just have a cuppa and potter on the computer until tea time. Another night of crap telly I see. Will have to be a Lewis repeat I think.

I've been down the doctors with my Good Lady this afternoon, she's finally had her steroid injection in the knee, she had to wait because they wouldn't do it straight after her virus jab, getting her out the house in the wheelchair is always entertaining, I need to organize some wheelchair ramps, the worse bit is the ninety degree turn to get her out the door. The surgery is being used as a vaccination centre and it was interesting watching them whilst we were waiting, very well organized, bringing them in in groups of nine they came in were seated and barely had time to fill in the form before they were in, injected and out to the waiting area out the back and on their way.

Our daughter's car needs a new front coil spring on her car so she went for a quote this afternoon. I went with her and asked for a quote on my Renault Captur for renewing cambelt and water pump.
Renault dealer: £650
Local Renault specialist independent garage in North Wales: £350
Daughter's local garage in Devon: £493.
As I am going home next Wednesday, my local Renault independent will be doing it. It certainly does pay to shop around.
Our daughter still wants to buy my Renault so I just want to make sure everything is ok and saves her the expense.

I never use main dealers for servicing. They are a rip off. We are lucky we have a few decent local garages.

We have one garage here run by a whizz kid who was in the oil industry. Very slick and all staff in same uniform boiler suits. He is fairly new but was a rally buff and seems very efficient and not expensive. My son employed his brother in Teneriffe for a while so mebbe that helps my bills.
The next one is 10 miles away and another 21 miles. Next is 60 miles and is the only recovery garage to take cars back to mainland so if I have a malfunction the AA will send somebody from 60 miles away.
