Today's meals will involve sausages.

The Eagle has landed.

Overlooking Seaton.
Had lunch in the Kingfisher Inn which is just down the road.

Another update
they want me to go for a chest X-ray now, at lest they are trying

Update
They have no idea what is wrong with me, I have to do stool and urine test again and maybe CT scan later looking for bowel cancer.
As they said they don't know what's wrong so they are just ticking boxes what it could be.
I've lost another kilo and looking in the mirror it looks like my birthday suit is two sizes to big.
I'm tired now so I bettter stop writing.

Fingers crossed for you.

After more than 20 years of almost daily use one of the end elements in our Dualit toaster has packed up and so one slice is only being toasted on the one side. A quick look at the Dualit website shows that replacing the element would cost £7.80. I am planning to splash the cash and replace all three.

Good afternoon all.
I am currently sat in the garden and I am watching a spider re- build its web between some branches of a camellia and a Spirea plant . It's quite fascinating to watch.

You do understand you a re being wildly extravagant?

Just sat outside Lidl eating an egg sandwich for lunch, it has been a busy day, which is good for my mental state.

Owdo there
At least they're ticking off what it isn't.
"Poo Sticks" isn't the nicest thing going, but it does beat taking a full days sample set into the doctors/hospital. Especially if someone enquiries as to what's in the bag. Simple, honest answers don't work too well these days.

Here's to finding out what your problem is.

No consolation but after 12 nights they sent me home and I am not much wiser. I sleep all night and half the day. Still struggle to eat.
Wish you the best Mr NN.

Back home.

Replaced some planks on the reception class playhouse and painted it, and repaired 3 x holes in the rubberised playground surface by filling them with liquid polyurethane moulding rubber. The end result left me feeling very smug and self satisfied.

Don't forget to file a declaration of interest!

Hope they get to the end of it and put your mind at ease. Hang in there !

All the best from me too
I've just got back from the hospital from my X-ray, results take week to 10 days so just a waiting game

Good afternoon. It is raining here. I'll catch up the thread later but right now I have quiet time and a brew.

Small person is here. Today we have made cottage pie with Nana, painted, coloured, played snakes and ladders, done two jigsaws, been for a walk and bounced for 40 minutes on a neighbour's trampoline.

She likes coming to see Nana and Granddad!! 🤔

Tonight Granddad is going to watch the mighty Rovers play Stockport County. This will be my first visit to Edgeley Park. My good friend and neighbour is a County season ticket holder. We are going together. County play in blue. This means Rovers will be in the new away kit..........a rather fetching shade of pink!!!! 😮
