DS just phoned to say he will be popping in, shame really as I am going to a tea party at our village hall so he will not be able to stay long. Gardener just left he planted some hardy geraniums for me, not good in this heat, I shall have to keep an eye on them, I am sure H will be pleased to water them for me.

Oma, your GS loves you both and likes to keep an eye on you.

Good afternoon ladies. Late check in for me today as not long after little E was collected I went to my 11 am aqua class. Then something to pick up from M&S, home for lunch, shower etc, but here I am now

I hope it's not too hot when you are grass cutting Nan2. It's so much warmer than yesterday!

Enjoy the tea party Plant.

Oma, I agree with Plant, your GS loves you both and likes spending time with you!

Daisy, I hope all went smoothly with the appointment, and travelling to and from.

OH is playing golf. This evening we are eating out. It is DD2's FIL's 80th birthday this weekend and some of us are going to an Indian restaurant with him tonight.
GS1 was to spend the day here today, but last night DD said she wouldn't bring him as he has had a really bad cold or virus all week. She was worried about passing it to either OH or DD3, which we all appreciate. A shame not to see him but we will catch up again soon I'm sure.

Hallo everyone, it has been far too hot for me. Even warmer next week whilst I am away!

I still have the blocked sinus, if that is what it is, I have a few more days medicine then see what the specialist says.

I hope that you all enjoy the Indian meal this evening Gem, one of my DS1 and DIL favourites when they are in the UK, and you the pub meal Nanto, also a very keen favourite of theirs!

My neighbour put my cycle carrier on my car this morning, everything works!

GD1 will be home tomorrow from Malta, she has loved it all!

Daisy, I hope that all went well at the hospital!

Oma, I saw that you had got the medicine, when do you get the results of your heart scan?

I will be pleased when this Lidl is open, I can't get used to the other one at all, I am not the only one! It will be open whist I am away, I think on Thursday.

Plant
A shame DS decided to visit today , but even seeing him for a short while will be lovely ,
Hope you enjoyed the tea party.

Gem
We like a good Indians, enjoy and I hope the birthday boy has a lovely night ,
Sensible of your DD to keep GS away when he has a cold , no point in taking chances is it.

Nanto
Did you have a nice meal.
Always nicer when someone else has cooked it and you don't have to do the dishes after😁

Lizzie
I hope your sinuses don't spoil your trip away ,
The time in Malta for your GD has passed quickly hasn't it,
It will be good to see her though.

You will certainly be pleased to have the Lidl opened ,
I'm not sure how long the results will take, they don't hurry themselves even though it's all through computers now,

Hasn't it been lovely to have doors and windows open today,
We haven't really done much this afternoon just rested really,

We have booked to go to Hamburg in Germany for 5 days late November,
It will be strange going and not seeing Aunty Ingrid ,
We might meet up with the cousins while we are there .
Booked into a hotel right in the centre.

Hello everybody.

They were very short staffed at the hospital and most of the nurses were borrowed from other wards. They know what they're doing, but aren't so familiar with the record keeping on the laptops, don't know where things are or quite how the system runs. My injection and another patient's hadn't arrived so we had to wait for that. The meds to take home took ages to check, and I asked where one of them was. I said it was probably in the fridge, and it was.

I haven't counted how many traffic lights there are between us and the hospital but every single one (apart from a pedestrian crossing one) was on red all the way there, and all the way back. We were beginning to feel we were in a parallel universe. We didn't get home until 12 o'clock, after going out at 7.30.

I felt totally exhausted after everything, and slept on and off all afternoon.

It's been an exhausting day, and I'm off for an early night, hopefully to sleep and get ready for doing it all again tomorrow for OH's eye injection - another 7.30 start.

I hope to catch up with everyone tomorrow.
