Good Morning Saturday, 15th March 2025

Good morning one and all on this hot weekend - another day in the mid 30s for me with a minimum of 21° overnight so hardly any chance to cool off

My back is improving but like @OldGreyFox with his knee I am confining myself to barracks in order to give it a chance to improve.

In my attempt to fill the morning took some photos for a camcorder show and tell.

Rang all my kids this morning to pass the time. Had to remind the youngest that I was visiting him in Darwin in May - he had forgotten!

Just pottering about for me today, rather belatedly decided to wash my cardigan but decided that hand washing might be foolish so threw it in the machine with my dirty washing and a towel added to make a worthwhile load, with the current heatwave it should all dry in an hour or so.

Will probably watch some Netflix this arvo as part of my taking it easy scheme.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Take care…

Hi
Good morning all.
The sun is shining outside and I am now on a proper ward in the hospital.
I am being pumped with drugs to get the fluid out of my lungs.
Looking forward to breakfast.
Have a good day all

Good morning forumers, I’m trying to get back to my normal routine, a bit difficult having moved to an apartment in town, but I’m slowly getting sorted. We’ll be back at our country house as soon as Summer arrives. Much better off there when temperatures start soaring to 30s! :open_mouth:
Many advantages living in town, all shops and services in walking distance, or just a few minutes drive. :smiley:

Sorry to hear your back’s giving you trouble @Bruce, take it easy for a while so you’ll be fit for your trip.

Sorry to hear you’re in hospital @swimfeeders, wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.

I won’t venture out yet, still cloudy and drizzly, getting colder too. :neutral_face:
Maybe later, to take stuff to the dry-cleaner’s, I’ll be able to walk there, if it isn’t raining. :smiley:

Have a good weekend everyone.

Good morning!
Bright, clear, sunny, frosty

I woke up this morning, Oh Lawdy Mamma, about 03-00 and just couldn’t get back to sleep so I eventually got out of bed about 04-20 and just sat in my comfy chair drinking tea and watching the sun come up

Did last night’s washing up and a bit of pottering
Someone’s visiting later this morning to collect a MIG Welder for a local Men’s Shed
Not sure what I’ll do after that

Morning all – sunny start to the day

Continue to take it easy Bruce - back pain is no joke!

Hope you are feeling better soon swimfeeders

Fed the beast early – before I had my own breakfast (how is that for dedication). Despite the sun shining she refused to leave the house so I will have to go back in later

As today is my birthday I am abandoning my diet for the day, full English breakfast and will be spoiling myself tonight – pizza for dinner, a glass or 3 of wine and overdose on chocolate. Had a lovely surprise when my brother’s granddaughter sent me a video of Mum wishing me a happy birthday!

Take care and have a great day everyone

Get well soon, Swimmy.
You too, Bruce. Take it easy.
And happy birthday SheilaP. Have a nice day.

I sometimes have the same problem, the brain just won’t stop working. The worst for me is when go to bed at say 11pm, fall asleep then wake up thinking I have slept for hours but when I look at the clock it is 12:10. Hate it!

Thank you all, It is actually going well - this evening I think it has vastly improved. I am hoping tomorrow will be good.

Yippee
I am getting a pay rise on Monday 17 March from the Dept of health and welfare (DHW)
how much you ask? well it is the grand sum of 25p a week. The generosity is outstanding
