Thanks to all you good morning’ers for your concern following my recent fall. My arm and buttock seemed to take the worst of it…This is the state of my arm…

As for the buttock…Definitely not!.. :018:
Each time I get in the shower I seem to find a new bruise.
You’re right Swim, the blood thinners make the bruising so much worse.
The phone call wasn’t that urgent after all Rose, it was just the bloke coming to finish off my fence, he rang off and I had to call him back anyway… :009:

We’ve got the Eurovision song contest to look forward to tonight… :icon_cry:
Our daughter and her hubby are coming for tea and discussions, there’s no way that they will tolerate that on the telly… :009:

Just off to find a garden centre for lunch…My life used to be so exciting, how did it come to this…

Hi

Good Morning All

Stuck inside again, to keep my brain active I have started researching the costs of the fire damaged contents.

The list of those beyond economical repair is 11 pages of A4 Paper.

A mammoth task getting current prices for replacements, many are paintings and framed cigarette cards and these vary vastly in cost.

There are also 40 odd Star Wars models, a lot of difference in price especially if the box is damaged.

All good fun, I would much rather be fishing with Chilli.

Have a good day folks.

Good morning everyone :sun_with_face:
It’s lovely to wake up to sunshine instead of the rain we were expecting. I’ve already enjoyed my morning cuppa and a little potter in the garden :potted_plant: nothing too busy, just enough to feel the day starting right. Wishing you all a pleasant weekend ahead, whatever you’re up to. Take care!

Hi

Ah yes, underwear, a fascinating subject.

One very close to my mind today.

The Loss Adjusters for the Insurance Company have listed in detail the clothing which is unusable due to the fire and smoke damage.

Amongst the very detailed list they have made I apparently had 32 cotton boxers and 18 pairs of socks in my bedroom wardrobes.

In the left hand bedside cabinet, i sleep on the right, they have listed a number of ladies bras and panties, listed as various makes and sizes and a Rampant Rabbit and 1 other battery operated device.

You have no secrets after you have a House Fire. :innocent: :innocent:

The one other battery device intrigues me, I would hate fireman to see my lingerie drawer but if my house was badly damaged by fire that is the least of my worries.

I’m sorry to see this, Bob. I hope the hardest part is over, also for your buttocks, so that you can focus entirely on healing and taking it one day at a time.

What you keep in your wardrobe is your business Swim, but I would be so embarrassed if anyone found my collection of Val Doonican albums…

Yes, an Irish folkish singer mostly followed by middle aged people. Middle of the road so to speak, dead now I believe.
