Good morning all, just making the most of a cool winter’s day, this evening another southerly change will come through plunging the night time temperatures into single figures and the day time temps into the mid to high teens. Not happy Jan.
After busily setting up my new computer yesterday, today is to be a medical day, about an hour ago I toddled down to the chemist for my flu jab and this arvo I have an appointment with my GP.
I actually wanted to combine a visit for a script with a visit for the flu jab but when I rang the doctor’s surgery yesterday to book I was told that doctors no longer do that, it is done by the Chemists. It is still free for over 65s which was good but it seems a waste of the doctor’s time to just go for a routine repeat prescription, but there you go. Medical treatment is changing.
Spent the rest of the morning trying to fix my back door dead lock because it seems to have moved and jams on the case, got it sorted but when I was checking the front door lock noticed it too is very worn. I suppose it is inevitable, they have been in use for nearly 45 years and I suppose they have to be replaced at some point.
Have a lovely summer’s day (which I suppose it is for most of you)
A bit of a dull grey cloudy day today, threatening rain later here in southern Hampshire.
Bit of a mixed day today. Lots of “house politics” going on with Mrs G at the moment. Issues with siblings and my father-in-law which thankfully I’m on the edge of - but it is stressing my wife up and has gone to try and sort things out. Meanwhile, I’ll be left to my own devices and that means a few jobs around the house, possibly involving cutting my lawn if the weather holds up.
Morning all – rain overnight and windy and overcast this morning
Ironing done yesterday although somehow I seem to have accumulated a whole basket of dirty clothes – there must surely be someone else living in this house that I don’t know about to produce this much laundry!
GRUMPY OLD WOMAN ALERT For some reason I am finding everything annoying this morning, local radio presenter is lucky he is not within reach as I feel like giving him a slap – most of the programme is taken up with talking about football and “trying” to do silly impressions of famous people (bearing in mind he is himself an actor he is making a very bad job of it!)
Don’t want to depress everyone so I will just wish you all a lovely day
Wild and windy with occasional rain on my early morning walk, not very summery here Bruce, coat, hat and gloves still drying out as we speak…It does seem to have calmed down a bit now though with the sun peeping through now and again. Not good enough to be working on the summer house, and I’m dying to try out my new Bosch rotary sander…
They still keep pestering me to go for my Shingles, Flu, and Covid jabs…not on your Nelly… Never had any of those and not going to start now. My Dad never had any of those and he lived to be 86, he’s dead now though…God rest his soul…
Windy, cool and rainy today. Just got back from the supermarket shop. Not easy as the road to and from town is closed for roadworks. The alternative route has roadworks too. Traffic piled up, so went for yet another way around it but that road was closed too! B*****y hell! Had to go quite a detour to get home.
My foot hurts like hell for no good reason. I shuffled around the supermarket and carpark like an old bloke of 80 …Wait a minute, I am an old bloke of 80! Maybe that would account for it.
Good afternoon all, after my moaning recently of constant rain and unusually cold weather, I can now declare that Summer is officially here, even if it’s happened all of a sudden, as usual! From jackets to t-shirts, all at once. Lots of sunshine, afternoon temperatures reach 30C and we’re already at the stage where it’s just too hot to stay outside, especially early hours of afternoon.
Ok, pulling my blinds down now, to keep the inside cooler. If possible, it’s better to get errands done in the mornings.
Hi everyone, I don’t know what’s happened, my tablet’s gone crazy, I just sent a post but it got sent to the wrong thread (good morning 7th August 2024)!
Is there any way I can "move’ it to this thread?
Never had any of those and not going to start now. My Dad never had any of those and he lived to be 86, he’s dead now though…God rest his soul…
