A new what-I-did-today thread

I said to OH WILL take her out see if she needs get comfy and get paper while you get breakfast he likes doing boiled eggs. get home nothing started so hastily rustled up poached egg while moaning, now hug row erupted!!

had lovely day yesterday out with my friend for yummy Toby and spot retail, why has today gone so wrong, once he gets in mood that is it!
Well he was supposed to be shopping for his IPAD - AND we due visit a good friend who has lot pain at moment, looks like will be difficult day!

such shame as he booked for us to go out for Valentines meal and we having one course only meal out at our local tonight so things could be so good
!

Poor you, Ariadne. I do hope the knee is a blip and recovers quickly. I once had the same thing happen out of the blue and after a couple of weeks it went away and never recurred. Good luck with it.
The weather is horrid this morning and I am shelving my shopping plans which weren't urgent anyway. Rain changed to sleet and sleet now has more snow in it. There should be some rugby on the box this afternoon.
Grandcats gave me the runaround last night. They would come up to the cat flap when summoned and run away again, taunting me! In the end I left them to it and found them slumbering so peacefully this morning that they didn't even budge at the mention of food.

Got it drugged into submission! The knee, I mean. Think I was a bit early morning weepy. Jess it is very difficult to cosset Theseus - more a matter of nagging him into restraint! I pointed out yesterday, when he was talking about exercise, that going up and down stairs seven or eight times was not bad going.

Thank you, everyone. Yes, time for spring, isn't it?

Managed to sort out my Asda problem. No-one was answering the customer services phone and the jingle on the recorded message was driving me demented.So I rang head office and got to speak to nice man straight away. He's sending me a voucher for the Red Leicester cheese that looks as if it has been trodden on, the broken apple pie, and the oven-fresh yum yums that were not fresh. Result!

Yes to all who feel a bit below par today for one reason or another. Feel well soon.
My headache was self inflicted so it's my own fault

for those feeling unwell. Hope you all feel better soon.

glass, good job grans are a patient lot.

glass

flowers for all those who are feeling a little under the weather.

I spent last night baby sitting for my two youngest DGS, and the youngest who has refused to have anything to do with me from the day he was born he was 2 in December is now speaking to me in fact I couldn't move for him it comes to those who wait

Yes, there's quite a lot left, gaga (Mr Bags won't have any because he's off lentils (long story); see how devious I am? No, really, I've made him some mushroom soup instead). Sending a virtual flask of it in your direction right now. Enjoy and take care of that chest.

What a lot we are with our various incapacities. I was up at 4.30 coughing and wheezing and hoping that the meds. start to ease things today. Am so glad I didn't do my usual trick of putting off visiting the Doc. (Really have to gee myself up for that - I hate it)I hope you and Theseus manage to hop along together today Ariadne and your knee improves rapidly.Maniac hope the tum probs ease too.

I think we are all in need of spring now - it has felt a long and miserable winter.
for all in sick bay and for all well-wishers. Thanks.

Any of that delicious sounding soup left Bags? Sounds just what I could do with right now!

Sounds like theseus doing well. His physios would probably think it a great idea if he has to look after you. They disapprove of too much cosseting I'm sure.
Hope the pill kicks in and you can have a bit of a snooze.
Hi maniac hope you enjoyed the concert.

I hope the pain is subsiding a bit now, ariadne. It can get you down, I know.

Yes! Have taken one of the prescription anti-inflammatories - Naproxyn - which I only take when I really have to. So we'll see. It's just worrying, with poor old Theseus only a week into recovery. But thanks - knew someone would be around for me!

Maniac will go and find my wheat pad. in a minute...

Aw you poor love. Maybe internal ibuprofen called for on this occasion? absorbing pain relief through the skin a slow process. You still there?

Ariadne I'm up also.Had a restless night.Woke at 5.30 with belly ache and flatulence .Now sipping peppermint tea.
Sorry about your knee.Hope it's better soon.I've had OA in rt knee for 4 yrs
Had an energetic evening going to concert in Bristol -steep hills and steps.
Back to bed with my heated wheat cushion.

Today I woke up at about 4.00 I really tried to get back to sleep but in the end went down to get a drink, and my right knee was suddenly shot with pain. (It's the left knee that is arthritic.) it actually brought tears to my eyes!

So, have applied Iboprufen gel, and am lying here in the spare room waiting for it to take effect. With Theseus on crutches, one of us has to be in reasonable working order! Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I think, and quite tearful. Sorry.

Indeed it would be special and wonderful! Once this house is sold........@fingerscrossedemoticon

Butty how special would that be!

Come! Butty! Just THINK how wonderful it would be if you flew in and joined our pub lunch

I'm warning you two - I'll be helicoptering in one of these days years!

Soop, let's do it! pm-ing you

Bags that would be brilliant. He goes in on Mon 18th and was told he'd stay put for "a few days". I no longer drive. I could make Inveraray by bus.
And yes, the hair cut is very flattering. I've been trimming my fringe with nail scissors. The hairdresser was un impressed.

Glad you got that treatment and are feeling a bit better, gaga.

Wish I had a helicopter (with pilot) at my disposal, soop, and I'd pop over and see you while Mr Soop is away. What days is he away?

Hope that was good, soop

That lentil and tomato (and carrot and onion and celery) soup I made from the beef knuckle bone marrow stock is quite possibly the smoothest and most delicious soup EVAH!

(I suppose it was a beef bone)

Delicious is the important bit.
