Good Morning Thursday

another retired teacher! ??
I'm one too! GN seems to attract us, I wonder why?
Marydoll; It must be another manifestation of those mysterious forces that impel pods of whales to strand themselves on beaches!
There could be a better analogy, but I can't think of one just now.!
As someone once said "God fulfills himself in many ways, his wonders to perform"
Good Breaching!

Somebody is pushing the boundaries at 23.17!

And I am a retired teacher too. So is Mr Topsy!

Oooooohhh, we are indeed in danger of becoming a clique.?☹️??

I am a retired teacher also.

I'm one too! GN seems to attract us, I wonder why?

Hi conor??and thank you Ellan.x

Hello everyone!! Have been reading this lovely thread for ages but never posted until Gillybobs started her hospital blog and of course was so moved by everything she is going through so forgot to introduce myself!!
I live in S. Essex and am a retired teacher but still go into school voluntary 3 times a week! Just for the gossip really but do help out, I think!!
I have two lovely DGS age 3 & 7 and another? on the way next Feb. I look after them twice a week with the occasional sleepover as they only live 5 minutes away.
My DH died over 15 years ago but my house is always busy so never feel lonely. So hopefully that's enough about me and I may post again now you know me!! Xxxx

Hi Marydoll. Thanks for the screenshots will try them out when I am back home. Still on GP duties.

We told the boys last night that they had restricted time on the IPads and then we would all play a game. They decided I had to play ghost granny and chase them round the darkened house with G’dad videoing it. I have to say I found it all rather scary and was lucky not to fall down the darkened stairs! The boys were squealing with delight.

However the youngest aged 6 woke us at midnight as he was having a nightmare. Why am I not surprised. I’m not sure our DS would approve of our antics.

I'm glad that you were able to laugh Gilly it will be a tonic.
We are all willing him to pull through and for you to keep strong. xxxx

A steady 21 is my comfort zone. It's like a heatwave to me after putting up with no central heating and a temperature of 15 and below through a cold winter, with just a very expensive electric fire in one room.
How I ever managed in a cold bathroom I'll never know now, but I must have been a tough old bird. I don't miss that !

Just a PS from this morning.My INR was acceptable at 2.3 which I'm glad about seeing as the dosage is still reduced, then the nurse decided to vaccinate me against shingles so I can feel the arm getting slightly sore----and hot.
I don't need a repeat of the pneumonia jab as it was a one-off in 2006. Only for those with lung and breathing problems. So thank goodness for that !

Gillybob, there was a local man who'd served in one of the forces and who'd suffered a severe head injury a few years ago. He was in a coma for three months and came through it all.

Susan56 hope all will be well with you.

Gabriella, a constant 16 degrees would have me in A&E!
When I come down early in the morning, the temp is usually about 16 degrees and it hurts my chest!

People with respiratory conditions and heart disease are advised to have an ambient temperature of at least 21 degrees.
I feel the cold dreadfully and would love to be able to wear light clothing.
I'm the woman you see in summer , wearing a fur coat.
