Good morning all, just made it in time, I've been busy moving stuff around in my bedroom ready for paintint wall no2. Hoovered round.

I've been out in the garden painting fence panels, hard work as it's uneven ground to stand on & bending which is causing me a lot of hip pain. Now I've had a brew it's back to fence painting. Planning a relaxing afternoon in the garden.

I'm off to see Podiatrist tomorrow at local Hospital, they are a little concerned about my left foot (Diabetic Type 2) so it's classified as essential appointment.

Thinking of all & their loved ones who have health issues flowers Hope every-one has a good day, I should be back on here on Saturdaysmile. Hope this nice weather lasts over the weekendsunshine

Morning all,

Its another nice day. Just been outside planting some seeds into a pair of old work boots, just to add a bit of fun to the garden later. Not sure if they’ll germinate as I’ve had them a while (forgot about them), but there’s nothing to lose in trying.

Just found some delphinium seeds sent to me last year, so will have a go at starting them off in the greenhouse, but might have left things a bit late. We’ll see.

Had my Pilates session this morning via zoom. I think it’s the quickest hour of the day! Always look forward to it.

Not read through all the posts yet, so hope you are all ok today. Keep safe.

Hello all from the Gower. Sorry haven't read any messages today so I hope everyone is doing okay.
I had. To have "rescue medication" this morning because of a prolonged seizure so that's why I haven't read.
Happy St George's Day to all the English GN's and/or their DH's or partner's and their English family members.
Have as good a day as you can everyone ❤️

Susan56 Thu 23-Apr-20 13:59:15

Oh Cherry?hope you feel better as the day goes on.x?

Urmstongran Thu 23-Apr-20 14:08:07

Ah right Scentia thanks for explaining it.
?
Hope your first day goes well. Which I’m sure is a big ask, considering what’s going on.

Doodle Thu 23-Apr-20 14:09:25

I rang Thames Water at 12.55 about a loose drain cover on my property which moves easily and is a trip hazard as it rises out of the ground, not flush.
A phone call just now from a man outside who is taking photos to send to engineers who will then know who to send later from a different depot.
Great customer service.
Also had a lady who is bringing me more rhubarb and strawberry plants as she bought too much for her needs.
How nice is that. She lives about 6 miles away so extra good of her.
I like lockdown...? Everyone is sooo helpful.

GabriellaG54 Thu 23-Apr-20 15:13:58

I too send good wishes to CherryCezzy, Scentia, Gillybob, Marydoll and all GNers who are feeling the weight of this lockdown. I realise that it's hard for some of you.
Take care ???

EllanVannin Thu 23-Apr-20 15:33:39

Thank you ladies, x I've just seen all your suggestions and rang D before . Apparently she'd already rang 111 and they told her to ring the emergency dentist which she did and after an hour hanging on the line she gave up.
She then rang the GP who in turn gave her a couple of numbers to ring---to no avail as there's a huge backlog of patients waiting to see dentists.

Anyway, after the continual Calpol and various " dabbing things " his toothache eased. What it is, is a tooth coming through and pushing a milk tooth out and this is where the pain is so it's one of his molars that's giving the trouble.
D's hoping and praying it settles down. He's her GS who's been in her care with the twins since before the lockdown when their father took ill and died. ( my GGS )

This year, like Gillybob's as been 'orrible so far sad

Urmstongran Thu 23-Apr-20 15:41:15

Oh poor boy EV I do hope his toothache ache eases and he gets a good night’s sleep. This must be awful for him and your daughter. As you say - what an annus horribilus (so far) for your family & gillybob.

Surely things can only get better? x

EllanVannin Thu 23-Apr-20 15:43:09

At least one good thing made D happy today, she'd phoned to have a new TV aerial fitted and the kindly gentleman suggested she have the TV fitted above the fireplace, which he did ( extra cash for him ) and she's thrilled because it's a large screen, so it's freed up some space in her living room for an extra armchair.

I was so happy for her at such a small thing really because I know the job would have been done properly being an aerial fitter.

Urmstongran Thu 23-Apr-20 15:47:07

That’s good EV especially as your daughter probably needs more space right now for all them bottoms!
?

EllanVannin Thu 23-Apr-20 15:47:19

Urmston, yes, a trying time to say the least----but you know what ? We will get there eventually, we can still smile through it all. x We're a strong family.

EllanVannin Thu 23-Apr-20 15:49:17

Bottoms indeed, Urmston grin I'm sure it'll be bottoms-up when the children have gone to bed.

Urmstongran Thu 23-Apr-20 15:54:40

And it’ll be well deserved!
