Good morning all. Damp here in West Yorkshire. Will wrap up well and have a stomp through the woods before the joiner arrives to spend another day working on my kitchen. Today the floor gets finished (I hope). So close to the end but it’s still basically unusable.
Back to A&E for a scan of my shoulder and a meeting with the physiotherapist. The meds have helped the pain a great deal but a decent nights sleep sadly still evades me. Oh well can always have a snooze later!

Morning Mick and All.

So sorry to hear you have been unwell Mick. I think you are in touch with your Diabetic Clinic why not have a phone chat with them.

So dark out here in South Bucks and it is nearly 7.00. The clocks change this weekend something I am not looking fwd to.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Do take care Mick - perhaps its time for a review of your meds?
We have both spent most of the night awake, DH with his ulcers and me with my knee. One of those nights when you are glad it’s morning.
It is due to be wet all day, so ironing in front of the TV and a socially distanced pub lunch with the WI.
I hope the day is kind, particularly to those who are ill or worried.

Good Morning everyone from a very wet Severnside.
Oh dear Mick, I’m siding with NotAGrans advice for you.

I’m all flu jabbed. I went early for a walk in and there was some confusion about we should have had letters which none of us in the queue had received. The under 65’s were sent off with a form and told to phone.
I was asked if I had an egg allergy so that made me think of them and I ended up having egg and chips at lunchtime.

Stay safe all ?☔️

Good morning All. Look after yourself today Mick. Today in Wiltshire, we are forecast heavy rain so wet-weather gear on today. Yesterday I had all the sheep in for foot-bathing as a few were a bit lame, caused by ‘scald’ - a condition where they get sore between the clefts of their hooves. Because the fertilised eggs in a ewe can take 3 weeks to become embedded in the womb I have to be very careful not to stress the ewes for this period of time otherwise it can result in no pregnancy, so it was a slow, leisurely walk for them back to the shed and then a gentle stroll through the footbath. I’m happy with how the ewes are looking, all bar a handful of the ewe-lambs have now been covered by the rams. The rams, on the other hand, are starting to look a bit knackered so I’ll be taking them out tomorrow and then they can relax and live the bachelor lifestyle for the next 11 months! Not a bad life for a ram - one month of work followed by 11 months off!
I’m not sure yet what today has in store. The plan was to go and pick up a trailer load of new gates and fencing materials this afternoon once all the feeding and checks have been done, but if it’s really bucketing it down, I might leave that until tomorrow. Wishing you all a happy, soggy Wednesday! ?☔️?

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark and damp corner of Somerset. That isn’t good Mick, agree with notagran, seek advice from your surgery, best to be safe. Usual Wednesday dust removal and grocery delivery for us. If we did venture out think we may need flippers and a snorkel. Take care, thinking of everyone with worries of any kind.

Mick I do hope that you have consulted your GP ? It isn’t normal to blackout . You were poorly on a recent trip out too which might be related .
Take care from West Berkshire.

Good morning from a dark and stormy E Kent.
Oh dear, Mick, do take things easy and relax a bit. Plenty of cycling for you to watch...
Nothing much happened yesterday nor today.
Was given a load of quinces which are ripening. I must make quince jelly with them. I want to make quince cheese or leather but have put off by the volcanic “blopping “of the mixture while it reduces.
Hope the sad, the wobbly and those in pain have a tolerable day. Stay safe all.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and its wet here in Brackley this morning .
Yesterday did not happen for me , I started to blackout ,and came over with a cold sweat , so relaxed in the chair and watched Tv and watched the cycle races unfold.
I am going to take a break in routine ,and slowly get myself back to normal I hope .
I am on medication for angina etc but take it easy .
Take Care ,
Mick
