Good morning all, from a wet and wild Glasgow. The wind howled all night, I'm afraid to look out, as there was quite a lot of banging and crashing going on.
Welcome Grannydinosaur to this lovely thread, are you dipping your toe in the GN water and posting for the first time?
I did have good intentions yesterday to rest, well apart from tinting my very blond eyebrows, which I considered to be a gentle exercise. ? They seem to have got even blonder in lockdown. Of course all didn't go to plan, are you surprised?
Our bathroom sink has been partially blocked for ages, but DH just couldn't get the plug out. It was one of those you push down to seal it. Putting drain cleaner down it as an interim measure, had little effect.
I decided to take the bull by the horns and had one last go at getting the plug out. My pleas to MrMD, alias MrProcrastnator, had been falling on deaf ears and I was getting quite annoyed about it. Well I managed it, but after cleaning the blockage, I couldn't get the blooming plug to fit back in properly, so the drain was exposed.
Roll on yesterday to the eyebrow tinting. The tinting was going swimmingly, for once and I was quite chuffed with the results, so I decided to use the electronic, eyebrow shaper thingie I have. Going for the full pampering treatment no less!?
Unfortunately, to my horror, I dropped the attachment down the plughole. ? * * * *!!!!!
I had forgotten how useless my hands were! One knitting needle, two sets of tweezers and many expletives later,, I managed to retrieve it Why is nothing simple?
DH is none the wiser! ?? Reports of my disasters are on a need to know basis only and he doesn't need to know until after the event and matters have already been resolved!!! ?
There is nothing planned for today. DH thinks I should stay in bed, as I'm feeling a bit ropey. His golf and my empty have been cancelled, due to the weather. It is my considered opinion, he just wants peace to watch (and doze) the constant sport which is on TV or have his awful music, playing through the Sonos system, without my very tasteful and repetitive Spotify list ( I can't get it to stop repeating tracks) playing in the background in another room!
I got an updated shielding letter on Saturday, giving a possible date of coming out of shielding on the 26th April. I'm finding it difficult to understand why, as Megs has posted that in England the date is the end of March for her husband to stop shielding and people are talking on here about travelling freely to other locations. What does stay local actually mean? Why the anomaly between the two nations?
Quite depressingly and contradictorally, my letter said the advice is to continue to shield until I receive the second vaccine, which in my case will be after the 26th April. Its all so confusing disheartening!
Ashcombe, I spotted a new male poster, separated from his wife by the Channel and lockdown, and wondered if you were related? ? He seemed a lovely chap.
For all those receiving hospital treatment or having medical appointments today, ( I know there are a few), sending best wishes.
To my lovely friends, who have sent me PMs,thank you for thinking about me, sorry for the delay in replying.
Wishing you all as pleasant a day as possible.
PS, a note to my dear friend Kalu, you are no longer a teenager, be careful! If you don't behave, we won't be able to meet up at Waitrose for a gossip, once I'm allowed out!!! ?
