I am going to contact my surgery on Monday for a look up as to injury's, I have a black right eye, plus cuts above right brow , and I will endeavour to ask for prescription for low blood pressure .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from Polmont. Low cloud here and windy. 11°. I hope you can get to the bottom of your low blood pressure Mick. It must be worrying for you.
I never stopped yesterday. Lots of busy things going on. A fruitful visit to the local garden centre and to the local retail park. Today I'm hunkering down and going nowhere and spending no more money! Have a good day all.

Good morning all from the Angus coast where the sun is battling for supremacy over the clouds and it's breezy and chilly Come on, the sun!
I do hope you see your GP soon Mick - they do need to get to the bottom of why this keeps happening. As far as I can make out, there's little or no GP cover anywhere over this long weekend, so Monday's your day.
Lovely to hear of everyone's Jubilee celebrating. I missed the Trooping of the Colour yesterday because I was at tai chi, and it wasn't the same to see bits of it on the news later.
For me, just a busy day today catching up on bits and bobs so I look forward to hearing all about everyone else's doings tomorrow. Enjoy yourselves!

Good morning Mick and everyone from a brightish but showery Carlisle. No use putting the washing out today.
I second Marydoll's comments about your low BP, Mick. I don't think our NHS is pro-active about it in this country whereas others take it more seriously but you should try and get to your GP.
Today is a day of more laundry and housework for me as it was yesterday though I certainly found time to watch the Trooping of the Colour. It reminds me of the displays I attended on the parade ground at Woolwich Arsenal as a child. I was especially fascinated by the teams of horses towing gun carriages thundering towards each other...but they always managed to avoid each other, contrary to my fears for them!
Hopefully, a bit of gardening this afternoon, I've not been able to resist the lures of the garden centre again and pots of plants are piling up.
The best day possible to you all.

Good morning all from not so sunny Leicester. I helped at a charity fundraiser yesterday morning then we walked the dog. Today I’m on dog walking duties and this afternoon I’ll be sewing with my friend’s daughter.

Have a lovely day, everyone. Take it easy until you catch up with a doctor, Mick.

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast. Rainy day. Enjoyed watching the jubilee stuff and caught up with the Royal Windsor Horse show, loved it. DD weeded the gravel drive which was looking neglected.
Planning to go to 60/70s theme disco tonight with DS and friend. Another friend who remembers it all (don’t we all?) is DJ. I’m trying to motivate myself as don’t feel like it at the mo.
Sorry you are having health problems Mick and thoughts to all with worries.
Will read through later.

Good morning all from a sunny W Kent. I also enjoyed the Trooping of the Colour yesterday and will try and watch the service this morning. Off to DD's this afternoon so I will be kept busy.
I also have low blood pressure and was told to drink plenty specially first thing and have a good breakfast. The drinking not so great when you want to go out! I hope you get an appointment asap Mick.
Best wishes to all

Good morning from Durham. Yesterday was hectic - had to take DD2 and her family to the airport. It took 2 trips with the luggage, wheelchair and push chair! The flight was 3 hours late, so they didn’t get to their hotel until after 2am. At least they’re there.
Back to DD2’s for a Jubilee Garden Party - she’d asked me to stay over, but I couldn’t as I have DD2’s dogs staying with me.
I shall be having an easy day today - a bit of shopping for the weekend, some gardening and dog walking later, when it’s cooler.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Mick and all. It’s raining in my corner of Lancashire, currently 12°c.

Sounds like a nasty fall Mick, do take care.

Sounds like most of us enjoyed the celebrations yesterday, hope everyone has a good day today whatever you’re doing.

Good morning from a sunny NE ?.
The weather was disappointing yesterday, heavy showers on and off all day.
DS and GD2 came, we played Scrabble and watched the film Amadeus, GD is studying music and she has never seen this film from 1984 before.
I won't be going out for lunch with friend today as the restaurant is closed for the long weekend, I was surprised as it is in a popular tourist area.
I will spend the day sorting clothes from DH's wardrobe, air ambulance are collecting next week, nearly everything going to the charity still have labels on as worn clothes have already been binned. Emotional job, quite pleased to be on my own.
Did not see any Jubilee coverage but I expect it was spectacular.
Enjoy your day.

Good morning, all from a sunny mid Devon as we decided to escape the hullabaloo in Torbay for a few days for the tranquility of Dartmoor, where my holiday home is situated.

As we left, the local area (Babbacombe) was thronging with people, many visiting in readiness for the Air Show planned for Saturday and Sunday. Not our thing, but it gives the local council a reason to boast. Priorities seem adrift when food banks become widespread yet councils are happy to indulge in spending huge amounts on such events. They would argue that it benefits the hospitality trade.

Enough! We are planning to visit Castle Drogo, one of our favourite NT properties which should look its briliant best in the sunshine. It was designed by Edwin Lutyens, DH's favourite architect. He also designed the Cenotaph and our wedding reception venue: The Drum at Cockington.

I hope you all enjoy whatever you've planned for today. A sad but necessary task for you, harrigran and I hope you decide to join the street party, Greyduster.

Happy Jubilee!

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. Sorry to hear about your fall Mick. That happened to me a couple of months ago, and I had just had a blood test as well. Fell flat on my face, luckily I was still in the hospital, where I was well looked after.
Today is my SIL's 90th birthday. She is the sister I never had, and I love her dearly.
Seems I have missed a few days catching up on here, so must go and try to find out what has been happening.
Yesterday I spent all day watching the Trooping of the Colour. Many years ago, when DS1 was engaged, his fiancè's father had tickets for seats around the parade ground. Now I just think, how can they last all that time without needing the loo!
This afternoon I have an MRI booked, so they must be catching up on lost appointments.
Lovely day here, so washing out on the line and it will dry beautifully.
Have a good day one and all.
