God morning all from a wet Glasgow, where its only 8°C.
I'm sorry to hear your op has been postponed Mick, but wise to build you up before your op. I hope it won't be too long to wait.

GM, glad its working! That's a strange one, were all your other devices working?
I had a similar problem with the church photocopier yesterday, which had gone offline. The PP had no idea that he could use the photocopier, to print from the parish PC. The only thing was, when I got the copier working, I was able to show him, the error log, showing a number faults.
He things I'm a genius, ? but not too happy at having to call out an engineer.

I spent a fair amount of time uploading the parish census, I couldn't believe how quickly my dormant IT skills came back. I used to tutor teachers for the LA, in using Microsoft Access, but thought I had forgotten everything.
I quite enjoyed the brain workout, I know, I am very odd! ?
The afternoon was spent dozing again. What a waste of an afternoon, so hoping my cardiology appointment comes soon and I can hopefully get some of my oomph back.

I have an early RA appointment, which means we will get caught in all the traffic at the busiest and most confusing junction in Glasgow. DH gets so agitated!
I was on the Rolls Royce of RA medication, which had to be stopped because of the rare damage caused to my internal organs, so it will be interesting to hear what my consultant has to say and offer. I can't have steroids either at the moment, which would help my pain levels.
The last time, I tried a new RA medication, I had a severe allergic reaction and a heart attack, so I am obviously very cautious.

For those with troubles and sorrow, (and there are many), you are in my prayers and good luck if you have a medical appointment.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning from Essex by the sea. I'm not sure what the weather is doing as its still dark.
It's DH's birthday today and we are going out to a new, to us, restaurant this evening. Looking forward to it.
DH went to visit his best friend in hospital yesterday and spent 40 minutes trying to find somewhere to park. His friend was very pleased to see him when he finally appeared.
Have a lovely Friday everyone, love to all xx

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Still dark but not too cold
That's such good news Ladyleftfieldlover!

Not so good for you Mick but Ash is right, the iron will help with recovery. Those surgeons know what they are doing.

My new boiler is on the wall. There's just the electric stuff to do now.

Have good Friday folks. smile

Good morning, it’s a dark, dry corner of Wiltshire here ?
That’s a pain Mick I hope it gets sorted quickly for you.
I had a very enjoyable time discussing designs with a jeweller yesterday, and trying on the most exquisite rings ??
I’m having my engagement ring reset, I can’t wear it it’s too small, and various other bits done. I can’t wait to see it!
Today there’s nothing planned at all, I do need to do some housework though……
Have a lovely day everyone x

Good morning, all from a cloudy but mild Torbay.

It must be disappointing for you, Mick, but at least you’ll be stronger beforehand which will help with your recovery. Are you still taking iron tablets? You must be relieved to have that positive news, Ladyleftfieldlover.

A day of pottering with a brief outing to local shops for me is planned. I hope today brings hope to those with cares and worries, especially about the health of loved ones. Thoughts with Baggs ?

Morning all from a still dark West Oxfordshire. Winter draws on indeed! After yesterday’s colonoscopy shenanigans (they found nothing sinister smile ) I am having a quieter day. OH is out shooting (targets not animals) so I can relax. Son and his family are coming to stay this evening and he has offered to cook dinner. My cleaners came yesterday so all I have to do is sort out the guest room and pop to the local shop and buy some salad stuff. I hope we all have a good day.

Gd morning from a dark, dry E Kent.
What bad luck, Mick. Lots of spinach? Hope the iron levels go up soon.
Quiet day yesterday, though DL had visitors. She seems more proficient at manoeuvring her wheelchair round the awkward bends in the house. She is looking at three apartments - at least her friends are. There is only one I consider suitable as she is very sociable and likes to have friends to stay, two beds is the only option.
Early dog walk with my friend this morning, then various bits and bobs,
Thanks, Marydoll, for the advice regarding my wireless printer. It turned our all I needed do was reboot my router! At least, it is working now.
Hugs to everyone who needs one,. Be happy.today. Carpe diem. ???❤️

Good Morning Everyone,
Dark and cold outside here in brackley but dry .
My trip to the JR in Oxford , has seen changes as to what happens next , because I am anemic , they want my blood to build up before any surgery can take place.
So no operation on Monday , I will instead see the Anie statist and do blood checks maybe more iron infusion .
Take Care,
Mick
