Good morning all from a wild and wet Glasgow, its blowing a hoolie, with all sorts of loud noises coming from outside. ??. A day for the house and a visit to James Martin's kitchen.
Yesterday my daughter and SIL, arrived with lots off goodies. They had gone to a bakery on the coast we like and stocked up on pies and favourite cakes. They also brought beautiful flowers and much chocolate.
The final surprise was a Fit Bit. My SIL had won Employee of the month, for going above and beyond in keeping IT up to speed and enabling employees to keep their call centres running during the pandemic.
His prize was cash and a Fit Bit. As they already had one they decide to donate it to me.
I have become obsessed with my heart rate!!!! Perhaps not with my step count, as my daughter manages 20,000 a day and I'm too embarrassed to admit to what I have achieved! ?
I'm feeling quite low after my very thorough consultation yesterday. My consultant is referring me to the orthopaedic surgeon, as he has concerns about my hip and and also my foot which has had a number of unhealed hairline stress fractures over the years. Obviously, given the current situation, it will be years before I get an appointment.
The worst news is that I fulfil not just one, but three different criteria for shielding and in light of the increasingly risky situation, I must not have any contact with people. Basically I'm back to shielding again. Sorry to be such a misery guts, I knew that, but there was always a tiny bit of hope it wouldn't happen.
Has anyone noticed that as well as Cherry, Mellow Yellow has not been posting? I replied to a message she sent me about fruit trees,we were buying, but she never responded.
I hope she is OK.
Susan, I'm so envious of your trip. We are about to book a trip on the Flying Scotsmen for next year, across the iconic Forth Rail bridge. Fingers crossed it goes ahead!
Hoping to hear better news of Mr Grammaretto and hugs to all, our struggling friends. Have the best day you can.
