Moved to a new forum Richard. You can still find it in Active Topics.

Today I have had my first hug. Erin will be on antibiotic drip for 5 days. At the moment she us not feeding very well but otherwise things are looking good. Claire is well and will probably stay in hospital all week with Erin.

[Stanley]

Patience Sue..... Give her time to get adjusted!
Watching the post, books are due!

[Sue]

Oh I am patient Stanley, I have to say I was more worried about Claire at first but she is ok now. The Drs are concerned about Erin's low glucose level hence the concern about feeding, they may put her back on a feeding tube today if there is no indication of a rise, that is why she is asleep all the time.

Getting through a pile of washing while the sun is shining, taking advantage of free electricity and free hot water!

[Sue]

Been helping at the hospice shop and Bob has been creosoting the fence. Also bought seeds, compost and two bags of manure from B&Q. Seed planting here I come. I need to clean the seed trays though, don't want any possible nasties from last year getting in the compost. I had quite a few failures last year and don't know why.

Congratulations Sue, hope it's not long before Erin is in your arms. Been a funny old day today, one family member taking falls, two family members fighting C, one family member struggling to find work, one family member with alzheimers. But the crocuses look beautiful in the spring sunshine.

I think we are all enjoying a bit of sunshine.

[Sue]

Sorry to hear all of that Belle.

[Stanley]

Taking a rest from writing and repairing my front gate which needs a bit of attention.

[Sue]

Little Erin is back on the Ward with her mum

[Stanley]

Good.....

[PanBiker]

Smashing news Sue.

[Gloria]

Lovely Sue.

Now ladies --- sit down, take a deep breath and read on--- today I am going to clean the downstairs outside windows

[Sue]

That's the trouble with sunshine Gloria!

[Marilyn]

You need to get yourself a Febby, Gloria.
He did the windows in our entire house last week.
Meanwhile, I had the tedious job of cleaning several timber wenetian blinds. I love having windows open, but with all the old houses being torn down and rebuilding taking place around us, we get a lot of dust.

[Stanley]

You're right about the sun.... I had to clean the kitchen window inside and out last week!

[LizG]

Helping (teaching) my Dad, who's 87, how to use the apps and the recording function on his smart TV. I finally worked out that the reason he was having problems was that he hadn't updated the apps in all the time he'd had the TV. Once we updated everything I wrote out instructions and he happily practiced recording things all afternoon.

A very happy customer!

[Stanley]

I'm nowhere near as smart as my bog standard TV, never mind anything more complicated....
I have the drill bit. I shall be drilling a 16mm hole through 18" of masonry for a start...... Ridiculous at my age but cheaper than a builder!

[Marilyn]

What do you need to drill that hole for, Stanley?

[Stanley]

Have a look at Shed Matters Maz. The top fastening of my heavy iron front gate broke away and so I have to fix it....

[Cathy]

It really helps if you are psychic Marilyn
