Hi all, just a quickie, I cant stay on long my head is all over the place again, bl****y vertigo...... so dont worry if I am missing until I can sort it ..... take care....
love Jean xx

Ann, we have a small hospital in Ilkeston not too far from us, we always had to go there for blood tests but since we've had the new surgery we can get our blood taken there. It's a lot easier for Alun now,as they start most mornings at 6-30 a.m. so he can get it done before going to work. An added bonus is that some of the doctors appointments now start at 7.00 a.m where in the past the earliest appointment was at 8.30 a.m.

It's a shame that they haven't even started building your new surgery.
It didn't take them too long building ours, it was built on the same site as our old one and was built in two stages. Everybody was commenting on how big it was for a GP practice, but of course with all the other things going on there we now understand why it's so big.



Mo, I thought the same as Ann about Roly's hearing aid as mine whistles if the volume is set too high. Hope he can get it sorted soon, it must really get on his nerves.

Oh what a way for for your granddaughter's boyfriend to behave, he sounds just like a spoilt child that can't get his own way. I'm sure your granddaughter must have felt so embarrassed and wished that she wasn't with him.


Joyce nice to see you post on here too. Hope you manage to get some shoes that you are able to wear, if you are wearing a long dress I wouldn't be too worried about the kind of shoes they are as long as they are comfortable.


Well, my hearing aid is now working OK, thank goodness, there was something wrong with the tube at the end of the piece that goes behind the ear.



Whatever is wrong with Linda, I hope she will soon feel better.



I'll speak to you all tomorrow, take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie, Linda has got Labrynthitus, it's in the same kind of problem as Jean with her Vertigo, I believe.
It's a problem that keeps coming back and plaguing (sp) the pair of them.
You cant use the excuse of not being able to hear Alun now when he speaks to you,lol. Roly does that to me at times, and then I realise he hasn't put his aid in yet. I'm sure he does it on purpose, so that he gets some peace and quiet.
He has to go to the hospital every so often to get it retubed, it's part of his after care programme.
Love Mo xxx

Hi Jean, sorry to hear that the old problem is back again honey. You will have to get back to your doctor, and get some more tablets to help you.
Love and big hugs for you, Mo xxx

Hi there, to those that have missed me, I am still around. I look in at least once a day - usually more often - but dont post so much. Yesterday I had an early phone call asking if I could do the afternoon in the hospice shop for somebody else, so I went in. I wasnt going to buy anything, but finished up buying things which totalled $35 but the boss gives us a discount and it finished up at $18. I think I will have to leave my purse and cards at home. :-(

It is obviously too tempting for you Huia, what did you get for that amount?

Jean, sorry you are suffering again, and I don't suppose the new board colours help you much either. I hope you can quickly get over this bout as you must be due to go on your hols soon.

Mo I put my aids in when I get up and take them out when I go to bed.

Hi girls,
My laptop is back in the lappy horsespital, and I can pick it up tomorrow.
Somehow I got a virus, and it locked me out of Face Book and other sites,so we got a technician to give it a once over,and clean it up for me.
I wouldn't mind but my son cleaned it up on Saturday, and blow me down it went again last night.

Huia you were missed honey. You go ahead and spend your money love, and enjoy doing so.
You get loads of bargains from the hospice shop don't you.
How is Phil getting along now? And hows that lovely great grandson of yours.

Ann, Roly takes his aids out at night as well. Goodness knows what would happen if we had a burgler, he would never hear them, and I would have to shake him well to wake him up, and probably get bashed on the head for my trouble,either by him or the burgler. lol

Has anyone heard how Caz is please.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

I thought I had posted on here last night ??????



Hi Mo

and everyone

We had a good time up north. Stayed in town, and drove the 60 km to the cabin each day. The weather had been wetter than usual (surprise, surprise!!) ....... so the grass and Marguerite daisies were almost waist high!

As the lawn mower was among the items that "walked" back in May, OH had to use the weed eater to make a path down the driveway to the gate (only about 200' long), around the outside of the gate, and from the drive to the cabin. He managed to do some painting outside, and chopped the trunks of a couple of trees that had fallen across the farm road down to the flat meadow and creek .............. cutting out chunks of the trunks wide enough to walk through.

We thought the 4 or 5 trees that had fallen since last year had all been blown down during the winter ....... but he discovered that 2 of the ones across the farm road were actually "helped" on their way by BEAVERS!!! Both had had their trunks gnawed away near the base ..... it looks just like a tree faller would have done if cutting down a tree. AND they were both very big trees!

We brought away some more stuff ............... and now have a very nice patio set of aluminium and glass table and 4 chairs on our sun deck. We've never had a good set down here before

We'll go back up for 3 or 4 days in 2 or 3 weeks time, so OH can finish painting the outside ...... then we'll see where we go with selling it.



We had the strangest weather last night .................... thunder, lightening, and very heavy rain "squalls". It began just before 7 pm, and lasted until around midnight.


Today it is cloudy, and very much cooler than it has been ................... the temperatures here in Vancouver were above 30C from about last Friday or Saturday through until Monday, then dropped slightly ............. to about 27C


Himself has been sleeping in the basement since we got back ..... it is very cool down there (he's even needed a quilt). I can't sleep on that bed, so I've stayed in the bedroom, with 2 fans blowing on me, and just a sheet for covering.

We've both slept very well :-D :-D :-D



take care everyone

Hi girls, I am ok Mo, I went to the hospital clinic on Wed and was there from 8am till 2pm, I had to have some blood taken and have it seen before I saw doc. It's not good but I'll put up with it. I go for my first chemo this afternoon, hope that goes ok.
Sylvia that weather would be too much for me, it is hot here but nothing like that, can't do with it too hot.
Right, going for my tea and toast.

Love Caz xx

I spent another afternoon in the Hospice shop today. Spent more money too. A footstool which is just right for sitting here, a red silk scarf, and a couple of soft toys for our postie. $6 the lot.

Mo, you have seen the 4 gen photo on my FB page, havent you? Maybe I will post one of Phil there, but I probably wont leave it on too long.

Got my rates bill today so tomorrow morning I will go to Pukekohe to get my claim in for a rates rebate (fingers crossed that I still get it) and pay the first installment. I got my insurance (house & contents) bill a couple of days ago, almost double what it was last year, because of the Christchurch earthquakes. :-0

A builder will be coming one fine day next week to see if he can sort out the leak I had (in the window, presumably coming from the roof). The last couple of rainy days it hasnt seemed to leak, so I think it is connected with the direction of the wind. The builder says he might take one of the roofing sheets off to see if he can get to the bottom of it.

I will be off to bed soon, so behave yourselves while I am sleeping. Behave yourselves even when I am not. :-)

Huia.

Oh Huia, dont be a spoilsport, why should we be good and behave ourselves, we have done that all our lives, and lifes to short, so lets go for it girls, and all have a naughty day tomorrow.
I think I will go out and splash the cash, and buy myself something nice. That will scare the pants off Roly. lol
Then I think if we have another really hot day, I may do a lady Godiver, and strip off and scare the neighbours. ( well I might take me winter vest off or something like that) just to be a little devil.
There shouldn't be a problem with you getting your rates rebate surely, your circumstances have not changed since last year, have they.
I dread getting letters these days, they always seem to be for renewal of insurances on one thing or another. But I must keep the payments up, coz it would be just my luck if I cancelled them, something would break down.

Good grief Sylvia, I bet your OH was exhausted after clearing the beaten track to your cabin door.
Why is it, weeds seem to grow so much faster than flowers and any plant do.
I would love to see the Beavers doing their daily chores, chewing trees to pieces.
They are fascinating creatures to watch, but a real nightmare to woodlands. Thank goodness a tree didnt fall on your cabin.
Talking of strange weather events, I think the whole world has been suffering different climates to the norm.
We certainly have here in the U.K. Today has been a real scorcher, and the weekend should be the same, but then, it's supposedly going to change yet again.
We dont get the summers we had as children. During the school holidays, we were able to play outside in the good weather, but children cant do it these days, as nine out of ten school holidays, it rains.
I remember going to the beach with my parents nearly every weekend, when it was summer time.
I'd be afraid to take my grandchildren there now, as we would need to take,swimming gear and also welly boots and rain coats just in case. lo ;-)

Caz honey, I hope the chemo went o.k this afternoon, and that you dont suffer to many side effects.
Stay strong sweetie, and dont let the Bu**er beat ya.

Bye for now girls, love to all, Mo xxx

Hi girls, what a day, it''s been so hot, It would be better to build up slowley instead of just hitting us with the heat. I went for the chemo this afternoon and had all the talks and got the tablets, so Mo I start taking the first ones tomorrow, I have two different ones to take and some anti sickness tablets if I need them. Three weeks course with two on and one off, completely different to what I thought it would be. That's for three months and I will be checked again. It's been a busy day and I am so tired I am falling asleep writing this lol so I am packing up now.

Caz

Sleep well Caz. Thinking of you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Night night all
caz

Caz, I hope you dont get ANY side effects on the tablets, (Thats me wishing ,hoping and praying).
I hope you can get a restful night, and that the heat doesn't upset it love. <3 <3 <3

Night Night god bless Caz and Ann. xxx
