RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ian When I had my detachable retina done, we showed up at the hospital in good time. The receptionist asked if I'd eaten anything. Then told me that I would be going right in as several people had shown up that had eaten, including one full English breakfast. Then they let me go home without any meds and I went to emerg later that week with an infection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Morning All, It is a chilly morning in this part of the world. The temperature is down to around 1°C and it has rained overnight. Thankfully, the roads seem to be fairly well gritted! Time for a coffee. Have a good day everyone... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good morning all, Quite frosty here and a cold dry sunny day is expected. Bin men are about and making plenty of noise. "We need to get to Sainsbury's early as there's a lot to do today." "Aye aye Boss, I'm on it." I'll be back later. Have a good one, Early shopper of Sutton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AndyB Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Morning all, Had a chance to test out my latest acquisition last night, in part paid for by an M7. Similarly green but consisting of 4 inter-linked coach-like items of the Boletus edulis variety. A fun day with spreadsheets beckons, after a heroic hour or so battling traffic; actually I just sit there listening to BBC Radio Surrey, tbh, and pray no-one drives into the back of me. That's whilst driving, not playing with spreadsheets, you understand. Have a nice day everyone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 We have had our first snow fall of the winter. OK it’s just a few large flakes and it’s not settling. Trains running a few minutes late but suspect that’s due to other issues. Ours was 16 late at on point due to delays getting out of Lttlehampton depot but after missing quite a few stops it’s only about 4 minutes late and quite empty. Didn’t sleep too well during the night. Boo. However It’s our Friday today. Hooray 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good morning all from a rather chilly village. My speech seemed to go down OK last night and at least I wasn't asked to pay for my dinner and did win a raffle prize of an Oakwood Boo on the WC&P railway. At the moment breakfast is about to be consumed but I am having to be quiet whilst the boss watches last nights dreary news from the so called jungle in Oz. As my stock of brownie points is rather low at the moment after successive weekends at Wakefield and Warley I am keeping quiet. Beth is off C*******s shopping today and is meeting a friend at the White Rose centre. I suspect that the ironing will get done whilst she's out. We've got an estate agent coming to look round the house later. Apart from that there's not a lot to do apart from the annual C*******s letter so I may even get some free time. Regards to all and stay safe out there. Jamie 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good morning one and all Apologies for lateness on parade today. I woke late from an uncommonly sound slumber only to find bad news overnight from a friend. There is seldom any other kind, it seems. Today I am to visit Poorly Pal, complete with wok and the makings of a veggie stir-fry. Tonight there is a talk by the well known photter John Hunt [not the one who conquered Everest, ye ken]. I need my porridge and will return tomorrow. Warm thoughts and best wishes to all in distress and recovery, today including a particular friend.

Coombe Barton Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Rather cool this morning with white dew. Just been to scrape SWMBO's car. Mine will be done just st before I set off in half an hour. Likewise, spreadsheets summon - and then writing how to do them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon G Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Had a really great catchup with my former work colleagues over a nice meal last night. The two and a half years since I had seen them just rolled away. Very cold here this morning. I will spend part of the morning breaking up old window frames, that I have stored in the loft for 30years as I thought I might make them into cold frames. Being wooden ones, I will use my power planer to remove the paint and they can then go in the woodburner. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Mooring Awl Inner Temple Here, An awful night's sleep, about 3 hours followed by 5 hours not dozing on the sofa. It's been raining hailing snowing all night, the big puddle is at its maximum extent, water is running down the road in large quantities. When I took Ben the Border Collie out an hour ago I got very soggy as did Ben, much of the grass is covered by a slushy mush. Needless to say I'll not be working outside today except that I may do some working on the electrics in the cab of the landrover. The rest will be spent in the shed, first fitting the hinges and locks to the post box doors. Then another coat of paint. Then I may get some work done on the layout transport cases....

Debs. Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) That reminds me. My ex did the voice for one car manufacturer's sat nav; from experience I'd advise not disagreeing with her. Following my throat surgery last year, i was unable to speak at all for several months..............{this space intentionally left blank for the jokes!} ...........but, I used a text to speech 'App' for the duration, which was very helpful and at least I had some kind of voice, even if it was only Google`s default female voice; I became so familiar with the sound of the new 'me', that my brain sort of adopted it, and now, whenever I hear a Sat-nav or device that uses that particular voice, I immediately think "why am I speaking those words?!?!" .........neuroplasticity is a amazing thing!

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 We have shopped!

Breakfast is next and then I believe that Management needs assistance with things domestic.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) I was up quite early this morning. I didnt realise how frosty it was until i looked on the north side of the house. Some cars are still covered in frost. I will be going out soon with Robbie. He couldn't get himself out of the back door this morning and he resisted being helped. We all got out unharmed. Poor dog's coordination has deteriorated a lot since yesterday. The vet did warn us this would happen. Still hoping more medication is the answer. This will be the first time we have driven to our locsl vet. He has always dragged me there before. Back later.

RMweb Gold Popular Post The Stationmaster Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2017 Morning all, Immediate thought of Debs continuously instructing me to turn left at the next junction after I put the route into the satnav the wrong way round - that taught me to not use the satnav although I do like the moving map display which can be very handy at times. And so to today - it's cold outside with a proper job frost and Mrs Stationmaster and the Good Doctor ventured forth dressed for Arctic conditions enroute to the British Library and its Harry Potter exhibition. In the meanwhile I have been duly conversing with Harwich in respect of bookings for next year's trip on the briny; bookings officially opened at 09.00 but when my call was answered at 08.58 it was obvious from the background noises that others were also interpreting 09.00 in a liberal manner. TH seem to have changed their method and have computerised the bookings into a single document which only one person can access at a time so I spent a total of 22 minutes on the 'phone making bookings for two cabins in August and one in April - the easiest bit was paying the deposit (well sort of easiest, I think I got the office junior but she was very helpful). The rest of the day is now mine to waste my time so i must think up something to do which I'm not normally allowed to do - hmm. Have a good day one and all. P.S. John (CB) many thanks for mentioning 'Pages' the other day - duly downloaded yesterday and already found to be much better than the dreaded Word when it comes to various things such as format and paragraph numbering etc 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Morning again. The ironing still awaits as I have been on the phone to the Inland Revenue. I wanted to know why they've sent me two different tax codes in days. The young lady who was definitely not numerate, told me. "Oh they're both out of date we posted you a 3rd, 200 points lower, 3 days ago". They have obviously totally screwed up the addition of my old age pension together with the cessation of my Carers Allowance. I eventually got through to a supervisor and she has agreed that simple maths shows that something is wrong. Why someone can't do a gross error check in their head I don't know. I know I'm sounding like a grumpier old man but words fail me. I suspect that I need some good loud rock music to calm my nerves whilst I wield the iron. I will not hold my breath waiting for a sensible letter from HMRC. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Morning all from Estuary-Land. Bright but very chilly this morning but snow is predicted for later. About this time of year I take the ferry from Tilbury to do a bit of C*******s shopping in Gravesend but the weather being like it is it might not happen this year. The usual Thors day dawn chorus of the bin lorries this morning has been and gone, well the bin bags have gone from the front of the house. Not a lot else to report, be back later. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 Morning all. Robbie and I are returned from the vets. The probable reason for what appeared to be a sudden deterioration in his coordination condition seems to be labyrinthitis. Good sign is that he is better than yesterday. The vet said she isn't surprised he doesn't feel well. Aditi had labyrinthitis some years ago and is Very sympathetic. So hopefully we should have a less wobbly dog soon. Hydrotherapy postponed tomorrow. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purley Oaks Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 They are St. Magdelene. The distillery in now a block of flats. I came across them in a small whisky shop and knowing the distillery was closed I took a chance. I paid £24 each a good few years ago which took a bit of justifying at the time. I realise the price I saw was in a whisky shop in Edinburgh and so inflated but auction prices when they come up for sale, which is not very often at all, are still quite high. Good investment! I was in a Waitrose a few years ago "just browsing" and got chatting to the wine shelf-filler. He mentioned that they has some Snow Phoenix in and that I should buy one as an investment - they were £50 - so I picked up three bottles, which seemed a lot at the time. All are still in their tins in the box and are now close to 10x the original price, can't believe it. Whereabouts is St Magdelene's from?
