When I asked why she hadn't bothered to turn up het response was priceless.. " I didn't have the time yesterday"! There are about 3million people in the group currently being vaccinated. I should imagine there must be a few members of that cohort who are “difficult”. MiL went for hers and was very impressed with the organisation of the procedure. Those who didn’t turn up may have been responsible for some of the medics in our family getting left over about to expire jabs. Tony 12 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post 45156 Posted January 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Afternoon All Happy Birthday Mike - you share it with our nephew, though you have a few more circuits of the sun under your belt than he does. Again, mucho skipping as I just can't seem to find the time to keep up, so all I can offer is generic greetings to all ERs. Strange day here today - we were planning to get the next fodder run on Monday, or possibly Tuesday, then it came back to "probably" Sunday. We have about a centimetre of snow here, if that. Yesterday, 30747 decided that "we need milk" and disappeared to the local shop, which never closes, and it was .....closed. So without telling me, she walked to the Co-op about half a mile distant and got some there. It did worry me slightly, as I wasn't aware, and I was concerned that she might have slipped and fallen, Luckily not, she was just waking cautiously. Anyway, back to today, I was passing by the dining room door, when 30747 called out "did you hear that?" - silly question as I was in the hall, and she was listening to LBC on the radio - and she heard that there was a yellow snow warning, which she didn't hear where it was for. So out with the laptop, and onto the met office website where the forecast for the next three days was no snow, and a very gradual increase in temperature. But no, LBC must be right, and the met office wrong, so the car was scraped and warned up, and a noon trip to Lidl ensued. Still, it means that tomorrow we don't need to go. However, we are running out of space to store things - the fridge and freezer are full, though at present, just outside the back door would be equally chilly as the fridge, So possibly back tomorrow Regards to All Stewart 3 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2021 Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Just been watching some of the old Carry On pics on ITV3. They may have aged well but they are still very much of their time. They could never be made in today's PC climate. Not been doing much else today, just rubbish on the box but I've still got some puzzles to catch up on. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sir TophamHatt Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Evening all. The person who enjoys taking over my role has done so again a fair amount today. They're just a nightmare... said they'd be coming in late due to a hospital appointment, which now turns out to be tomorrow. Still, they had time to stop in and pick up lunch! Just don't know why they don't take the easy role and chill out for the day. At least they haven't criticised anything I've done Baby TH had a tumble yesterday and cut... well, it's not his eyelid but the bit just under his eyebrow. Didn't do much crying about it but got back to playing pretty much straight away. Hoping he'll be a fighter but it does give me bad thoughts... what if he falls and pokes out his eye? Or falls and chops off his hand? All part of parenting I guess. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted January 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2021 Evening. A late call mostly to wish StationMike a happy birthday, which I had somehow overlooked. I suppose my sleep patterns have often been disturbed in my life, at sea watchkeeping is in two, 4 hour groups, so say12 noon - 4pm then 12 midnight to 4am (plus any 'overtime', stand-bys etc, usually another 2 hours after your watch. Or 4-8, 8-12. so sleep. eating, drinking etc is all done twice a day. When I came shoreside I worked full shifts for several years too, before office work became my lot. I used to sleep OK at first in that, perhaps until I was in my late 40's when things started to slide a little, then after the hip issues that started 10 years ago at 51 became steadily worse. I have only slept one night through in the last 8 years, and its not getting better. Smashing my left foot to bits in a walking accident was the cherry on top.....pah! Fraggle Rock has seen road accidents all day as it has been very icy, the Frags are not used to this so of course don't slow down or take due care, as they know they'll be OK. Similar to covidiots I suppose, it won't happen to them. 2 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium polybear Posted January 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2021 Bear has just been watching the TV Drama "Casualty" on BBC1 - the first time I've seen it for many moons. It was the start of a new series apparently, and dealt with the effects of C-19 on an A&E Dept. It should be compulsory viewing for all those f.wits who think the rules don't apply to them. 7 2 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2021 Evening all from Estuary-Land. Still watching TV. Watching 'Drain the oceans' on National Geographic, its fascinating looking at wrecks in their entirety. At the moment they're doing the Spanish Armada. 10 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched it yet i may download it i dont wztch the bbc out of principle for their bias and the fact they want to rob over 75s of their pension just to peddle poop whilst cutting regional programming on both tv and radio 4 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if it drips on me it isn’t hitting the floor. My hair is whiter than the ceiling. White white would be a bit much in our house so all the ceilings are almond white which is less bright. I can’t see myself doing any decorating in the immediate future though. 16 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichill16 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Evening All, First of all, Happy Birthday to the Station Master, and I hope he enjoyed it. Not much of a day really, took Mil for a walk late morning/early afternoon and though the day started out clear there was quite a bit of the white stuff before we got home. Missed the first 20 minutes of my football match which we lost 1:0. Not surprising really, Norwich are top of the league and despite our lofty position within the division I don’t think we’re playing that well. After tea we watched a film from Amazon Prime. We picked it because the film featured a border terrier with a passing resemblance to Syd. The film wasn’t particularly good, something of a romcom, but the dog did play a nice part so I looked her up on IMDb. It’s amazing what you can find on that website, for instance you can find the phone number for the dogs agent! Anyway I found she also featured in Wonder, a film also staring Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson so I thought that should be a decent film. The film was both sad and heart warming and that had nothing to do with the fact that Gidget (border terriers real name) didn’t make it to the end. Anyway, Goodnight.

We all face those moments where our parenting does not prevent an accident ( or worse , causes one) and we all feel awful- that’s because it’s the last thing we would ever want. I remember accidentally hurting Elder Lurker in front of my parents; I felt terrible long after he stopped crying and I guess it still comes back to me now the best part of 18 years later...! 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
