It was a game of 'hunt the emoji' and I found the one I wanted almost by accident. I suppose the next job is to find some more threads [is that the correct term?] to follow. Such playthings have no place in the serious arena of RMweb but I just thought I would mention it. ...snip...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. I have done very little since this morning except the aforementioned bath followed by eyelid inspection and then brunch. I had put the old shower hose back temporarily and tried to fit the new one just now and found that it wouldn't screw in beneath the taps. An inspection revealed that the threads were clogged with limescale so they're soaking in the limescale remover. The old hose screwed back easily but the threads on that are worn and corroded and thats why it leaked. Thats it for now, be back later.

Unfortunately this I can agree with, although it's didn't really start becoming apparent till after I was fifty.. All my current aches and pains are results of sports injuries received between 15 and 40 years ago.. Edited January 12, 2021 by TheQ 5 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2021 I've found the problem with fitting the new shower hose. I went to move the packaging and out dropped a couple of washers. Insertion of said washers and everything went together perfectly. Even the new shower head clips onto the holder. 10 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 Like Bear, this little brown bear suffers with fingers locked of a morning. Doesn't matter if the they are curled or straight, but they take a few wiggles to loosen up. The onset of this co-incided with they bad weather and worsening of the hip and foot issues, but the vet reckons it is not old Arthur causing it. There's no grease nipple on them so not sure what is next. They're not swollen, just seized. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be responsible for global warming next.... Sorry. I really don't mind squirrels in the garden, as they appear only on an occasional basis and don't do any damage as far as I can see. The table bird food is beneath an upturned wire mesh kitchen vegetable basket (with a few bits cut out to allow starling-sized birds in. I'm sure a squirrel could squeeze in there, but might have difficulty turning around and getting out again in a hurry, so I doubt they spend much time there. Mainly they hang upside down on the black sunflower feeders, which is ok as they go for the lowest ports which can get a bit clogged in wet weather. Hopefully the squirrels keep the seeds 'flowing'. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BokStein Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Good Evening Afternoon! (Forgive the error; I've been put on shift working due to C-19; nearly eyelid inspection time!) In wider circles, and based on previous comments, the interaction of ChrisF and twitter offers the potential for an extremely large can of worms on which the lid should have been weighted down heavily rather than just prised off, as seems to have happened. Respect and Best Wishes, ChrisF, for applying the can opener. Elsewhere, 4 hours ago, Winslow Boy said: Yes distraction pain. Kick hind paw against concrete post. When pain subsides kick the other paw against said post. Repeat until either paws are broken at which point present oneself at nearest vet and ask for painkillers. Alternative places to inflict pain are available but principle remains the same. Edited 4 hours ago by Winslow Boy Grammer And Spillung? 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solutions on a postcard, please..... Sorry no post card but it might be worth trying a chiropractor - if you can find a good one. In my experience they can be rather good at sorting out body problems with muscles and bones that the ordinary Doctors can't or haven't got the depth of knowledge to deal with. Or as my GP recently said to me duringa telephone consultation 'I think the best think you can do is talk to the chiropractor about that'. That it turn explains why I have now got 4 little pins in various parts of my shoulders rather than the two the chiropractor put in on my previous visit. but be warned - if you've got a paw pain theres a fair chance a chiropractor will stick his elbow into your hip and then lean on it hard enough to make you growl very noisily. Such torture does not come on the NHS and it won't necessarily be cheap but some health insurance policies (such as mine with The Transport Hospital Fund - many years ago the L&NWR Hospital Fund) will repay your expenditure on such treatment. Chiropractic treatment is always worth a try in my book but it can occasionally bring tears to your eyes. 3 1 11 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, she's certainly located "something" there, every time we go she stops and digs deep into the snow at the same place. With it 8+ inches deep she often is almost entirely buried in her attempt to get whatever she can smell! 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
