Morning all.
Excuse the rant...... Father in Law is very poorly having had surgery for stomach & oesophageal cancer and been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He's 81 and weights less than 5 stones. Had a call last night from Mother in Law - he's collapsed while she was helping him up the stairs to bed and she can't lift him - no surprise there as she's 81 and frail herself. Essentially he's gone downhill and lost the use of his legs in the last couple of days. Tried to get a home visit from a GP this morning. Apart from the usual wait to actually get through, he can't have one because....... He's not registered on their system as housebound . Oh, and, of course, there's the Covid issue as well. Someone will phone him this morning..... Time will tell. This is a guy who worked and paid his dues for nigh on 50 years. Sometimes I despair. Rant over. Look after yourselves and your loved ones.

I had to wait 17 days to get a telephone consultation with a doctor only to be told I have to book my own x-rays. We have the rain here.

Thank goodness Steve your GP is going to chat with you about your blood results, hopefully it’s manageable and nothing serious. We are going to have a quiet Christmas here. Yesterday, a couple from the UK staying our in-laws visited our pool to have a swim, both PCR tested positive for COVID. They were supposed to be flying back to the UK today but have had to change their plans as they would not be allowed to fly. Both asymptomatic but one of them had the sniffles and was very down about not being able to be back home, they live in the borders. We are keeping ourselves away from the rest of the family…. |

The fact your FIL paid in for 50 years is very impressive. I am not surprised he is poorly after having major surgery for cancer at his age, so bless his heart and all of you. Last edited by Gate Keeper; 23rd December 2021 at 11:30.. Reason: spelling |

I've been meaning to change the cordless keyboard & mouse to my PC for a while as some of the letters on the keys have faded over time through use, One of our cats has just made my mind up! It's been zooming around the living room like a loony & knocked it flying The thing doesn't work at all now despite changing the batteries in it.

Same, was planning on walking to asda from the house to avoid getting stuck at Milton Link as Asda Carpark will no doubt be a nightmare, looks like I will revert to Plan B and take car and park near to where the buses exit.... |

Got everything I need for this afternoon, my orders are to make spring rolls. Ging is working Xmas day and they all bring food in, she is supplying spring rolls . . . . or rather I am.
Need to go out again tomorrow, in the opposite direction aiming for Aldi in Portobello, see if I can get a box of clementines, don't have them in Lidl. |
