The good news is that my bp seems to be coming down

however


the doc increased the dosage of the "new" drug .......... which MAY interact with Simvastatin, the one I take for cholesterol ........... so I have to watch out for certain "things"


could be fun!!

Sylvia hope Dr appointment goes ok <3

Cynthia you will need a rest by Friday :-)

We spent today clearing the loft out 2 trips to the refuse depot - so far got about 3/4 of it done. Then its the garage and hut :-(

Found duvet covers that none of us can remember using!!

Gins you will have had a couple too so it will balance out ;-)

rumours on radio that BBC and CNN reporting .............. it's a boy!

I'm just not safe in the kitchen anytime. Fact.


Have burn scars up my arm which resemble sergeants' stripes.

Once knocked the chip pan off the cooker. (haven't had one since)

Fallen out of the back door - twice


....and that's not to mention the cooking!!!


Hope you can get your bp sorted out soon Sylvs.


Was ironing away this morning when it suddenly seemed to go very hot and stop working. Great! Mount Everest still to climb too....... :-(


Have got a little spare iron but it's not up to much so had to go and get another. Got a good one at half price..... :-D


Mount Everest has now been demolished apart from my linen skirts which I iron as and when. :-D :-D :-D


I was hoping for a reasonably quiet week.......but it's not working out like that...

Tomorrow is okay - doing shopping for my friend and then lunch with another friend.

Wednesday, it seems I have been nominated to take both grandchildren into town so that they can get some clothes for their holidays.......and, fit grandson's dentist appointment in with it!!! Son is coming for tea too................:-S

Thursday - a funeral followed by taking my friend her shopping and taking her out if the weather is okay.


I may need a lie down by Friday... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I have another doc's appointment this afternoon re my bp problems.:-( :-(



I should be compos mentis enough to prepare breakfast for tomorrow morning!!


I just wasn't safe in the kitchen last night :-(

Jock Tamsons must have been a busy lad!

Linds, I cannot understand you, even when you slow down ;-)

Gawed elp us in Liverpool, when you've had a couple :-0

Persie Love it when abroad or talking to Gins I have to try and remember to talk slowly then I am usually understood! ;-)


Gins Dr Oetker Easy Swirl cupcake icing I used the vanilla flavour not cheap but good for special occasions I got it in Asda beside all the cake decorating stuff.They also do tubs of icing that you can spread or pipe it its nice too.
Gins dreams can be weird

Dea we had our BBQ and the gannets ate almost all of it (had to do some more sausages they were from M&S and were yummy) Nice to be able to do a BBQ. :-D

Cynthia I think your correct as my lovely Gran used to say "We are all Jock Tamsons bairns"! <3

Sylvia welcome back :-D

Thank you Cynths - I am ready for that! - I could smell the bacon cooking from here !!! :-D <3 <3 <3

In exchange, I have done you some lovely porridge and you can have a banana on top if you would like <3 <3

Good morning........looks as though someone had better put the kettle on!


Especially for Dea................a nice big bacon barmcake with extra bacon and some mushrooms.


Especially for Gins......... 'eggy bread' beautifully browned.


For the rest of us.................whatever we can find..... ;-)

Well, thank heaven's for that!

I am NOT related to you :-P

OH's gt. grandfather came from Glasgow but his father was from Dysart........I think we are all related you know!!!


I've not seen that piped buttercream either.......sounds almost foolproof - which is what I need.


I have some very weird dreams Gins............and am glad when I've 'shaken' them off.


Much pleasanter today........I can cope with this.

No Linds - No BBQ - too cold and wet today so we had some lovely home-cooked mince and dumplings !! - A proper piping hot 'winters day meal' !!! ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Oooh, Ive not that icing in a can. What make is it Linds?


Had a little sleep for an hour and dreamed; Dad and Josie were in hospital and the doc was telling me to get Josie to eat or she could die.

In my dream, I was thinking she is already dead, but I didn't want to upset the doc my telling her.....how odd!

Last night when I went out the bin, I found a baby wood pigeon, big bugger but defo a baby, he had his birth fluff and couldn't fly

He was walking towards the road, so I picked him up and took him to our back garden. It's safer there and it is risen from the ground so I hope his mom and dad will see him

Gracie, it's quite cool here today 20c and we had some rain overnight

He's just popped out from the shrubs and had a little squeak...poor thing

Linda,
Well yes he was born in Scotland but his Da was Irish.
His wife was the real Scotswoman born from a long Scots ancestry through both her parents.

On t'other side my Dad's mother was a Turnbull. My dad said when she and her sister got together they would talk in Scottish dialect and the kids wouldn't know half of what they were talking about.
