Afternoon everyone
Well it's been an adveturous day today.
Woke twice in the night with that awful dizzyness again. So appointment to see the nurse at the Drs.
Lost a filling last night at daughters so appontment at the dentists too.
I was given the same tablets as back in June for the balance problem, might take 6 weeks to clear if it doesn't back to them for a change of plan.
Then to daughters more painting etc. We are getting there slowly but surely and they both seem pleased with what we have done.
Dentist was OK had a temporary filling, need a permenant one on 15th Dec, if we aren't too busy sorting out a wedding reception. BUT I nearly fainted in the chair ooops!!! As she lowered me backwards I came over all "funny", sat me up and gave me some water. Then I was OK but didn't go back so far for the filling.

Back home now obviously, feeling a bit flushed and not quite with it.

Have a nice evening everyone

Linda xxxx <3 <3 <3

I took a walk this morning as it was nice out and made an appointment for my warfarin blood test at the doctors for 6th December then to the Dentist to make and appointment for Monday afternoon. the worse job is entering the appointments into my books The Desk Diary, then my handbag diary, then the wall Calender then two appointments cards get pin on the notice board in the kitchen in case I forget.

Afternoon I took a short cut and went through on last date.
I have not been out this morning accept to take the recycle stuff out for the dustman to collect.
I have managed to write my Chrstmas cards out, and sorted the Christmas presents out for the family. so that is another job out of the way.
trying to email my dentist has been a nightmare four times my email was returned a failure yet it went though eventually but still heard northing.

I have been waiting to see if one of my grandsons postings come through. I am praying it is not Afganistan again. he is in the Royal Engineers and gets shiffted all over the place.he looks so smart in his dress unitform .

I wish they war would be over in Afganistan all these young men cut short in their lives .I feel sick when I see another soldiers face appear on the TV been killed. I use to send parcel out to the young men. I knew their regiments and the were rifle men from Yorkshire they lost so many of their regiments I use to sit and cry. This is the first year I have not sent anything out.

3 of us posted together there............. :-)

Home is the sailor etc !

All went well.....as well as one can expect at a funeral.

His brother, also a former Royal Navy Officer , did the Eulogy....a fitting tribute to Tommy.

And so life goes on. !!!!!!!!!!!
