Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Morning Helen,Walnut and everyone

I haven't been up long so I am just sitting here with my porridge and strawberries eating and trying to type at the same time :D

It is only 42F here and I expect it will be feezing cold out there.

Walnut I am still doing the stretches and go to see the Physio lady this aftrenoon at 3pm,if it is not cancelled yet again :rolleyes: I am 1,000mg of Parecetamol four times a day which helps slightly.I drove down to Tesco's yesterday and as soon as I walked into the store after sitting in the car the pins and needles started and the pain in my calf acted up again.I had to walk round the store leaning on the trolley to support myself....

I read in a newspaper that there is a new thing called Inversion Therapy where you hang upside down for a couple of minutes a day on a piece of equipment and gravity gently pulls everything back into place.I shall ask the question this afternoon if they are any good.

Yes Helen the full moon is very bright at the moment,but I bet by the time the next full one comes round we shall have our first frosts.I think winter will be early this year.

I will post some piccky's of the hedgehog when I can sit here for a bit longer.I over did it the other day,when putting up my holiday photo's

Have a great day everyone

 

morning everyone, its very cold here to, looks like its the start of the winter arriving.
kandy hope your therapy goes well and your not in too much pain, wish i could suggest something for you, its very difficult with back problems.
hope everyone has a nice day

 

Good morning, morning folk. A bright 19 degrees here but even I am out of the shorts and into the cropped jeans!

Lovely moon here last night as well ... we were at the International Sand Sculpting Festival and it was spooky. Besides me having all my new camera gear with me, I forgot the memory card ... ... so had to resort t'other half's camera which was already half full of music so didn't get all the photos I wanted, ie, night shots plus the moon. Such is life.

Off shortly ... have a good day everyone.

 

morning LoL, shorts its freezing here ohhh lucky thing.all booked for goa going for 7 weeks got my shorts packed :D
sounds like you had a nice time at the sand sculpting looking forward to seeing your pics anyway.
have a great day

 

Good morning Friends.

Well the rain has finally stopped and today is cold and damp......it definetly feels like Fall here today!!
Hope everyone is well and having a great day !!

Take care!

 

Morning guys.

Lady I'ave seen one of those sand sculpting festivals and I have to say the things 'they' manage to make from sand are simply amazing!

Not much happening here yesterday went to the movies (again) which is quite a joy to go whenever we can although people talking and kicking your seat for most of the movie is not fun at all....some people have no manners at all !

Talking about manners it seems there really is getting a lack of them these days, little things really have started to bug me like being in a supermarket queue and people not thanking or not putting the 'next customer bar' down for the next person.

Another one is holding doors open for people and them not thanking you for it...this seems a HUGE problem in Newbury each time we visit!

Is it just me or do you guys have the same pet hate?

Have a nice day even if you are an old misery guts like me! :D
Helen.xxx.

 

Hi all, Kandy I hope your therapy went well check your blood pressure is ok if your thinking of doing inversion it is good for back problems allows the spine to relax helps to ease pressure on trapped nerves wether it's suitable for your problem I don't know,I do my sit ups on a board inclined at 75 degrees with my feet under a strap helps keep spine flexible, also do them over a rolled up towel you can get one of those curved lumbar support jobies that does the job and aligns the spine whilst doing it.Still in shorts over here LoL weather has to be really cold before I ditch them.Helen I was brought up to have manners yesterday I legged it back to some supermarket doors to open them for a young lady with a pushchair heading that way, she did thank me which was nice but to be honest it doesn't bother me if they don't I do things to make me feel good about myself and I put the divider in on the conveyor belt (arnt I good).

 

Sorry good morning Helen.

 

Good morning Helen Walnutand all sleepy posters

Walnut, when the Doctor took my BP last month when I had that sickness bug it was 130/80 usually it is around 130/68 or 130/60.I think it had gone up slightly because I had to wait 40 minutes before I got in to see him.They always make me wait tut tut.

It chucked it down with rain when I went for my torture treatment.It was 25 minutes of pure hell and brought tears to my eyes I can tell you.No wonder I was told to take strong painkillers before hand ..ouch.I spent the night getting some heat into my bum and felt better by the time i went to sleep but now sitting here it feels quiet sore.She wants me to go next Tuesday so she can keep the torture sessions quiet close together,that is if she doesn't go sick again. I can't have the proper Physio done until the Pirriformis has been put right..

Marley thankyou for the links.They look quiet interesting.The Physio lady wouldn't say yes or no about them,just that they are expensive.I don't suppose they are allowed to say anything in case I buy one then if I have problems,I could say that it was her fault for telling me to get one.Nobody wants to commit themselves these days...

Halen,don't start me off on good manners.If I had a pound for everyone who never said Thankyou for presents I send them or doors I have opened and lots of other things I would be a Millionairess by now,and it isn't always the youngsters who are like that..

Well that has put the world to rights.Hope you all have a great day when the sun wakes up

 

Good morning, one and all.

The sun is shining although there are a few clouds and it's 21 degrees already, so I guess it's the shorts again today, walnut.

I always hold doors open for people, young or old, if they are about to go through just after me. In the grocery store I let people go ahead of me if they only have a couple of items (I only shop once a week so always have a cart full) and I always get a thank you in return.

Enjoy whatever you may be doing today ... and remember to smile.
