Yawn yawn - wakey wakey..!! Mk 4

Morning Everyone,

Bit more sunshine this morning thankfully. Should be better for Shiney's Open Day.

Thank you Kandy. I am religiously doing the exercises they have told me to do but I am not hopeful of it resolving the problems. After waiting 7 weeks for my x-ray results they showed wear and tear and degeneration of the spine in the lumbar region. Not a lot can be done for that except as they hope to strengthen the muscles around that area to hold it up so to speak!

 

Well done on yesterday's successful day lets hope today can be equally as successful Shiney. Thank you also for your good wishes for my health.

 

Good morning everyone,

Its warmer today....but overcast and feels like rain.

 

Good morning to everyone on this BH morning:D

It is dull out there this morning and rain is forecast for today but at the moment everywhere is dry but still windy.We have had the heating on again because it has turned colder.Roll on summer:D

Shiney,great news with the money raised for the charity.:yess:Do they use the money for play and learning equipment or is it to keep the place running?

Moyra,I know where you are coming from as I have been there done that.Try to keep going with the exercises as they will help.I've just been prescribed Piroxicam Gel that I have to use three times a day but can only use for a month and I am finding it very good.I was told by the Dr to get some Glucosamine which I have just got but it also has Chondroitin in it which I am not sure is ok with my meds,so will have to ask about that one:DSwimming is a good exercise to do for strenthening the back muscles but best ask your health care team first

We had to buy a couple of Butternut squash plants yesterday as ours have stopped dead due to the cool weather and at this rate it will be September before they are large enough to put out and I sowed them at the begining of May

Hope you all have a lovely day and enjoy it with family or friends

 

Hi Kandy, Cannot take the Glucosamine and Chondroitin orally as it upsets my hiatus hernia. I have tried the 'rub' but it doesn't seem to do much good. Get on better with the ibuprofen rub, much better. I am sticking with the exercises and not finding them onerous at all. It's a lovely day here and I have managed to stick and tie all my sweet corn plants.

Have a good day everyone.

 

Good morning everyone,

Welcome everyone to another beautiful day blessed with lots of lovely sunshine and blue skies and birdies singing:D

Moyra,sorry to hear the Glucosamine doesn't agree with you.I am hoping it does me some goodThis gel is working quiet well and I am once more pain free but after the month of use is up will have to perhaps try another type.We haven't been able to put out our toms or sweetcorn yet as we have been battered by strong winds and yesterday we had rain for most of the day so couldn't get any work done either in the garden or on the allotment

I was hoping the wind had dropped but we still have it breezy out there at the moment but it is going to get hotter again by the end of the week:yess:

Have a nice day everyone

 

Morning all.

We've got a lovely blue sky here today, and after all of yesterdays rain, it's much appreciated, I've lots to do outside today!

I'm hoping to update my `Turning over a new leaf thread` sometime this week, which reminds me, I must get the camera out, or it'll be a pretty useless update!

Shiney, I'm so glad that your Open Day weekend went well, it's wonderful that you do that.

Hope everyone is in fine form today, have a good one all. xxx

 

Morning Everyone. Another beautiful morning here. Shiney hope you have recovered from all your hard work over the weekend. Well done you and Mrs Shiney - that's a brilliant achievement for one weekend!

 

Good morning everyone,


Its a HOT day here, heat advisory in effect, and supposed to stay this way all week.......better then rain for once!

 

Good afternoon everyone from the sunny middle part of blightyalthough we still have the cool wind with us.

Shiney,we have already been out and got two replacement plants as they are supposed to go in the ground this week but mine are so far behind they will be another few weeks before they are large enough to put out so we might just scrap them as only Mr K eats the fruit anyway.:D

We wanted to do the Lakes this year but when we tried booking at the usual site in January with the lovely views,all the best pitches were gone and they could only offer us a pitch lower down with a good hill walk up the shower block so we have left it this year and are going to Ceredigion{Aberaeron}for a week,then we are off down to Cornwall on your birthday so we doubt if we will be down your way this year,but Thanks for the offer:D

By the way,did you know that Mark Weir had passed away?He was the owner of Honister Mine and crashed his helicopter on the way home from work.I have left a tribute from us on the Julia Bradbury website.I kept meaning to tell you but it kept slipping my mind:wallbang:

 

Good morning Kandy and everyone,

Lovely and sunny here this morning and we only have a slight breeze so it does look this time like we have lost that strong windy type stuff that has been messing about with the trees etc this last few weeks and making everywhere feel quiet chilly:D

Shiney,Mrs Shiney and Oscar good work with the amount raised at your open day etc and by the looks of things the charity will be able to put the money to good use and that it will be much valued

Anyway,as the sun is so bright i am going to have to move soon as i can't see what i am typing so had better go and make a start:D

Have a good one everyone and try not to get too burnt
