Morning Kath & Lovely Elizabeth <3 <3 :-D :-D

Kath, sometimes it's good to have new eyes look at an issue especially when it is medical <3. Hopefully, the new medication regime will help and make you feel more comfy <3

Maddie, hope you have your gamp as it has started raining here :-0

I can take or leave opening ceremonies as they seem to go on forever :-0 Although I did like the London 2012 opening ceremony and watched it from start to finish :-D

Morning all :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3

Very grey here and rain promised shortly :-(

I was awake at 6am this morning but unlike all you early birds I turned over and went back to sleep :-D

Met my new doctor yesterday. She seems very nice but I was glad my son was with me because she speaks very quietly.

I've got a stronger water tablet for two weeks and a week's worth of antibiotics for my leg and my diabetic medication has been increased from 2 tablets a day to 3. I have to have a blood test in a fortnight to check my kidneys are o.k. and another blood test in 3 months to check on my blood glucose level. She seems very thorough.

Hopefully she won't want to see me too often as I try to stay away from the doctors if I can.

Wish we had a Sparkles nearer to us. The three nearest to us have all closed down.

Enjoy whatever you are doing today. I'm getting my hair cut but I don't have to go out as the hairdresser comes to me :-)

My neighbour used to listen to children read once a week, Gwyn, she enjoyed it too but I could not do it. I only enjoyed school at the infant level, after which I hated it. :-(

I think I generally enjoyed school, particularly making great friends.

I was more of a 'steady progress' person, rather than a high achiever.

My time now in school involves just sitting in a chair listening to children read (Year 4, so 8 and 9 years old) and writing a few observations and encouraging comments in their Reading Record, - a small home/ school book which records their progress.

Hardly taxing for me, so I enjoy it. ;-)

Enjoy school, Gwyn. Did you like school when you were young?

Morning Joy :-) <3

Washing out already :-0
You have excelled yourself today !

Like you, I woke up early and then ended up making a cuppa.
I'll get my breakfast soon, before heading off to school.
I think we're in for a very wet day, although the sun is shining, at the moment.

Cream cakes with a friend?
Sounds a great plan to me... Enjoy :-D

Morning all. :-D <3

Could not get back to sleep this morning so I have a line of washing out already. Just as well because the forecast is for rain this afternoon by which time, I hope, my washing will be dry as there is some sun at the moment.

My bestie is coming across this arvo so I may nip out and get a couple of cream cakes from Sparkles. :-D

Have a good day everyone. :-D <3
