I'm the belly rubber Ron,dogs only that is ,and cats,well anything with 4 legs really.so give your woofer a belly rub from the UK.

quite a nice day here.Not cold or wet, so no complaints.
 
Not working today, I always know when I wake up (that's a good start) I either feel like crap or a lot worse. In the second catergory today . When I don't feel good my lower bp reading is always over 100 and my blood sugars are always over 8 , they were. No use trying to work. It is a cooler (under30c) day with some light rain. I will relax and watch some golf on tv. That means I will fall asleep in front of the tv and wake up at some stage with my left shoulder covered in drool. Not a good look. Been tearing up all morning. Some days it just gets so hard to keep going.. Ron.
 
I hope your sad mood has lifted a wee bit Ron.If you sleep,then you need it,and if you drool,well who doesn't sometimes ?

Not a bad start,had a little walk along the coast.Just got back in time before the heavens opened.
 
Sunny but cooler, only 28c. Bp was 130/105 today. Doctors always ask is your bp machine old , no doc this years latest top of the range Omron , oh ok.bs was 8.5 ,slowly rising . Slept ok but still tired when I get up. Will do some much needed maintenance on the ute then I might go to the mens shed for a while. My grand daughter turned 4 yesterday, cute kid. My son and his wife built their own school in the southern Phillipines . They are living their dream but I worry about their safety and the safety of my two grand kids. They do what they have to I guess, Ron.
 
Sunny this morning, abscess receding but I'm incredibly tired. Not had a good nights sleep in ages. Shall appreciate the sun today, not that cold either.
 
sunny and cold......but clouding over slowly.
Hubby is making space for my bike ,which he's getting for me tomorrow.

Not a good time of year to take up cycling,but by the spring I might be in the Tour De France (or on crutches,it could go either way,as could me on a bike)
 
Ron...it's our job to worry about our kids.We're not doing the job properly if we don't.

And I bet they worry about you more.
 
I did not get a lot of opportunity to do much with my kids they were 4 and 5 when my wife decided to find a new husband (by road testing everyone she met). I have never commented to the kids about that side of her nature. Sadly she has painted me as the bad guy . My son put a post on face book this year for fathers day "happy fathers day mum". Crap happens ,It was cloudy and quite pleasant this morning and My 4wd has a lovely new set of fan belts and I have a lot less skin. They don't give big blokes much room to get hands and spanners in where they are required. No squeaks now . Nice...... Cool and cloudy again tomorrow , liveable. Ron.
 
Oh Ron well im impressed u didnt diss ur ex to the kids. Kudos to u. Shame i cant say the same for her eh !!😕 Sounds like she wasnt a grown up at all there.
49f n abit windy but dry ☺
 
A thousand things I would love to say but I'm not going there. I would love to have the love and respect of my children but it won't happen and I have no guilt about anything that happened. Sometimes things just are. Another cool day for here I paid today for my work yesterday. every time I sat down I went to sleep. Cool again tomorrow and some showers perhaps , I hope so. Ron.
 
Blowing a hoolie,but quite mild none the less.No rain here YET !!! Tried to hang out some washing but had to give up and bring it in or it would have been to hell and gone.

Ron you're not alone with family problems.As they say, " You can choose your friends but not your rellies" mores the pity.Mind you,I've had my share of crap friends too.
 
Looking at the news this morning there are some very Australian like scenes of wind and deluges happening in the UK at the moment hope you all stay safe and dry, Ron. Fine , mild and sunny here.
 
Calmer today,but a cold 7c.Yesterdays rain missed us completely,but some homes have been flooded again.So close to the "festive season" too.
 
Apparently our cool break is coming to a close and we have another wave of heat coming. It was very hot in WA over the last week. Ron.
 
G'day Christi, Same here in Australia. We are into ElNino on the east coast and three quarters of Qld is in severe drought. We have had a little rain in the south east corner but the rest of the state is in a terrible condition . Birdsville in western Qld had a high of 47 today and a low of 35. We are looking at being ell into the 3ocs for the rest of the week and weekend. Ron.
 
Our son in Aust. said it was a "cool" 30c yesterday.Although he suffers in the heat he says he doesn't think he could cope with our cold winters now.Compared with other parts of the world,I would class the UK as temperate,though the poor folks who have be flooded out of their homes would disagree.

Today is 8c and grey but perfectly OK.
 
Sounds like the poor fellow has acclimatised. I was born here and I still haven't. There again if I was well I might feel ok but I am not so bring on the next ice age. Ron.
 
The heat has moved in again, low thirties c today and building to the weekend. A big inland trough has formed from the gulf of Carpentaria to the NSW border. Hot northerlies from the gulf to the border and a line of storms moving slowly east. Humidity has been around sixty percent the last two days making it seem a lot hotter than it was. Ron.
 
Cloudy all day and a few rain drizzles this evening. I wish we could get some good precipitation here also, instead of once in a while teasing us.
 
Hot steamy night and a hot morning so far. Heading for 34c on Saturday and storms again. Fires causing problems in Victoria but they had a cool change overnight which is helping. Struggling with the heat, my BP highlights it up over 155 this morning,,,,,,,Ron.
 
Yes Christi the only rain we are getting at all is storms and half the time they are dry electrical storms or hail instead of rain. we are heading for 35 c on the weekend with the possibility of storms again but little or no rain. The graziers out west are appealing to anybody who has a property with unused feed to please harvest and bale it and send it out to them. A lot of vege farmers with end run crops have been doing it and apparently the stock love it, Ron.
 
11c breezy and dry so far.Overnight rain forecast ,but heavier in the west again.
Those poor people,it must be soul destroying.All their possessions are piled up in the street.mud and filth halfway up their interior walls,no power and everything that means.
And here it comes again !!! Hopefully not as bad this time,but that's no conciliation.
 
Hi Carol there is always a debate here on which is worse the fires or the floods. Some say the fires because they leave nothing and at least with a flood your home is still there. The other group argue that at least you can fight a fire , you can't fight a flood and if as in recent years your home is swept away there is nothing to go back to. If I had my d'ruthers I'd rather neither . Commiserations to those who have lost loved ones and possessions to the storm made worse by the fact it is winter :( Ron.
 
It's too bad they can't average out the fires and the floods. It seems that would solve a lot of problems.

Here it is unusually warm, I believe we made it to the sixties yesterday, and today should reach the high fifties. I understand a drastic change is in the works within the week.

A farmer in the area lost a herd of Fresian cows.One was swept 20miles down river and was found chomping away on the golf course.Another 2 were swept over a water fall and also survived.He got 42 back and only lost 3. I expect a lot of wildlife suffered too.Rabbits and hedgehogs and moles etc.

7c and dropping,but it's been quite sunny today.
 
Personally I'm a lot more scared of fire than slowly rising water.

Where I lived about 15 years ago was flooded. I was in a first floor flat fortunately, but my car was written off. The poor people downstairs were evacuated in the middle of the night by the fire brigade and the flats were still empty when I left 4 months later. It's surreal seeing the street you live on under 4 feet of water, and even stranger that it was all gone about 8 hours later.

Windy and overcast here, and it rained quite heavily at lunchtime. Still relatively warm for December.
 
Two retires, both millionaires were talking about how they got their money. The first described how he had been paid five mill in insurance after his factory was burned down in a fire. The second described how he was paid thirty mill after his factory was swept away in a flood. There was a stony silence and finally the first guy asked "ok, how the hell do you start a flood?". We may be wishing for one today, it was 32 yesterday and they upped the forecast to 35 today. Strange country , Australia and the west Indies are playing a cricket test at Bellreeve oval in Hobart Tasmania , they have forecast snow today ( The windies will be hoping for a blizzard , Aust scored 433 for three on the opening day) Ron.
 
I will have to change from C to F one day soon.
5c very bright and sunny,but when it's low in the sky at this time of year it nearly frazzles my eyeballs.I had to pull the blinds way down while cleaning the kitchen.

This is NOT a whinge mind you,just a statement.

Have had probs getting on when this site isn't being jiggled about. So I have missed you. Tis a lovely sunny day though a tad on the cool side.

Hi D., I was wondering about you and was going to email to see if you were ok.
Welcome back.Hope you're unpacked.:)
 
hahaha, no I'm not unpacked yet. But it's getting better. I decided to settle in and try and get out a bit. So I did a free astronomy course, did an art course, a craft course and a brush up for post grad study course. I certainly didn't get to all of them but that's the nature of Crohn's, as you all know. Think I took on too much anyway, what with hoggie caring too. thank god 3 of the courses are finished.
 
Congrats Spooky ,well done with the courses. I am currently thinking of joining what they call university of the third age . It is ongoing education for oldies . I need something to take my mind off being unwell all the time. The current heat wave , 35c yesterday, has just about put me down and out. When I go to bed I can't sleep and when I am up I can't stay awake. We have a bit of rain falling today and the temp is a mild 30c. Ron.
 
I remember checking out U3A before I moved here, then found lots going on in the village and then the university one. I will continue art next year and the craft one. I shall try not to do too much, but I might check out u3a again. I always find a course, even online is a good focus, esp when not well.

Slightly better weather today for you then, Ron. Enjoy it whilst it lasts.
 
Well done spooky. 👍 proud of you hun 💕
go for it ron it would be a good distraction and a notch on your educational belt 💕
39f n dry at the mo. ☺
 
Tis raining out and really glum, and I've let a hoggie run around the lounge as I don't have any real flooring to worry about, now he's behind the book case. omg, he squeezed himself in there. What fun.
 
Partly sunny and 6C with a high of 8C forecast for today. Mild temperatures for this time of year - we'll take it.
 
After heavy rain it's now snowing,but hopefully the ground is to wet for it to lie.
There's a Christmas Market on in the town square but we'll wait and see what tomorrow brings.
 
Only got to 23c today. No rain just clouds and drizzle . Going up again tomorrow to 30c . It can't help itself . Well after twelve ,I should be in bed. Nite ,Ron.
 
!c/34f (?) Dry and fine so going for a walk to the Victorian Christmas Market in the town square,then back home along the riverside.

Is that warm for this time of year?

A bit more seasonable here today 3C with a feel like of -1C and partly sunny, although not too cold to do some ribs on the BBQ tonight.

A bit of a mess on the way for Monday / Tuesday - anywhere from 30-45 mm (1-2ish inches of rain) for folks in warmer locations to 15-20 cm (6-8") of snow.

Yes it is
 
The world has decided to fix our climate but we won't start till 2020. Am I missing something ? 32 c today and a bit hotter tomorrow, wonderful. The first 15 or so high school sewing machines are due in this week . That's good , might as well be hot and bothered. Spooky do your hogs get tame at all or remain rebels ? Ron.
 
Expecting a major snow storm for the next two days! YAY! (Just glad I don't have to deal with the morning commute.)
 
Hot again today , another trip to the doctors. He is going away for Christmas so I had to stock up on targin to continue my taper . Down to 25/30. It seems like it is taking forever. I asked today if it was too early to just stop. He just said DONT. So no early Christmas and hotter tomorrow. Ron.
 
I went into hiding like my mischievous hoggie. Actually dialled 999 for myself as I was in agonies. Waited 3 hours, had 3 people phone me with exactly the same silly inquisition on all my details and my situation. I mean, WTF, as if I could speak easily when in that much pain I could hardly breath! Might prefer to drop dead next time, I'm sure it's easier than dealing with a 999 call centre.

So I'm now home and in agonies (not as bad) the hospital I went to were angry that I got a st john's ambulance. They did bloods and x rays and spoke to the general surgeon at Oxford and so I got a fast ambulance there. They dealt with it the best they could, was on tonnes of tramadol and given loads of laxative, the last two sachets this morning, then they said I could go home (50 miles on pubic transport by myself). Omg, it's gonna be as bad as Derriford.

Good news is I'm home and the moggies and hoggies will get fed properly, my dear neighbour thought I only had one hoggie. So 3 will be rebellious. The littlest hoggie, little David, quite likes his lug holes tickled, his spines lay down nicely as he likes to be stroked, and he likes to be stroked from his snout up to his forehead where the spines start. He's very good really. The others have spines grown so long and strong I have to use a magazine to pick them up, bit like replanting a cactus.

Diabolical journey home, and yes it rained. Glad to be home and on my own loo.
 
Well, so far about 5" of the 6 to 12" total expected out of this storm. There was not an ounce of snow on the ground beforehand. I'm glad I don't have to drive in it.

Geez Spooky what is wrong with the medical profession don't they get it that there is constipation and there is obstruction. I just can't understand a situation where they get out your file ,which is three feet thick , then treat you like this is not only something new but could well only be your imagination. When I had cancer it was a notable disease and I was put on a register of cancer sufferers. After that for five years everything I had was checked out from a cancer perspective as well. After five years cancer was forgotten by the system. Same with constipation , when I went on oxycodone (targin) the naloxone was supposed to stop opiate induced constipation it didn't and absolutely no thought was given to previous operations like pieces of colon missing , gall bladder missing and all of the adhesions and blockage points that go with those ops. I don't think that they understand that the pain levels that go with such events make it almost possible to function, Idiots. I am so sorry that you had to go thru all of that spooky it just isn't fair. My nephrologist understands . He said that the drug he most often prescribes is laxatives. I don't know what you are on but my medicine chest is full of movicol , coloxyl and ducolax and I have been told I can use up to five sachets of movicol a day , two dulcolax and two coloxyl with every targin dose and when in doubt call an ambulance , Hugs Ron.
 
Aw Spooks what a mare . So sorry you went through that n hope u feel better soon hun. I love the hoggie stories n fact i want to meet them now . They must be so cute aw bless them . They are lucky having you 💕
 
Way too hot for me this afternoon, hot again tomorrow then it will cool down with some drizzle ,no real rain tho, for a few days. Then it is back to heat. Adelaide and Alice springs have been over 37 for a few days so we can expect that to move slowly east for next week... I don't think I will ever see snow in Christmas again. I saw it on Christmas day in Canberra many many years ago. I thought it was ash from a fire till it melted. Ron.
 
Sandy has all of that lovely , cold white snow. Carol is grey, damp chilly. Can Christi and I come and visit till our hot weather goes. Just jokes , you would never get rid of us. Hot and cloudy today but only 28c for the next couple of days. I suspect from the heats in the west, it always our way, that we will be having a very hot Christmas day. Ron.
 
Ditto what Mandy said Ron.
We had over 2 ft of snow, they said the biggest snow storm in over 14 years. Yay, we needed it desperately. Cold and snow stopped now.
 
Wowser!! 2ft of the white stuff .lucky if we get 2inches where i live, i think the deepest i can remember was 6/8 inches .
55f n drizzley today 💕
 
Just read in paper that we are due subtropical air from the caribbean today n it will be the warmest xmas day ever. Sunglasses may be in order !! Could be above 15c... well i will believe it when i see it 😃
