What is YOUR weather like today??

Carol, its good to have a little celebration however so small or life would get dull pretty fast. I don't celebrate the big national holidays like christmas and newyears, but birthdays and the sort are a good excuse to knock glasses and have a toast or two, or maybe even three. What the heck life is short a little fun goes a long ways. Yesterday I simply took in the good weather and got very little done other than doing the wash and hanging it on the line.
 
12c with a nippy breeze......but some are saying a mini heatwave is on the way and others are saying parts of the country will have SNOW !!!! some of it has to be fake news surely......it's far to soon for snow in the UK but the way things are now it wouldn't be surprising
 
13c and sunny so far......dropping to 5c tonight .I've put all of my summer clothes away except for a couple of tees ,in case of a heatwave hahaha. I'm really looking forward to wearing comfy sweaters again.
 
The warm weather continues, temps expected to be in the mid 20's again, and I'll take it. I ordered a log splitter as it looks like my days of splitting wood with an axe are over now that I have a hernia. Not looking forward to using it as they are slow, but that is what its come down to.
 
I'm glad to hear about your log splitter Buff,it means you;re taking this age thing seriously at last .Slow's OK you know. You'll get used to it and won't know how you managed without it....13c here and lots of blue sky and sunshine, If it's a clear sky we should see another borealis tonight....not that I saw last nights mind you.....but I've seen pictures...
 
Summer is holding on with temps well into the 20's I went in and got measured up for an ostomy hernia belt. They don't come cheap but I need one as the body is not as resilient after the last operation.
I got a small hernia just after my first op ,and have worn a belt ever since , hernia has stayed the same ,just need to watch with stretching and lifting , got one with a hole so that the bag isn't squashed .
 
12c but feels warmer...had a walk over to the park to watch the annual Dog Oscars which was a nice change
and I bought a couple of books.....I really must stop buying books and concentrate on reading the ones I have collected.
Les has a hernia too ,and I have to keep reminding him about lifting heavy stuff....but you men can be difficult to take care of ,sometimes
 
Totally right about men Carol ,my wife is constantly saving me from myself ,since I got the hernia I get shouted at if I even try to lift anything,
It's hard realising that you have limits as you get older ,
Funny enough the thing I miss most is being able to hop over small obstacles without fear or effort ,
I was waiting in the aldi carpark in the car and a younger guy (mid40's) just hopped over a small wall nearby and I was jealous 🤣.
 
The problem I have is that I don't have a woman policing me, and living rural asks a lot from my body. I wonder how I managed to avoid hernias in my first 23 years with the first stoma. Maybe it was the tough love of physical work on my body that toned my muscles. But it was clear that I could see the bulge on the left side of my stoma area when I came out of the shower with the bag peeled off the other day. I picked up the wood splitter yesterday, I hope I can still use the axe for the smaller rounds. The weather is warm, so I won't be doing wood until the weather cools off, and will do other jobs including slacking off sitting out on the deck reading while the warmth holds up.
 
Rain has stopped ,had most of it overnight ,19C and overcast ,
Have a bloody cold(manflu) ,hope it's not covid , my own fault ,I stopped wearing masks in shops recently and now I'm paying the price ,
Anyway enough my whinging, hope everyone doing g ok
 
The late season warmth continues, I have been using the airconditioner and it continues to be very August like, temps up in the twentys. As you say Tony, let the axe do the work. I felt the hernia when I was forcing the axe on some stubborn rounds rather than letting it do the work which is when I felt the hernia, and then the heavy lifting of a tree that pinched the chainsaw a couple weeks ago was the real culprit. I am now waiting for the hernia belt to be made after I got measured for it. Yesterday I touched up the paint on the truck, then I will get new shocks next week, and after that its ready for its annual rustproofing.
 
It's just like summer today.We had a nice hours stroll because ,like I say to Les,frequently,we have to make an effort while we still
can .I doubt we'll get out as much as we used to during the bad weather.I can see him slowing down week by week,although I make the forth coming wintery days the reason.We get lots of joggers and cyclists down our street and I think to myself enjoy it while you can peeps......I've reach that age where half the stuff in my shopping trolly says "for fast relief" all too soon
 
Good weather continues here too. It went up to 29C, I spent the afternoon reading on the deck. I enjoy 'do nothing days' as they don't come around enough. Today appears to be a repeat. I will take it for in other recent years its been cold enough for a flurry or two or worse cold soaking rains that allow nothing to dry.
 
Another lovely day here too......no complaints. I saw the partial eclipse of the moon at 3-30am,nothing to make a fuss about and I was on my way to the bathroom so didn't have the alarm on specially......it will be a total eclipse next year.
Because of the recent clear night skies the Northern Lights have been seeable (is that a word ?) but we'd have to go down to the coast and as we go to bed at 9pm and I'd create a disturbance getting on the bus in me PJs ,I'll have to rely on viewers pics on the weather slot.....
 
Nice to have a bit of nice weather Carol , sets you up for the winter ,I honestly can't remember a "Summer"as bad as this year ,
Nice day here as well 21C and sunny after a cloudy start
 
We had another summer day reaching 28C and the airconditioner got a good run, and the deck chair too. We could really use this kind of warmth in June when the furnace often has to run. Fall makes up for the miserable spring weather that in some years overtakes the summer like Tony witnessed this year. Its going to be another warm one today.
 
The more warm days you have Buff.,the less wood you need to burn. Our heating bills are rising AGAIN next month so we might have to burn the furniture,,,TV goes first,,,utter cr*p,,,,but I'm hiding my books
 
And yet another beautiful day 22C and clear skies ,
Just trying to shake off a head cold that's gone down to my chest ,
Stopped using masks in the supermarket recently and instant karma .
 
Hope your feeling better Tony, not sure about the masks, seems I picked up more bugs when I wore the thing than when I took it off. I blamed it from the germs on my hands getting on my face when making adjustments when it itched. I put the log splitter together, and while it works well on stubborn wood, the unit is very slow. I am not sure if this unit will serve my needs, its seems better designed for someone burning wood part time. Its cooling down some, the nights have that chill again, but the sun is warm. 15C
 
14c with low cloud and having a day at home, pottering (faffing) and reading and catching up with an episode of The Walking Dead,
It crossed my mind earlier that I had never mentioned that my father in law owned a woodyard in the early days.It was a three man place dad,Les and a young'un. Before we met Les would take the orders to homes and shops etc with his horse and cart. He actually talked me into helping with the chopping (machine) a few times,to catch up with the orders,,,,talk about loves young dream !!!!
His dad gave him my wages to pass on,but I never " saw it " (excuse the pun).....that was the start of me working for him and I'm still at it....I remember my mam was horrified but I enjoyed it....

I'm doing well Bufford , just left with an irritating cough but lots of codeine is keeping that at bay ,
Hope the log splitter works out ,the fast log splitter look dangerous

That wood splitter in the video you posted Tony would be the perfect speed. It looks fast at first but if you watch, the speed is just right. I would be very happy to have one. I'll give the one I have a go, but I may have to get something like that. My wood pile averages 4x5x1.5 meters I burn through each year.
8C with a definite chill in the air.
 
14c,grey and drizzly and it looks like rain and lower temps coming ..... it's time like this when I'm glad I've got a supply of reading material on standby
 
0C this morning with frost. Back to reality with the temperatures. I moved two loads of wood. I should post a picture of my wood pile to give you all an idea of what life is like over here. People compare their wood piles like city folks do with their gardens and cars. My issue is the technicalities like how to re size pictures. Looks like a wood moving day coming up.
 
I moved another two loads of wood, I would figure that its about a cubic meter and a half in volume Then I was invited over to the neighbor for fish n chips ending a good day. They sell wood cut n split in small quantities but it would not be cost efficient, more than oil by quite a stretch. Some people buy it for holidays, or as back up heat during power outages. Since my main source of heat is wood, the wood comes delivered in full lengths in a big truck with a cherry picker for unloading. The cost is about one quarter that of furnace oil. 5C and a good day for wood work coming up.
 
It's a nice day.warm and windless,but temps to drop by the weekend.There was condensation along the edges of the bedroom windows this A.M. indicating a cool night.....I had a panic earlier as we left the supermarket.Went to phone for taxi home and my phone was missing.I did get it back as I'd dropped it on the way up to the shop.I was so relieved I gave the driver a tenner...I have £63 credit on it plus a £20 top up bonus so I feel lucky that there are honest folk around. Also I have a phone consultation with the gastro con. early tomorrow....
 
The weather is warming up again, but not as warm as last week as winter draws nearer. Glad you found your phone sooner than later Carol, its almost impossible to get by without one these days. I moved another two loads. I'm glad I cut the extra wood prior to the surgery last spring, or I would be caught with my pants down with winter on it's way. CSG you never know for sure when it comes to the weather, there may yet be one more shot of summer to come before the cold winds bear down.
 
That is for sure!!! I use my phone for training purposes at work in showing people how to access their digital coupons! Can't get without it especially when I'm working!!!

Yes Buff, you never know when the weather will change around here! Today is rainy and hasn't even hit 70 degrees at 12:30p. Quite a change from yesterday's 92 degrees!!!
 
Cold,windy and wet........ an indoor day again...and so it begins !!!

Looking back at the successes and failures in my life.and they are are legion, I can't help
but be proud that at least the potty training thing has stuck
 
Looks like another dandy summer day coming up, I moved one load yesterday and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon in the sun. It hurts when the weather turns for the worse, at this time of year summer is limited, for Tony summer might be done, we are next so enjoy it. Carol, I have to agree, but I am not so sure about the potty thing when living on the bag. Good thing for the outhouse, no need to elaborate. 14C sunny.
 
Yeah enjoy every day if you can , had the most enjoyable day yesterday getting a root canal ,by a student dentist ,only way I can afford it ,
Wet day today 10C
 
A cold wind with short sharp showers ...a quick bus ride to the shops and back within the hour.
I had a dental apt. for mid Nov. but got a txt asking me to re-book,so now it's Dec. and I broke a tooth the other day
which feels like a sink hole,but was told I could phone in IF it gives me trouble and they'll TRY to fit me in.My dentist is only doind 2 days a week but listening to the blub on the phone it seems that A COMPANY has taken over and they now do private work as well as NHS...I've been a patient since 1990 and they've had plenty of cash from me but because I'm, OLD I'm deemed fit to wait because they know how difficult it is to get in with another surgery and it's the only one in this town.I'm going to look on Amazon to see if
I can get a temporary filling kit,just in case.......rant over
 
I only go to the dentist if it hurts. I used to go regularly, and my teeth constantly crumbled, and hurt. As the cost of living outstripped income I simply stopped going and my teeth stopped crumbling and hurting. The cleaning only served to speed up tooth erosion. Remicade, cipro and Aza made my teeth go black. Now that I have been off the meds, for years now my teeth have been stable and fairly good color. I can bite with them, even though the dentist was surprised by the number of dead teeth that pose no issues. I just make sure to use mouth wash after each meal, and brush well before bed time. Maybe it was the Scotch, but I stopped drinking Scotch after the operation in May, so I will see what happens as time goes on.
Summer goes on, expecting a high in the mid 20's.
 
Nice day here today 16C and sunny ,
That's crazy you have to wait that long for a dentist Carol , I could always get an appointment with my dentist within a day or two if needed ,the problem is cost ,
I was lucky there's a dental school only about 20 miles away and if you're will to be a patient 😤 for a student you get the work done at a fraction of the cost ,
I need 5 crowns two bridges and 2 root canals , privately this would cost me around €12000, in the dental hospital it's 3000 so worth the extra time it will take , its well supervised so no worrys there ,
Knowing my luck I'll kick the bucket after it's done but I'll be a handsome corpse with a lovely smile 😙.
 
A really cold start early on but turned out nice....got the bus down to the weekend market ,only three stops but it does help a bit.'
Had a quick look round but too many people so only stayed a short while,long enough for me to buy ANOTHER book by my fave crime author (2nd one this week) then had a sloooow walk home with a sit in the park on the way.
 
It was hot by summer standards yesterday, I had to go in for supplies and an appt to have a cv joint replaced in the driveshaft of the truck. I waited in the mall and had a burger and an ice tea for $14 lousy dollars, highway robbery, the repair bill look small by comparison. Came home and sat out on the deck enjoying the weather. By mid week reality is returning with temps back to normal. I recall at one time having my teeth cleaned at the college dentist program. It took them forever for the cleaning and the young hands were rough from inexperience. I only go to the dentist if I really have to which has been for well over ten years.
 
That's a lot of money for iced tea , hope it was good , and it's nice to have a treat every now and then , but I felt your pain ,
It's a crazy world we live in where if you just want a coffee or tea you are given so many choices at really high prices
 
The coffee shops here are highway robbery, but one would not know it for the traffic coming and going from those places. One can make coffee at home for a fraction of the cost. Yesterday I put the new wood splitter to work, and was surprised at what it could do, its slower, quiet but it gets the job done. Its not at all like the machinery I worked with when I was young that ran fast, noisy and had no safety features at the local sawmills.
12 C change is in the air.

That oldie sounds like the chopping machine my darling fiance/husband encouraged me to use back in the day....love knows no bounds.....13c and raining now at 5-30pm...hospital tomorrow with Les for his prostate blood tests.Taxi booked and shopping list written for afterwards....weather permitting.It's not urgent
 
There is a definite chill in the air this morning with a stiff breeze blowing, can you claim the firewood that landed in your yard from your neighbor's tree Tony? I'll be working on the firewood effort, I want a couple of extra rows of wood on the pile as I expect that back order from mother nature that failed to deliver last winter. 8C
 
wet and miserable but one apt.done....Thurs.Covid and flu jabs. Hope the broad band is up and running Tony....personally,I'm not a fan of the internet and will not have a smart phone BUT I have ordered an emergency tooth filler from Amazon hahaha
form an orderly queue guys.
 
Hey Carol , opposite here today and its lovely ,17C and sunny ,
Our budget was today and got some nice cost of living cash bumps ,
Are uk pensioners really being denied winter fuel ? Or are they just not giving it to people with plenty of money , our fuel allowance is means tested and we get about €1000 for winter fuel as well as electricity credits 🤔
 
We get a few crumbs back in terms of tax credits, but then they claw it all back and then some in taxes. We get nothing for home heating but rather taxed for it. Well over half the cost of fuel are taxes. The only social safety net is burning firewood, and that provides the funds needed for food. I got quite a bit done yesterday and feel confident about the coming winter.
7C gray with a passing shower.
 
Good to hear you're sorted Buff ,it's far better than panic-ing at the last minute eh?
It's been a nice day here today, 14c and sunny .Les pottered out the back sorting plants and clearing rubbish before it
gets too cold and wet,and I did an awful lot off faffing indoors, ,if there was a prize for it I'd be the winner.
Going for our covid/flu jabs tomorrow, a bus ride away along the coast ,a 15 min ride,so not far and free with our bus passes,
though there's a chance they'll take them too.They're saying the last Government left them with a billions of £s back-log so the old folk are being robbed 'cos they're no use to the country now . They were happy to take our taxes etc. for 50yrs+.....who started this conversation ??? it wasn't me hahaha
 
I could go on about politics too, but as they say its unhealthy, but so is holding it all in. Its better to let it all air out. I got the phone call that my ostomy hernia belt is ready, so I'll get it next week. Hopefully I can lift more than just a piece of wood and a chainsaw, I still have the airconditioner to pull from the window. I used to store it away, but for years all I do is lift it from the window and place it on the table below, where it can sit there till next summer, its too heavy to move anywhere. Funny how these things get heavier all by themselves every year.
 
Hope all goes well for you Buff!!! 79 degrees and beautiful today, helps too that it's the last day of our weekend!!! Anymore, the closer it gets to fall it usually will be rainy on our weekend. Got to enjoy it while we have it!!!

Also, today is injection day for me. First time doing it on my own at home. Just warming up the medication now and getting stuff ready to go...
 
Yeah Carol the conservatives really seem to have feathered their rich friends nests as usual and the Labour Party have to do the dirty work to sort it out ,
Still can't believe the UK left the EU ,I really think ye would be better off in rather than out ,
Hope the hernia belt gives you some security Bufford, I have mine on most of the time and it works really well, hope you got one with the whole for the bag

The injections are easy enough to do yourself once you get used to it , hope it goes well 🤗
 
14c,sunny and calm.......Helped Les finish off out the back....still a bit to do but some of the plants are still flowering
;;;;Scott's back home in Aus. after his trip to Thailand....he wasn't overly impressed, and he said there were lots of Russians there
on holiday...not invading
and they weren't very nice. also him and his wife both got a bad case of Delhi belly and there was a landslide behind their
hotel which killed some people so they were glad to be home.....no place like home eh?
 
It was -2C this morning, I put the fire on last night after a long day of it yesterday getting supplies. A nice day coming up with the bright warm sunshine. I'll have to decide do I move wood or cut n split more wood. I think I have enough now for the winter. Tony the belt has the hole measured for the size of the bag I use and fitted for my body. I am looking forward to it, perhaps I can get back into the canoe again. Glad the weather has warmed up X stitch gal, the long term forecast looks warm and dry here too, I am a winter person, but now I am not ready for winter, and may not want the snow given how limited my lifting ability is at the moment.
 
Injection went well yesterday. However, found out that injection day I probably shouldn't do any strenuous work after having one! Ended finishing some laundry & was outside helping my husband trimming back the grapes. A little sore after that. Oops!!!

Very wet & rainy October day today!!! Much different than yesterday, about 45 degrees right now.
 
Do you ever have a day where you have NOTHING to do Buff ? and I don't mean when you just sit thinking about what you SHOULD be getting on with.....have a peaceful Sunday my friends, I am. We're practicing for the winter days ahead and just sitting here picking the fluff out of our navels......not each others.

Its wet and cold, so I don't think I will do much Carol, I will service the oil furnace this afternoon, but that will be it. Yesterday I got a lot done with the wood effort yesterday, taking advantage of the dry conditions while they lasted. From lunch until supper I like to do things, but mornings all I do is faff them away reading the news and things on the laptop, while waiting for that trip to the outhouse to happen.
 
Sure wish I could do nothing!!! Gotta go into work today for an 8 hour shift.

But, biggest thing I've been doing lately is getting some cards together with the scents and names of the solid perfumes I make for coworkers and friends. Plus, am getting ready for all that solid perfume I'll be making for Christmas since time is starting to get close for me to start cooking. But, this is actually a hobby of mine and I enjoy doing it!! So, if I can settle down to do all this I'd be happy when I get time to do it!!!
 
16c with a few short showers.We had a nice walk earlier, but as usual we were glad to get home....I did a bit of unplanned faffing this morning
involving step ladders with Les hovering "in case I fell " which really helped....NOT
 
The weather is nice today after the mess yesterday, it gave me a chance to rest up, but I did the oil furnace. I will pick up a new nozzle for it when I go in for supplies, as the old one has a lot of time on it, but good for a spare if needed. I am going to have to remember to call my sister, as its her birthday.
 
Nice enough today rain sent your way Carol 🌧 , mostly sunny 17C , but when the sun goes in big drop in temps ,hope everyone is doing OK, I'm creaking a bit , but like my old uncle John , a creaking door makes a lot of noise but seldom falls 😀
 
-2C with a heavy frost, the aurora put on a good show last night, they were bright enough that I could see without a flashlight. It was chilly this morning and the cat and I cuddled up in bed and I got a good sleep for a change. I feel the same way Tony, that surgery took a lot out of me, the body is just not the same anymore. At least it starts and runs.
 
Same as yesterday 12c and raining. The damp must be seeping into my bones as I feel like somebody has set about me with a baseball bat so after lunch I'm not moving off this chair until bed time...except for bathroom visits of course,
 
I got the ostomy hernia belt yesterday. Its something to get used to, but it should improve with use. I find it comfortable when standing and doing things. It gives me confidence when lifting, but its uncomfortable when siting especially while driving. I'll give it a go this afternoon with the chores.
-3C this morning, a sunny day coming up.

I feel your pain Bufford , hopefully we'll get back with the energy levels ,
my first op took a good eight months to recover from but I was really on deaths door before it ,so we'll be raring to go for the new year ,
I am napping more in the afternoons though ,no nap today was back in with my Canadian dental student ,its cheaper but it takes a while ,
Hope anyone down Florida way is safe and hunkered down ,looks like it's gonna be a bad one .
 
showers this morning but nice and sunny now, if a decidedly noticeable drop in temps....
bad news for Florida....it must be awful to have to leave your home not knowing if it will be still be there
when you return....there's been lots of floods locally due to two days of heavy rain...drains blocked with fallen leaves don't help.
 
I was the same Tony, I was hours away from death due to infection at the time of my first surgery which complicated the recovery process, and the second one this year was a breeze if it were not for aging, slowing the healing process, and now the hernia.
If it were not for the storms, Florida would be the ideal place to live in so many ways, but no place is perfect. I have no strength left to make a move, so I will continue to deal with the cold winters, the wild fires and the sky high cost of living found here until the grave, otherwise if I was younger, hey it would be great to try something new and fresh. The idea of not having to constantly feed a furnace wood is appealing. There is a price war going on for fuel, so I'll be taking advantage of it, and maybe a treat for supper.
 
A bright sunny day but cooler and just the way I like it....Buff,I'm of the same mind as regards moving house.
I'm very organised and efficient but I just couldn't muster the energy now...unless I won the lottery and I could just sit back and
let someone do it all.....I think you have to buy something called a lottery ticket first and pick numbers or something,and I don't even have the energy for that today........forgot to mention we had a walk into town earlier and I couldn't beleive my eyes...... they're putting the Xmas lights up in the town square !!!!!
 
I went in and got a good price on gasoline and filled the jerry cans so I am good for awhile, but I will have to return at some point for furnace oil. The traffic was terrible, with traffic gridlocked for blocks, with most traffic lights broken. They promised to synchronize the antiquated traffic lights years ago, but many just sit on red for no traffic. It got my afib going, and I had to lay down and rest after getting home. We had another good display of the northern lights last night, a strange night as temperatures rose to 16C at 3am. Its still warm, but the north wind is picking up.
 
Gone cold over here ,had to give in and put on the heating over night ,sunny during the day and around 10C but around 2/4C at night ,heating oil is expensive 93c /litre that's around $3.50 us gallon , but way down from about 130c two years ago
Hope everyone is doing OK
 
That is a bargain Tony, They advertised furnace oil at the reserve for $1.24 liter by pumping it myself, it costs a lot more to have it delivered. Last year I paid $1.44. No break for the people, the federal government will ratchet up the carbon tax again next year. That carbon tax is about inflicting as much financial pain as possible to break the average person. They have succeeded, many on low income and seniors sit it dark cold homes throughout the winter which is why I am forced to burn wood. On the upside, our prime minister is still stumped as to why his party is now the most unpopular in Canada while he constantly flies around the world on the public dime sunning himself in front of the news cameras and lights.
I finally got the courage to lift the heavy airconditioner out of the window, it went well, I simply set it on the table beside the window until next summer. There is no way I could carry it over to the closet. 0C overcast. Back to the wood effort later.

At least the choice ye have is better than south of the border , forgot to say the student dentist I have is 🇨🇦 there's at least 3 of them there studying,
How's the belt working out ?
 
I moved another two more loads of wood, the belt helps Tony, my internals have more or less returned to where they should be and for that there is less aching pain. I only wear it when I am active, but its uncomfortable for sitting any length of time, too much pressure on the gut when sitting. I'd have to totally disagree with saying the choices here are better than south of the border. On my income I could live like a King in the USA, its probably still the best country to live in the world despite their issues. Its one of the few places where government is not constantly controlling people's lives. We were once quite free like the Americans, but no more.
2C Gray. Fish n Chips tonight.
 
Supposedly it's supposed to rain this evening 69 today and 58 tonight. But, if so it's sure sunny right now!!! Who knows what our dart board will come up with!!! 😂

Been seeing some blood lately and yesterday wiped it. Today I'm wiping blood too, which is pretty frustrating. Oh the wonders of premenopause, gotta love it!!! At least I haven't had the pain or the frequent runs like I did before. For that I can be thankful!
 
Its been a slow day, the weather is keeping me inside for the first time in several weeks. 3C with drizzle which stopped later, but not inviting to go outside when everything is dripping wet. I have a chicken breast marinating that I will have for Thanksgiving dinner. I watched the Europa Clipper launch this morning, it went up perfectly. But I doubt I will be around when it studies the oceanic moon of Jupiter in the 2030's.
 
Dull day here 10C with a nasty wind ,
Love watching spacecraft launch , always been a big sci fi fan ,
Don't know about you Bufford but my surgeon told me I'm good for another 20 years and if he's lying I'm coming back for him ,
I bet we'll both be watching images from the Clipper in the 2030's 🚀
Hey Carol ,hey ✝️🪡👧
 
Finally a good night's sleep without the pains, feeling rested for once. The skies have cleared, but its chilly with a dusting of snow on the ground -3C. Its a reminder that the snows are not far off, and I must finish up the wood pile. That's great Tony, my surgeon told me that I maybe coming back sooner, but said to her 'naw, I my now late surgeon told me I'd be coming back too, but I out survived him, so it might be awhile'.
 
Great that you got a good night's sleep Bufford, since my doc put me on Seroquel @25mg at night I'm sleeping like a baby , maybe even too much but being honest i earned a few extra hours in bed for all the nights I spent in pain in the toilet .
 
-3C clear and calm. I made a big breakfast this morning, bacon, eggs and a couple of pancakes. I'll be on the wood pile this afternoon, might as well take advantage of the good weather while it lasts. A good night's sleep is a fleeting thing for us chronies, some of those nights in the toilet are like experiences of war. Like I mean the bombing of the toilet, and the associated collateral damage cleaning up, even worse when it goes beyond the fringe area. Then afterwards trying to get some rest. Getting good sleep is winning a round, and not easy given the odds.
 
Well despite yesterdays forecast for today it's a 16c warm sunny morning with not a breathe of wind,
it may turn nasty later though,so we'll have a walk to the park while the goings good
