Beautiful walk along the pier this afternoon Polly loads of    but a chilly wind coming off the sea, gonna be reet chilly tonight.

Morning all,
clear blue skies down here today at last!, So after 3 weeks of rain we are going for a long walk along Bournemouth promenade, get it in before back to work   

Bright sunshine here also, wife is shopping today so I will load my camera stuff into the MH and take to the woods with some seed for the birds.  The sigmonster should get me some close-ups and action shots before the rain returns in the morning.  Been stuck in the house for a few days now and am bustin' to get out.
Enjoy your walk in Bournemouth.

Hia

Yes looks as though the sun is shining on the rightchess
This morning 
Looks like Izzy and I will make a break and get out for a walk and keep dry

Grey skies here and a bit breezy on my walk to the end of the pier and back.
Didn't drop below 17 degrees in the night so quite mild. We are sheltered here from the wind even though we are only 200 metres from the sea.

Colin and I went to Saltburn for some fresh air Thursday. Viewed the damage to the sea front caused by the tidal surge last month. The tide was in and quite 'angry' with the spring high tide. Stayed only long enough to enjoy fish and chips then we came home as we have not been well over Christmas and the New Year.

Sorry you have not been well Joyce - good job we didn't pop up from Wetherby at New year

Back home from New year and in between storms -van emptied and drained down

Have to wait till 23rd to see doctor about my hernia - not a happy bunny!

Peter I had planned to come and wake the Wetherby campers up on New Years morning about 8am but didn't think I would be appreciated. Besides it was warmer at home  

Sorry to hear you having to wait till 23rd for doctors appointment.  Have you tried ringing for a cancellation telling them you are in a lot of pain. Worked for me when I had problems with my ankle.

white out here frosty morning going to fit winter cover today that's it till it warms up a bit

Sounds as though you had a good night out Polly  
If only you could remember 

Another dark day here with forecast of 70mile hour winds and heavy rain.

Was Dads birthday Saturday and at the rate he is going better get an application form for a telegram from the Queen.

Good morning all, well its been a while since I was up and about at this time of morning and it's quite mild and less windy this morning for how long is anyone's guess.

Off to see the doctor this morning as my spinal x-rays have arrive on his desk and he wants to see me this morning, must say I am a tad concerned.

Morning all,
very windy with yet more heavy rain in the night, although seems to have calmed Down now.
good luck at the quacks today Bob.

Good luck Bob, hope everything is ok

Well back home again and the news was better than I was dreading, the disc's in the top of my spine around the shoulder and neck are collapsing and it is this that is causing the pain, sadly its just a follow on condition from the back problems I have had for years so it will be carry on as usual and keep popping the pills. I have to book some physio at the hospital but it will have to wait until we return.

So now I can relax and enjoy the forthcoming trip to the  

Glad it is not effecting your travel plans Bob, you will have to get Barb to give you some"physio "to take your mind off your back   

Hia

Yes I am just about feeling back to my normality

But I must admit I did enjoy the Jack Daniels with honey

And on Sunday I did check Facebook and on here for post I may have made while intoxicated and thanks Ken for removing it

Couldn't sleep Mike so came on here to see what I had missed 

I appear to have killed this thread   

Perhaps I should resusitate it so-

Good Morning Homers   We have thick freezing fog here and very cold.  At least it is brighter than the last week or so when daylight has been very dim.

Morning All,
proper frost this morning!, now glorious   .
but don't worry the rains back tomorrow with more flooding   

Morning all 
Just travelled to daughter in laws - passed through freezing fog at -1c and arrived to bright sun at 6 c
All in 30 miles !!!

Was cold here this morning but not freezing, its forecast tonight though   

Good Morning Homers.

Another frosty foggy morning here. Fourth frost of the winter.

Hope the sun comes out this afternoon like yesterday.

Drs this afternoon.

Hia

Morning all

Weather here in Stocky is a little non descript

Hia

Oh dear I have a problem

This is serious

I have lost a knitting needle 

Around 3 o clock- 10. O'clock when I needed to change the size of needle

I have looked and cannot find it

It must be at my daughters


So  now I can't do anymore knitting

Yes this is serious

Following on from the one or two mentions in this thread of visits to the doctors.
I had a routine visit myself yesterday afternoon, no changes needed but was given (or so she thought) prescriptions for a YEAR  .  I said to the doctor (17 year old girl, well she looked 17) that I had been to the practice quite a few times in the past few weeks because my oldest son contracted scarlet fever and was very ill with it, firstly it was diagnosed as glandular fever because the symptoms are similar but when his blood test results came back it was confirmed as scarlet fever, very nasty indeed.  So several trips to the surgery on that front, followed by a couple with my wife for routine stuff.  Each time there were only 2-4 people in the waiting room and we were seen very quickly which I found surprising due to previous experience with this busy practice.
After getting my prescriptions for a YEAR[/size] it became clearer, if all routine patients are now seen yearly instead of half yearly the result is an (almost) empty waiting room which is good.  On the other hand you now have to rely on diagnosing yourself before deciding a visit to the doctor is necessary, possibly no change there either for most of us but I think I would be more comfortable being checked (BP, weight, heart rate etc.) more regularly than a YEAR.  Anyone else have this economy foisted upon them?
Cal
PS
When I got home I counted the prescriptions and there were 14, so the 17 year old can't count either.

Polly I feel your pain     if you lived nearer I would bring you loads of needles.  I use Knit pro circulars so can't lose needles anymore.   

Could you use a needle either a quarter size smaller or larger.

Only a knitter would understand.

Whilst waiting in the Drs surgery a lady came in and promptly started knitting. Wish I had taken mine cos I was waiting half hour to have BP checked.

Hia

Joyce a few years ago I gave all my knitting needles away 
Yes gave away

That was a silly thing to do

But going back found a pair that I can use but the missing needle as not shown up either at mine or my daughters
Yes I have checked down the side if the settee will check underneath tomorrow

Goodmorning all.

It isn't frosty this morning. - probably because we have had heavy rain all through the night!

Polly I couldn't give any of my knitting needles/patterns/wool away. I have a couple of my Grandmas knitting books which I am told are valuable. I remember grandma knitting using the patterns and fine 2ply wool

Hia

Joyce 

Yes a one of my foolish moments
Had a couple of them

Anyway

Of to B&Q to buy some paint for the kitchen
Not saying I am going to paint yet just getting ready

I glossed a few weeks ago so I will be ready when I get the urge to paint the walls

Might have to buy some paper incase I get the urge to wallpaper instead
