You are so right,at one point I felt as if I was stood on the bottom and it was quicksand,
The sun is shining here so I am gonna stick some marigolds on and do some more pruning.xxx

Da, Do, Ron, Ron.
Just my little Cristals joke, @Ron11 .
Just took Katie for a blood test. FIVE medics, all togged up in plastic aprons and purple rubber gloves. Even I was intimidated.
The deed was done, though.
I feel like a Bad Mum, allowing them to do it. I just wanted to insist that they do it to me instead, even though I know that isn’t the point.
It took ages, they took six containers full. It seems the doctor has ordered tests for everything known to man.
Right, I am off to iron my hands a la Dobbie the house elf.

5 medics? They obviously have experience. Anyway done now. Any rude signs?
I feel like making some to my health centre. I can’t get out without assistance and nobody I can really ask but can’t get them to treat me as housebound. One of my carers has same issue with her mum who is 90 and can hardly get out of bed.

I am a quivering wreck, though.
One mini triumph was that when I came home I actually reversed the car into the carport. That is a first for me, I prefer going forwards! That is the good news. Less pleasing is that the postman brought a whole stack of letters. One of them is notice of a planned power cut. 9 am until 4 pm. Not funny when you are all-electric.
Thermals and vacuum flasks will be deployed.

So glad you and Katie have survived the blood tests.
It makes me ashamed of myself, the fuss I make. I usually say ouch before the needle touches me.
Next time, Saturday actually, covid jab, I will think of you and Katie …
.and I’ll probably say ouch before they touch me 
Love and hugs

They had to hold her arms down, so no opportunity for her favourite rude signs!

Be a good, brave girl.
You can have a Chinese take-away and some lemon drizzle cake afterwards.
It worked for Katie!

Nothings changed then,
14 years ago they said my father-in-law wasn’t housebound.
Because he was picked up at the door and taken to his daughters. He was 92 and very frail.
I’m sorry Sandra, I wish I could help
Love and hugs

Oh wow, that would work for me too.
Unfortunately I’ve got to tolerate fish and chips at my friends.
4 of us meet up on a Saturday for lunch, and wine. Well 2 of us have wine the other 2 are a bit boring. For our birthdays we have fish and chips so its my turn this week.
I will think of Chinese and lemon drizzle though perhaps that will help

Perhaps you should learn Katie’s sign.

The problem is, Liz, her brother has supplemented her signs with some naughty ones!
She knows they are naughty, so does them all the more.

I had my jabs last Monday and cried buckets, not from the jab just because my beloved should have been there too.
Went to the Doctors today and cried buckets again because I was there so often with my husband.
Should be going for a knee X-ray but not sure I can face the hospital as well. I’m on a real downer today.
