Morning folks
Here we are again starting yet another new week, can't believe how quickly time is passing .
Saturday we had a beautiful day, yesterday locally very heavy rain and today it is a beautiful but chilly day, the weather pattern is quite peculiar but in some places quite mild.
Tomorrow I am at the church hall clearing out the cupboard where people who somehow manage to get a key just dumps things, they don't clear it out, they wouldn't buy rubbish so why deposit their rubbish on us thinking it can be sold at a bring and buy or bazaar of some sort.
Had the bad news yesterday out microphones at church and the whatever they need is going to cost 28K to replace, I have no idea where that sort of money will come from, I guess us fund raisers will have to pull out all he stops and get working, as if we don't work hard enough already
Have a good week everyone and rest up those who have had procedures recently,
LM

Hi All
Well, I put a jinx on the weather, it has gone from glorious sunshine and lovely Blue sky to overcast Grey and rain.
Viktoria, I do hope you can clear your sinus troubles, my Dentist told me to brush at least twice a day, I think he was hoping the brushing will massage the gums a bit too. Don't make them bleed though.
I have been told about the humming since and the benefits of nitric oxide being anti-viral etc., so keep trying and eat well, eat oranges, squeeze lemons and mix juice and fibre with warm water from the kettle, not hot it can destroy the full nutrient benefits. If you add pure honey, only one teaspoon.
My gums were full of inflammation and took 24 months to recede one side at the back and longer for the other side.
Yes L.M. & Caroline, the young people of today moan and groan, but it was just as difficult back then to buy your first home!
We had no film of our meeting recently on zoom, only the sound.
My Gastro Consultant says cook from fresh, my word Caroline £75 won't buy a week's shopping for me if you have to have it delivered and that is having it delivered early or late for £1.
Yes Gillg it is annoying, Women can earn more, my neighbour works in a Chemist and earns more than her fella, so he is a Home Dad, looking after their child most of the time.
I had top qualifications and started applying with District Council's and got a job 30 miles away with better propspects.
The council never conducted business like a private industry though ???
After about 8 years with the council, I was diagnosed with a Fatal rare Brain condition at 39 and given as little as 5 years to live.
The Doctor knelt at my bedside to tell me. How humble is that for an NHS Doctor to kneel at a patient's bedside?
If I can live about another 18 months I will hold the record as the longest survivor of this brain condition who survived just over 26 years. I am getting quite amused over it ;D ;D
But from my 1998 symptoms, it would appear I had the condition then and I was questioned at length why when I reported to my Doctor, no scan was ordered.
Very high arch feet can also be another sign of neurological problems, hence the Doctor's interest in my feet.
So L.M., my Neurologist pipped you to the post regarding an interest in my feet ;D
I do try and pray daily and had or found some of what seems the best advice on diet from various parts of the World.
All the best and get well soon, Mark

Praise to St Antony of Padua- the Patron Saint of Lost Articles!
Many months ago I prepared some notes for a talk I was giving on our trips to Australia to the local Chapel Friday Club. All went well with the prep- with many hundreds of photos to choose from and many stories to tell. In the prep I had the help of many booklets which we brought back, one of which was an extremely well illustrated book prepared by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) entitled Walking Melbourne.
A while after the event had taken place I needed the book for some other research which I was doing but...............I could not find it. Where was it? Had I taken it to the Chapel and was it lurking in one of their cupboards. No! Try as I may Ijust could not lay my hands on it. Heaven forbid, did it go into the paper salvage bin and get carried away , never to be seen again?
And so from time to time I looked in all the obvious hiding places, but to no avail, until today. I was looking for something else and in that process I came across the lost book; it was in a place where I should have looked in the first place, with all my maps of Victoria and New South Wales, tucked in at the very back of the box.
And guess what? I was also looking for a set of photographs which I had taken for a project back in 1998 and which may be useful to a local organisation giving a talk on the history of one of our local (long since closed) coal mines. I found these in an envelope almost next to the Melbourne book.
This has had the additional encouragement to make a more serious start on clearing the clutter in my Den.
So thank you St.Antony of Padua- you have come up trumps yet again. ;) ;) ;)
-
Yes, St Antony comes to the rescue, our Vicar lost papers to do with his MOT, he could not find them, I suggested he looked under the files in his cabinet whether he did or not I don't know, he paid put for new papers and within a month they turned up exactly where I said they would be, St Antony let him down
Sometimes things turn up when least expected .
I had a message from someone I know very well asking if I was on email, I replied I was and would contact him later, I did, then came back a reply, his relative was in hospital and would I help towards a voucher, straight away the penny clicked, one of us have been got at, needless to say I am not sending any any money via a voucher or the bank which they suggested, the cheek of it, haven't been able to contact the person concerned yet, it was via a hot mail address.
LM
-
LM, re the person you know very well - have you been trying to contact them via email or text message/WhatsApp message? If so, I wouldn't advise that, as you say, the scammer has got to one of you and that would leave you both at further risk. In a situation like that it's best to try and ring them. If you've tried that then ignore me!
Make sure you also mark their email as spam so that your system blocks any further emails from that address.

Can't get him but have heard others got the same message, so annoying. X

Hello All
I thought Padua rang a bell and I looked it up online and it gave me a location on a map.
Got my old Rail Pass out and we went through Padua / Padova on the train from Bologna to Venice.
We went to our meeting and afterward a family got an interpreter who said to us we were invited to their home for a meal and we sat outside on a patio with food and wine. Later they said something about the sea and pointed to the steps off their large patio area and took us down some steps and they had a Motor Launch and took us out on the Sea around Venice in their Launch.
It was a beautiful Summer's evening with a light breeze off the water.
I hope your cough is improving Viktoria?
Best wishes Mark

I got one from EE supposedly, ,just one word made me realise it was a scam, it said” act prompt “ bad English , ought to have been “ act promptly” .
I phoned EE, and they said no it was not them and to delete it asap.
Tesco queried an order from me for a new mini oven, it was sent from my iPad ,payment etc , my club card numbers too. But they were just being cautious .
It has been delivered .
Grand son phoned ,he is working but the rest of the family will be here on Thursday, what a nice surprise.
Got the nasal spray ,but warnings of nosebleeds for those on blood thinners - like Apixaban and Clopidogrel—- so I can wait a bit to see if the cough goes away.
When do we alter the clocks forward ?
It will be on the calender.
I know many are not well but I do hope you are feeling better and are getting good treatment .
Reading your posts about early days and saving and mortgages etc , the worst thing was Maggie Thatcher allowing women’s wages as well as the husband’s to count for a mortgage, thus meaning they had to work even with young children because house prices rose accordingly and family life suffered I feel,.
We had it relatively easy in the 1950’s ,we had very little but that meant no debt which is a sort of freedom .I was married for nine years before I got a washer or a fridge, but shops were nearby and we bought fresh meat and veges every day. Houses had no central heating so a cold larder was the food store.
The maximum mortgage you could get was 2 1/2 times the husband’ wages ,house prices were static for a long time .
I seem to remember the deposit was one tenth of the price of the nouse.
The mortgage was the only sort of debt we had really.
But no debt was our of luxury .
Times change of course and we were born in the 1930’s and the remains of very hard times were still relevant ,then the war and make do and mend ,it was second nature to us.
But so many were in the same situation , we just accepted it all.
I would not wish such conditions on to my children or grand and great grandchildren however.
Viktoria.
.
-
You are right Viktoria , Margaret Thatcher caused the house prices to rise dramatically when both wage was taken into account for mortgages, our mortgage 1966 was just on my husbands wage and 10 % deposit, we are still in the same house, could have moved but my husband moved so many times he didn't want our daughter to go through the same thing, he never kept friends, so we stayed put.
Clocks change towards the end of the month 29th March, the clock in my car will, be correct then, never found out how to change it so it is only right 6 months of the year.
Sleep tight everyone

It's raining again today - boring, isn't it, but also threatening flooding on our country roads. We will make a quick dash to the supermarket and be glad to be back home with our purchases.
I have made an arrangement with a friend to go for a walk on the next fine day. I wonder when that will be. She lost her husband a few months ago and although she seemed to be coping well at first, the realisation seems to have just hit her quite badly. Neither of us is good at walking the sort of distances that various local groups seem to tackle, so we shall just take a stroll for the odd half hour and do a lot of chatting while we walk. I hope it helps her.
-
I am sure it will Gillig,walking anyway but in good company such bonuses.!
Fresh air ,exercise, companionship , you can’t beat it.
My daily two,hour walks with my dog years ago in a friendly group ,full of laughs ,got me over my first heart attack in 2009, and the fact that I walked with her after that until she died has no doubt helped with things since, I would have got another dog but along came Covid .
I could not walk one now.
A lovely surprise ,Grandson phoned last night ,he cannot make it but the rest of the family are up and will come tomorrow.
So a dash to Supermarket early tomorrow ,I can cook a chicken , they will have lunch here.
Well old microwave and countertop cooker gone, used the new Russell Hobbs little oven for cheese and onion pie for tea, a bit “fast” so a few degrees lower next time.
It is so sparkly and shiny.A Russell Hobbs, new Microwave is too .
Two big boxes, Luca and Kyra will play with them tomorrow.,I have all sorts of craft stuff for them to decorate the boxes should they choose to do that.
I hope we have a nice Summer ,but if we do we will surely be short of water-
Hard to believe after all the rain we have had.
Well , time for milky coffee and chocolate biscuits .
Look after Thanks for the news.
Cheerio.Viktoria.

Your walk sounds like a great idea Gillg, I'm sure it will help your friend. I suppose all the things that need sorting out after a bereavement have been taking up her time and perhaps she's feeling very alone. A walk in the fresh air and good company sounds ideal.
I love that sort of walk with a friend, although ours usually last a couple of hours. We usually go for something to eat afterwards, and a nice glass of wine. :) On one occasion we made the mistake of doing it the other way round, we went for lunch and then a walk but feeling stuffed with good food isn't exactly conducive to exercise. We won't make that mistake again!
Have a lovely time with your family tomorrow Viktoria.
-
Hello All
Viktoria would that "cheese and onion pie for tea" be homemade?
If homemade, I bet it is heavenly :P
It actually stopped raining late yesterday and went for a walk this afternoon after a rump steak, potatoes and veg dinner, to try and walk some of it off.
Once dark the rain was back on again!
Take care all, Mark
-
Yesterday was a treat with sunshine and although chilly seeing sheets and towels flapping away on the line was a joy and boy did they smell great too!
Today more washing out but no sunshine…
Now it’s pouring with rain again!
How lovely to have your family up for a visit tomorrow Viktoria I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time with them all.. and what child doesn’t like an empty box to use imaginatively!
My daughter and youngest grandson are coming up by train tomorrow after a mornings visit to the Imperial War Museum.. we’re out for a meal tomorrow night and the bowling alley on Friday morning before they return home.
Eldest grandson away on school ski trip at Zell am See at the moment back on Saturday.
Daughter and youngest grandson went on their Jamie Oliver pasta making course today so will look forward to hearing about that… they spent Saturday afternoon making pasta with his new machine at home.. lovely pics and plenty of pasta to eat!
Think I’ve just about got over last Fridays endoscopy … back to the docs and back on bp tablets 😢… I told him I was hoping not to see him for a while as nice as he is! I suspect once biopsy results are through I’ll be back there again.
Gillg - I hope that you get some dry days soon to go for a walk with your friend, I’m sure she’ll appreciate your support and a kind ear to listen to.
It will be incredulous if we have hose pipe bans this summer after all this rain!
My son and d-I-l are going to have shocked when they come home in a couple of weeks as current temps in Brisbane are around 30-32C!
Well hope all are trying to keep well and dry and as cheerful as possible.

Hi All
Just been catching up on the end of last week's, I'm behind like a mad cow's tail.
Caroline, they discovered several decades ago that my Mum had a hiatus hernia and suggested more bland food. I hope whatever you do, brings you some relief.
My food currently and for the last six years is fairly bland nutritious food.
Roobarb, I hope you are keeping well and managing to get out and about in this weather!
Bumble B, I loved the cuddling carrots.
Jeff, nice place you built, with a stone frontage!
I tried to buy a terraced house for £20,000 in need of full modernisation (and no bathroom), when I was an Apprentice Plumber and went to my Building Society with my wage slips and book and the answer was not a chance! I just wanted to do what the young Carpenter did at the firm, buy a house and do it up whilst still living at home.
Now they are £400,000 upward. The prices are stupid ???
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/cv37/broad-street.html
L.M. yes, it was actually 10% Deposit when I got a Mortgage, but I needed 1/6th saved to bring the purchase price down to £30,000 and then I was in with a chance of 3 x our annual wages along with an Accountant's Estimated projection of possible future earnings, which I never achieved in those years.
I smiled at your Broom Stale between two chairs (I think) to hang you bits and pieces on.
Viktoria, I hope that cough is improving and you are having a nice time with family!
I hope the Cheese and Onion Pie, meal turned out well.
Gillg, just walk as far as you comfortably can (a lot of people cannot walk as far as they once did), but all movement is good for us all.
Take care all, Mark
-
Mark, yes thanks, I've been out and about. We've actually had quite a lot of sunshine here,although it's been really cold. I can put up with that in return for the brightness. :) Forecast 12 degrees over the weekend and into next week.
Caroline, good luck with your test results, hope you have a lovely weekend.
-
Roobarb
Sunny skies would be brilliant!
You'll be sunbathing in the excitement of 12 degrees ;D ;D after what we have had for months!
Are you sure they have not left the minus sign out, in front of the 12 C. :) or meant 12 deg. F
After rain and storms Britain is falling apart at the edges (BBC) ...

Comic song!
This may not be the right place for this query but here goes.
Still sorting through piles of old files and photos I came across this one.
It was a Church Social evening back in the dim and distant past.
It featured two of our choir members Ray Green and Mervyn Harris dressed as shown and representing the Wesley brothers, John and Charles.
I cannot remember the words but they were set to the tune Lucius (All praise to our redeeming Lord).
I have a feeling that this may also at one time have featured in Clarkson Roses Show "Twinkle", or am I just on one of my routine ramblings?
-
Hello Jeff
All praise to our redeeming Lord (Wesley)
My Grandmother was a Wesleyan Methodist before becoming a Jehovah's Witness.
I am not a Wesleyan, but here are the words (after the advert/s, which you can skip after a short time) ...

Thanks Mark. It was the words of the "comic song" which I was more interested in this time. I have a copy of Charles Wesley's original words. rj

This week's diary has been most interesting, not for me though we developed a drip from the bathroom on Tuesday, floor boards up , it is dripping into the kitchen from the ceiling, I must be careful what I wish for!!, the times I have been in the bathroom wishing I could have new flooring, seems I will have to now, so, be careful what you wish for, my husband isn't up to it really and I had to have a serious word with him, I softened the blow, I hope by saying I am not up to it either, he just will not have anyone in to do anything but he has to this time, waiting for a plumber coming pm, I have been dacing around a bucket in the kitchen for days, it is a hazard.
Well folks, hope everyone else is feeling chipper, at least it isn't raining here today.

Is the Toilet Cistern overflowing? However, they should overflow outside as a warning. The odd overflow pipe has been known to leak inside, when the w.c. cistern overflows.
But the leak could be from anywhere.
Sounds like you have changed rain outside, for a leak inside?
Didn't hear that on Roobarb's weather Forecast :D yesterday ;D ;D
Mark
-
Hi Mark
It wasn't the cistern, I suppose you could call it at a coupling of 2 pipes first installed 58 years ago under the flooring, the plumber was very good as the original pipe was a difficult gauge, so now we have the laborious job of choosing new flooring, how boring, jokes joke, can't tell you how many times I have wished a new flooring, not what my husband intended but he has no choice, let's hope we agree, both happy bunnies tonight.
Viktoria , hope the visit went well.
What started off a nice day we had rain pm.

Mark, yes thanks, I've been out and about. We've actually had quite a lot of sunshine here,although it's been really cold. I can put up with that in return for the brightness. :) Forecast 12 degrees over the weekend and into next week.
Oh Roobarb,
I hope you are basking in the warm Winter weather ;) and sunshine.
Your "Forecast" has been the kiss of death on the weather here ;D ;D ;D
I have been out for a walk in the rain, but any health benefit has been ruined by the desire to taste something pleasing upon return, so I've had a small packet of Cheese & Onion Crisps :) and a Guinness.
Take care.
Hope all are keeping well or improving, Mark

Apologies Mark, I should have been more specific and added 'here in the North East'.
We did have some rain late afternoon after a pleasant morning. Sunshine forecast tomorrow and Monday here in the North East. ;D
LM, I'm sure you can cajole your husband into your choice of flooring. :)
-
Working on it Roobarb.
Trying to get to grips with a new ipad, I must be going rusty in my old age
LM
-
Hope things get sorted out L.M.
I put cork tiles in our bathroom ,in the previous house, they are warm but do need sealing and hardboard was put down first as our old Victorian floorboards we’re not truly even in fact I am considering doing that here but I think it too
might need hardboard putting down first .
I could do with a much smaller bath ,have to have of those stools which sort of shorten the bath ,it would need more wall tiles to cover where the big bath had been,I might not be able to get a match to the rest of the walls.
So leave things alone !
My new little oven is behaving well and microwave ,they are so shiny ,
Nice visit from children ,they are very good, Flash Harry is interested in all sorts of things .
Kyra,just wanted to play with my son !
A lot of tarradiddle from Belgium Pensions administrators !
Now they want a face to face “meeting “ via my iPad, - I will have to have my hair done!
They ought to remember my Dad was up to his knees in Flemish mud and German bullets for them ! Or was that Arthur Haynes?
Whatever it is a diabolical liberty !
Gosh February is flying by ,still wet and very cold, but nothing to moan about when you see the flooding elsewhere .
Hope all are alright .I know there are problems and difficulties but you are stoics and carry on ,admirable .
I forgot to give Flash Harry a little gift I had ,a do it yourself Cristal making set, needs adult supervision but is in a special clear plastic case.
He is interested in so much ,his parents have done very well.
Well milky coffee and bed calls,so night night folks.
Thanks for your news and kind interest in mine .
Viktoria.

Morning all
I haven't even looked to see what the weather us doing right .
Pleased you had a good day with the little ones Viktoria, they grow up very quickly,
After having the tiles up I realise our floor boards in the bathroom must have shrunk over the years, we do need a board put back before we decide on çlick and whatever the boards are called or vinyl , I know it will take sometime as my husband can't work as fast as he used to neither can I but it will get done, and of course there will be the painting.
We are working towards a Bell Tower open day at church, the Captain is doing demonstrations for a donation , that should be good fun, I did try to become a campanologist years ago but at the time my mother was having treatment and I just couldn't spare the time after coming back from London, I was very in awe of the Sally, one false move and I could have been swinging from the tower, not a 0retty sight.
Enjoy your day everyone

Oh, church bells,the sound carries so far .
I remember leaving Belgium after a holiday there when we had returned to England ,we sailed from Zeebrugge ,and could see across the flat land the great Mediaeval tithe barn at Lissewege ,where one tenth of every farm’s produce was stored for the monastery there.
The bell was ringing across the polder land ,we stood until we could see no more .
It was sad because we loved our life there and were leaving good friends.
But two obvious University candidates who would still be in education into their twenties and not sure about grants for them there ,plus a job relocation for my husband and a little girl who would go into higher education all being well, it was the right time to return ,but we were very sad to leave.
The very flat land let the sound and sight of the Abbey stay with us until quite out to sea.
On a Manchester Sunday morning there were Church Bells ringing and Church Lads’Brigade and Church Brigade bugle bands marching through the streets.
The Scouts too had bands ,all almost gone now when they are so much needed ,a focus for youths ‘ energies and they were ( the boys) an attraction for girls!!!
Ah well, times change .
Salmon for tea, so not a big cooking session ,need an interesting potato dish though.Got peas - frozen and baby broad beans also frozen )
I will slave over a packet of Colman’s Hollandaise sauce too!
Hope all goes well in the bathroom L.M.
I used to be given Guinness and milk when a little girl,I had returned to sooty Manchester from lovely Shropshire and Mum said I seemed “ to fade” - well I missed the people I had lived with so happily very much ,played out side in fresh air etc ,so it was thought a tonic might help ,hence Guinness and milk!
It is a wonder I am not an alcoholic!
Thanks for all your news .look after yourselves .
Viktoria.

Hello All
Roobarb, your weather forecast came good here today :) :) (still a lot of filthy mud about over the field) but had a walk this afternoon :)
I am promoting you to Voluntary Weather Forecaster-in-Chief (V. W. F-in-C) :D
My itchy inflammation rash, which came on mid September (right forearm and began to spread to left forearm) has started to disappear in the last two weeks and now only a lightish scar and rough feeling skin now. But it will go pinky red in the shower, so there must be something in the water triggering an immune response, but once dry, it fades and is steadily going.
In the last few weeks I have been hitting the Proteolytic foods hard, because it had calmed a bit then come back worse.
Proteolytics are protein-digesting enzyme foods, that neutralise too many proteins that flow in the blood (during an immune response) and convert them into amino acids (amino acids are the building blocks to life and repair).
Nausea last few days pretty bad and awful nausea today (I get nausea with any immune response, noticed it in the 1980s) and I felt fuzzy in my frontal lobe earlier today which has calmed a bit now.
I was feeling so sick, but hungry this evening (skipped dinner I felt so nauseous). After the walk I fancied some fried chopped onions done in my Organic Butter, but once they were done, I thought I might as well crack 3 eggs, grate some cheese and add milk, then beat it and bake it until set.
End result in photo :P :P
A good half has slipped down a treat (tasted delicious) nausea calmed and now tired ready for bed 8)
Hi Viktoria, I like the "I will have to have my hair done!" to go before the panel or whatever.
Perhaps they just want proof you are still around :) and we are pleased that you are :)
Surely your identity and a recent Pensions Letter with your address on it, is enough to prove things.
These authorities make people jump through hoops to get an entitlement and when struggling with health and trying to look after oneself and keep home tidy and clothes washed and dried, it is just another necessary nuisance to deal with.
L.M., yes, my one Guinness was very alcoholic :)
I am trying to boost something similar to estrogen.
The nearest is phytoestrogens
"Guinness, like other beers, contains phytoestrogens derived from hops, notably 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN), which is considered one of the most potent plant-based estrogens."
So when they say Guinness is good for you [in moderation], it probably is for some.
Women generally live longer and it is believed to be due to their level of estrogen.
Women have two X chromosomes when born (XX)
I also discovered the Woman has some type of a reserve immune system (like a back-up)?
Perhaps the NHS rather than dishing out all this prescription medication with known side effects, perhaps they'd be better off saying here is a Guinness Voucher, have a pint on us ;D ;D
Take Care All, Mark
-
I remember years ago hearing Guinness was good for you, 8 don't think you hear much about it nowadays but I did have a non alcoholic one which I thought was quite nice, I am not a heavy drinker at all.
PH wants my ipad, will be on the new week next

Can't start anew diary, getting an error remark, thought I was me but apparently it isn't .
LM
-
I'm getting error messages when trying to look at new replies. I refresh the page a couple of times and then it works, don't know if that would be the case for new messages but might be worth a try.
-
"Database error" -I got this message once this morning. It told me to try again later and report to administrators if it still didn't work, but actually it did work the next time I tried for a while. Now I'm getting it again when I try to move to another page.

Staying on this diary till I can log onto the end of this week hoping the person who normally shuts this down each week will wait till it is cleared
