Really good to hear from you again, Viktoria.  Take it easy, but do drop us a line from time to time until your eyesight has been sorted out.

Keep smiling ;)

Thanks again ,not doing too badly and strangely my last glasses before current ones seem better!
Not heard yet from eye tests.

 A sunny day here and no winds but still very cold .. no high winds thank goodness.


The tablets prescribed were Isosorbide Mononitrate , the three contraindications affecting me are :-Glaucoma ,Underactive Thyroid , and Recent  heart attack. Can’t believe it !
But not doing too bad.



Bought myself some bulbs at Tesco when son took me to sort out my little basic mobile .
Daffs ,Tulips and Snowdrops . Have some Muscari akready.
Have three window boxes ,need emptying for fresh bulb compost.

Thanks for your kind wishes, it will all get sorted out .
Best wishes to those who are unwell and those with problems ,little kindnesses do help I am grateful to say.
Took my time with this and took less time in the long run ,than corrrctions .
Cheerio, Viktoria.

Nice to hear from you Viktoria,  don't  worry about corrections, I am sure we will all understand, don't over do it by struggling.

Quite a nice day here but unfortunately didn't get my washing out, let's hope it is a reasonable day tomorrow.

Keep safe  in bad weather areas.

Viktoria lovely to see your posts again and hope things continue to improve.

I always keep up with the diary even though I don’t often post.

Son had an interview for a position he really wanted today and so pleased for him that he has been offered the post.

Best wishes to everyone on here and all other Rootschatters.

Did anyone watch John Simm’s and Phillip Glenister’s DNA Journey yesterday evening? I found it rather tedious and  one of the least memorable programmes. Perhaps it was just me, normally  I quite enjoy the those programmes, but yesterday  I had been knocked for six having been shocked to received some very sad news during the day. I had hoped the programme would give me something else to think about.

I can't say the programme next week looks very enticing, I don't care for Ricky Tomlinson and usually avoid anything involving him. But  I will be interested  to see what Sue Johnson's  DNA reveals.

BBC Weather showing, for Isle of Man, Hurricane Force winds of 625 mph?! :o

Looking closer at those wind speed icons, it actually says 6258 mph!! ;D
Data supplied by The Meteo Group.
Don't remember such problems when the data was supplied by The Met Office?

My Wife mentioned this morning, that the UK weather was wrong and our weather reporting system had gone crazy .

Reuters are claiming that an App had failed?
https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/bbc-weather-app-wrongly-shows-18995-mph-wind-speeds-britain-2024-10-10/

Years ago they would conduct an Inquiry, when the forecast was seriously wrong, I wonder if we'll hear this time?

We went to bed in 1987 with high winds, but at 01.35 Universal Time 16th October in the morning the Meteorological Office warned the Ministry of Defence that the weather was going to be upgraded and be very severe etc., etc., and to start planning to assist.

Today they claim their supercomputer is "capable of 14,000 trillion arithmetic operations each second."

How can one even check the accuracy of a statement like that.

Good news Pinetree, glad for you and sorry your news Pinetree was not good.
Hope things improve for you and indeed anyone who has worries and sadness.

What would we do without RootsChat?
I find it so friendly and like a friend .

Got my little phone working and all charged up.
Then my kind son who took me to Solicitor’s today re will and things then got my phone sorted ,bombarded me with science and all I wanted was to send and get messages . I now have forgotten the basics !
I can only assimilate a little at a time nowadays .

The less bright screen is much better , I had no idea it was possible to change it ,I am not fit really to have any “ technology “I might be better with a gas phone!
Look after yourselves folks .
Cheerio.Viktoria.
