I can bump this thead twice a day,so its easy to find.
Give it a go---Richo.

Mum is doing well, but it alarms me every time her skin tears open like that. She likes walking about inside, so I’ve got to be eagle-eyed in case there’s a lurch or wobble or what-have-you.

I have to be careful with extra anti-inflammatory medication, as part of my regular medication for the cervical radiculopathy includes something contra-indicated for Voltaren, etc. Some rest, Panadol, and heat patches: they usually give some relief although it may take a day or two.

domino, stawka, have you tried those heat patches at all?

I remember having a fiendish reaction to a medication for motion sickness while I was at uni. It was as though all my nerve cells were irritated and jumping up and down. Very weird and unbearable sensation.

Stawks - I'm beginning to think it's the chair I sit in outside - where I Iove being.

There is one each end of the outdoor table - both very large armed wooden chairs - not awfully good for posture.

And I have been doing a lot f stuff online - research into Council carp - so spent a lot of time.

Perhaps an Officeworks ergo chair - if they have bamboo would surfice. 😂

Boo Boo - loves to play first thing in the morning - tripped me up - just before the stairs - thank goodness - DD heard the breaking plastic as I went onto the coin drawers - just a cut on the arm - all good.

Dinner is served - Cheers.

Good to read that your Mum is doing well Countessa 🙂

LOL - not going into the whole hell hole - but can now actually get out of a chair.

I took mum and a good friend to a recital on Wednesday night. All Mozart, with a visiting German orchestra of superb quality, with fortepiano being played by one of the greatest pianists I’ve ever heard… and the concert arias sung by Siobhan Stagg, whose gorgeous soprano voice is perfect for this repertoire.

Mum did get a little agitated in the second half after sitting for so long, but all in all a wonderful evening. It was so good to catch up with this friend; I am aware of being a bit of a hermit lately.

Bumping - cos I can.

Hoping everyone is well and still above ground.

I go to a reunion every 3 months and the last one was 2 weeks ago.

2 members have passed in that 2 weeks.

They seemed well at the time, so there's no knowing.

The numbers are dwindling.

That's shocking!

So sorry to hear it.

Reminds me of my brother in law. His mum died last year and an aunt who was going to attend the funeral had a fall and died the day before. Sometimes things seem to happen in runs.

I went to a lunch on Friday with some friends from my schooldays! Nowhere flash, we just go to the bistro at Wheelers Hill hotel about once every 3 months or so, lovely views there and some good seniors meals.

There were only 4 of us this time and all okay or I hope so. But as you say, you never know the future.

That is sad Stawks.......guess we are getting to the stage where funerals are more common amongst our groups than weddings and christenings🥺

I also meet with a group of old friends regularly. Happily the absences so far this year have been for holidays and happy reasons (occasionally non serious illnesses).  Some of us recently spent a week in Bali using a birthday celebration as the excuse😃

That`s sad 😞

Well -that stinks Stawks.

Makes one feel one's mortality.

Finally ceased to rain - we certainly got our share.

Autumn - just wondering how long it will be before I put the doona back into the cover - just used the cover & top sheet in Summer.

3 Copies finished - taking them into Court early next week - too busy this week.

Hope all are well.
