Good morning gerries:-)

Going to be a lovely day here in Melbourne, the day has an autumn feel about it.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Evening gerries -just a quick drop in.

Anyone heard or seen Darki our OP post recently?.............Richo.

Anyone else awake at this ungodly hour? I have had high blood pressure for a couple of days now and can't sleep. Too hyper. No good ringing the doctor, you have to make an appointment 7 days ahead, by then you are either better or dead. Maybe I will go and dig the OH in the ribs, I don't see why he should sleep if I can't. ]:)

Evening gerries-just checking that Jeans ok.

Gilly---you have lost the plot lol..............................Richo.

Good morning all 🙂  Yep over in your thread and now here Richo...

Another Open Home tomorrow... sick of keeping the house up to scratch but worse than that is the feeling that there surely must be something I should do to prepare for these days.

There's nothing of course unless I want to blitz the garden and the muse is not with me 😞

A lot of the garden has burned due to the excessive heat we have had here, not forgetting that Tas plants and trees are not used to it at all.  I am keeping the dead heads on the hydrangeas as they are protecting the rest of the plant, but they do look unsightly.

Jean you do know you can ring the ambulance if you are worried about your blood pressure, they can assess you and take you into hospital if they deem it necessary, you don't have to wait for the doctor - that is why doctors are not doing house calls any longer, the ambulance has taken that task over from them.

Doctors are for situations and conditions that are not emergencies, but blood pressure can be an emergency and dangerous if it is too high, so if you are really worried please don't hesitate to call them, you won't be being a nuisense I promise you 🙂

Beani so glad you are settled into your new place and now you can unpack at leisure 🙂

My eldest will be 52 in May, I can't believe it is such a long time since she was born.  I remember so clearly being 52 and now she is... gawd! 😮

Take care everyone, I will return promise 🙂

Thanks everyone. It has settled now. For a while there I was more hyper than our Jack Russell Terrier. My meds have been changed and that seems to have helped.  We only have one medical centre here to service a large region. All of the local doctors belong to it and it only opens between Mon = Friday 9am to 5pm. No weekends and you need to book to speak with your doc 7 days in advance. I rang the Health Direct medical service but after about 10 mins of yes, no questions, with I can't accept any other answer Madam, they concluded that I should see my GP within 4 hours. Uh! I told you at the start there is NO doctor. Reply, I can't suggest anything else. Don't think that I will bother them again. Oh to live in the city.
