HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Sorry this new thread is later than usual.
Have a good week, all!
Hello everyone. Apologies for no specific replies, but I hope that any of your various problems or issues sort themselves out to your satisfaction or disappear completely! AQ's last list of sayings reminded me of a notice on a friend's fridge in her kitchen/dining room (sadly she died last year at age 94). It read: "Come in, sit down, converse. It doesn't always look like this--sometimes it's worse!"
Kind regards, Ann
Lindybird: This one's for you. I told Ms.D I wanted to take a photo of her with the framed version of your poem (written back in March 2014) because you were surprised and pleased to know that she still had it. "But it's keepsake," she said: Here you go:
Thank you BLUESKY & GARDENBIRDER for your quotes. Love them.
ANNETTE – Goodness gracious! MsD is no longer a littl’un. Hasn’t she grown up into a beautiful young lady.
DIBNLIB – Well done to your niece.
LINDA - {{{HUGS}}}
I had my MOT this morn - the one-year-on mammogram. Results when I see surgeon next week. Meanwhile I can relate to ANNETTE’s “every nasty, rare and incurable disease”. Especially when I feel strange twinges in the middle of the night.
Just a thought
Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.
Lindy - Couldn't agree more about trying to speak to a medical person. I needed to contact someone pretty urgently this morning. First tried 111 - hung on for half an hour listening to someone telling me my call would be answered very soon. Then tried 111 online - who told me I should go immediately to the nearest A and E. Finally I rang my GP surgery. First I got told off by the Receptionist because I had chosen the 'emergency' number from the menu. I told her I considered it was an emergency - she insisted on details (I hate giving personal information to a Receptionist!!!) and agreed that yes, it was an emergency. She told me a doctor would ring me in the next two hours. And amazingly, she did. She certainly put my mind at rest - in my head I was being blue-lighted to the nearest A and E Department! She reckons it's an unpleasant but not serious bacterial infection, and gave me an appointment - yes, a real live face to face appointment - for tomorrow. Amazing what a difference it makes when someone actually listens to you! So I'll continue with my bland diet of bananas and porridge for a bit longer.
