HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has the best week possible.
I don't have a positive post for you all this week. The polar vortex (dangerously cold air from the Arctic) is dropping down on Indiana for the next few days. We are under an Extreme Cold Watch. The "feels like" apparent temperature will drop to 20 below zero Fahrenheit or lower in my area. That's 29 below zero Celsius. My house will be too cold for me to do anything but stay under the electric blanket and sleeping bags, read, and listen to the radio until the vortex goes home. The high winds caused a limb to fall on my power line yesterday, causing a power outage. Luckily, the very kind power crew got here within 2 hours and restored my electricity.
Lots of sweary words by me this coming week!
Love and hugs to all of you.
Afternoon all from a wet and miserable Suffolk. I usually post on Sunday but I will be away from tomorrow - nothing exotic - first to Essex to visit my Sister and her husband as she is having a hard time caring for him following the leg break. He is not being very appreciative of her or the carers that come in 4 times a day to help but the dementia has a lot to do with that. He initially refused all food amd medicine, even his insulin, until one of the male nurses had a strict word with him. I will stay tomorrow night and then travel on Friday to London to help with my sons 2 kids whilst Mum and Dad have a nights break and then help with childcare over the weekend. I will travel back to my Sisters for Sunday afternoon and stay the night then home Monday!
Dibnlib - your friend is a marvel and what an attitude to her situation.
Lindy - I hope you OHs treatment goes well.
Rusty - glad your friend has shown a small improvement. Of course you must continue to enjoy your outings with feeling of guilt - it is what she would want you to do.
OG - I hope you continue to improve.
AQ - I had promised myself that I would not watch any of the US election as my blood pressure is bad enough. But I saw the bits you mentioned of him signing things - I despair - and he will be there for 4 years!
Diane - I hope you are over the worst of the bitterly cold weather and will soon see sign of spring in your woods and of course the critters. Stay warm and safe.
Annette - maybe its time to splash out (no pun intended) on a new fountain and possibly a new keyboard.
Heather - I hope your friends have a great time in the US.
Lynette - good luck with the diet - just focus on how much better you will feel once the operation is done.
To everyone else - have a good end to the week and weekend.
Wishing everyone well and thank you for your lovely comments about Erica. RUSTY Interested in your hearing comments. I am going to have my left ear syringed tomorrow and hope this does help with my hearing problem.
Harelady: Have a good trip and don't wear yourself out. (Keyboard is part of laptop so switching out not an option.)
I''m currently living in a "Trump Free Zone" meaning that I'm not letting that (insert here any and every naughty word you can think of!) toxic moron into my life, although I suspect I'll soon need to participate in whatever anti-Trump battles there are... could be a fulltime job. :-(
Annette - I believe you can get an external keyboard with a USB plug. Might that help?
