Cheese and biscuits! ( yes...you must be special) you get less than that for donating a pint of blood!

I am always aware of “due care” since the day I was working alone in a blood taking role ( within an obstetrician practice on a quiet Saturday morning when the Obstetrician was not on duty). I took a blood test off a newly pregnant Mum. She fainted in the chair, got her arms entangled in the chair a...

We are ‘ard. But it is a nod to due care.
Hubby stands there twitching to get on, but I wait my 5 mins just in case!
( he couldn’t cope if I went down face first in the car park!)

Over here, I am not eligible for a free flu jab ( hubby is but I am not...no problems) so I book a slot at the local pharmacy, pay my £10 and turn up at my time slot. Shot administered by the local chemist. No complaints. But the chemist does give me a sticky tab/label thingy off the vial I was inoc...

Hubby and I have been married 25 years. Apart from an Asthma attack in early years, the only thing he has had to suffer with me is my spinal disc herniation. That literally took my legs out from under me and took months to work through, but I was still up every day doing what needed doing on my stic...

Hubby has one every year. (Has never had a prostate problem despite two occurrences of bladder cancer)

I have always lived in a world where it is acceptable to be sick for a day or two, but no longer. Strange but true.

Hard to say. I know someone who has had ME for 45 years + and are no better today than they were back then.

Prime minister out tonight saying less than 5% of us have “been vaccinated”. Palette knife out smoothing over any questions in the icing. No real answer if that means 5% have had the first jab only! 😞 this is neither clear or good enough. And it is getting tedious to listen to his CRAP. ( you know I...

You would know if you had a prostate problem....frequency, trouble starting and stopping, insecurity - in terms of being within dashing distance to the loo, and trouble with your stream ( also symptoms of UTI, but that would include stinging, burning, etc so if that is missing it has to be more a pr...

Fair enough ( all good) I get up in the night to pee too...and I don’t have a prostate!
( just a Chinese bladder, which I have had all me life)

Well... Big Kev...SOME men regard their PSA as a sign of virility ( believe it or not!) because it really ( truly) has NOTHING to do with the bedroom. So many more things come into issue with virility ( such as Diabetes, Age, Weight, etc). :good: ( 🤔hope I have been reassuring...I mean...Mickey Roon...

Not quite so confusing to me ( worked as a Pathology nurse)
Mind you, results don’t transfer to the bedroom ( I am just saying )

Beautiful...

We lived quite well with son’s Labrador, who WAS allowed on couches and laps...

Yes...but not on the couches or chairs. And not on the beds unless I put a protective sheet over the duvets.( the dogs certainly aren’t allowed on pillows) ( 🤔 and she must pick up all poo on our lawns) (And she must wash all dog bowls seperate to the washing up, using paper towel to dry them. I am ...

Brenda is very welcome here - her own room and bathroom, great food, great weather AND we can take her for a paddle every day on a beautiful beach. We have beautiful wine, fabulous seafood, 😫 but very limited shopping. Unless she wants to dress as a “surfing chick”, it is Big W all the way. There wi...

Like I said...too early to run the flag up the flagpole....

By the time I get my first dose, you will all be taking crowded family holidays in Brazil or Italy and yawning into your Tequilas to hear someone in Australia is rolling up their sleeve

Nowt wrong with just getting on with it quietly

( I think this is the fourth or fifth time I have read you are having your shot this morning, Stanley)
No doubt we will get a blow by blow account on four or five topics once you have had the shot

Which is great! ( 🤔and I don’t think anything I said in my last post could have caused any vexation). I agree...bouquets to your government ( brick bats to ours). Have any of you seen the “Swiss Cheese” Theory to Covid? Nobody is out of the woods yet, not even with vaccination. I check all those cha...

Here we go again

If you are comparing THEN and NOW, there is no question we have dropped the ball. It is disappointing. We started off hard and fast with fantastic “track and trace”, closing borders early, relentless testing and quarantine. Due to that effort, we have only endured short, sharp lockdowns and have a v...

Strange weather here today. Overcast sky, force 10 gale blowing, yet it is 24C .
