I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

(((HUGS))) Yes indeed we do! So sorry! They still are searching for a definitive diagnosis for M.E. I was totally misdiagnosed for 30 years and that did so much addititional damage. And I never now expect any appropriete medical care. I am in an excellent online forum " Phoenix Rising" but at my advanced age I just focus on the things I can still do without causing a relapse. Life is still beautiful and precious.

Cushtie

Watching "it's a wonderful life" have never seen the whole thing.

Gremlinertia

Off to work again, two off then five on so here round new year too for company.

Shenanagins here today. Had to reluctantly get ambulance before lunch for Grumpy. Crew gave him a good checking out and we all agreed that the issue was resolving and it was better to let him recover at home than be parked on a trolley in a corridor in A&E for hours surrounded by chaos and infection only to be told eventually that the issue is resolved for now, away home with you. So yet another day in the bed for him. This is becoming his default now saddly.He's just had a bit of supper. Waiting on his carer so we can attend to him and settle him for the night. Fingers crossed its a quiet one.

Absolutely beautiful views that the phone cameras didn’t do justice to. But it is just amazing to watch the transformation of the landscape.

Starts with my morning caravan view, some Ottoman constructions and a working man.

Gremlinertia

Oh @Sardonicat that's rough. I hope you can manage a bit of rest *boobly hugs* as always

It's our "new normal" now. Tomorrow, I'll have managed to have kept him out of hospital a whole week. Not gonna lie, I'm on edge with him most if the time. But, I chose to care for him myself. As they say, when you sign up to be a soldier you must expect to do some soldiering.

Duvet Day

You're doing a fantastic job Sardi, it isn't easy, I'll say no more because I don't want to sound patronising but well done girl.💕

I went shopping today, honestly thought the place would be empty but it was packed, the food court was crazy, it's like Christmas never happened and we're all just out and about as usual....I had 2 takeaway coffees. ☺️

Carers are heroes and heroines. In thoughts and prayers - and look after you too.

Well as per usual i'm drifting around at abnormal hours for further hugs and nonsense talk as required

Thanks Grem. Currently sitting on his crash mat just out of his eyeline. He's got notions tonight to try and climb out of bed. Mat is surprisingly comfortable. Hoping and praying his sedation kicks in soon. I need the loo!

Gremlinertia

In cheerier news, Mrs G is well enough to face a proper dinner tomorrow, half leg of lamb is go!. Will get roasties and stud it with garlic in the morning 😃

Sardonicat

Ohh, that sounds delish. I'm bit the greatest lover of lamb but when it's studded with garlic it's a winner. Mrs. G gets her Christmas feast at last.

SuperBowserWorld

Watching Celebrity Catchphrase drinking tea and eating Roses. It's all our poor minds can cope with at the moment.

We are recovering from melting faces in Raiders of the lost ark.

Edit ... my brain and body is officially cheese.

Gremlinertia

Right i'm off to the kitchen, get you tea/coffee/water/leftover sammich orders in now!

SuperBowserWorld

Having a mixture of fancy cheeses and crackers here. Yummy.

Duvet Day

A house full of food here and my gang just ordered a load from Four Star..I give up.

Grandeeod

I'll have a beer please!

Watching a very unseasonal bit of TV. Boys from the black stuff.a masterclass in writing.

Gremlinertia

*slides beer*

That show sounds intriguing G, is it on youtube?

Grandeeod

Suppin that beer. You'd need it watching this. Not on YouTube. But the pilot is. Search the black stuff. Pilot was 1980. Series was 82.

Duvet Day

TV on silent here, spotify on phone connected to bluetooth speakers, great sound, mainly Fleetwood and Dire Straits but a few other favourites in the mix, half regretting not going out tonight but the effort....meeting my friends for brekkie tg, cabin fever setting in.

We were watching raiders too and as it's on every year you get immune to it. Until you look at your eldest whose eyes are out on stalks as Indy is crashing into skeleton after skeleton.....and you think maybe this isn't the most suitable thing on tv for them 😂🤣🤣

Gremlinertia

Little Todd Terje here

Mam of 4

Cleaning the kitchen for tomorrow and listening/ half watching the story of The Bee Gees rise to fame on Sky Arts. Easy listening.

Gremlinertia

Mam you should be on a holiday from cleaning

Mam of 4

Lol 😂 Grem , I can be as lazy as fcuk by times tbh ! Then other times I just whizz around getting as much done in the shortest amount of time possible!

Tomorrow there will be ten adults and six children here 🙈🙈

I told them all to bring the kids wellie boots so they can go run around and play ball in the garden, let off a bit of energy.

Gremlinertia

And plastic bags for muddy boots and clothes too!

SuperBowserWorld

Just watched Wolfwalkers.

Beautiful movie.

Gremlinertia

Good ould sean bean eh?. Watched a documentary he narrated recently

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120036689#Comment_120036689

Oh exactly! Numbers have dropped by four adults and one child now who is ill . Somehow I think they'll all drop out now.

Eta,

On the plus side the house is clean 🤣

Gremlinertia

There really are so many nasty bugs about.

Mam of 4

Ah that's it Grem , we can't escape them all .

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120036393#Comment_120036393

We can get our very own disco going in here. You know it makes sense! 😆

SuperBowserWorld

Someone from the Christmas party yesterday has covid today. So it'll be interesting what happens next. PITA

@Sardonicat

Sending best wishes to you and grumpy @Sardonicat that's very tough.

Gremlinertia

Ah a good old fashione chair dance, since everyone is too full to get up 😅

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebjXsc0UjdQ

Grrrroovy Grem. This is my contribution to keep the vibe going...... slow sets to come later 😆

https://youtu.be/cmnfCBDlu4Q

I says

Watching goodfellas it’s on bbc2 and having a few tubes. Rest, relaxation and Guinness what more do you need.

Such a great movie 👌

Gremlinertia

Nice track Bones. Is it too soon for more tea?

There can never be enough tae drank Grem I reckon. Love those cups sometimes that are like the perfect cup of tea and feel as thirst quenching as your first cup of tea after crawling out of the Sahara parched 😆

Gremlinertia

Took your advice and brewed up, lovely

JupiterKid

Chilled out here on my hotel bed, was out and about in the locality today after a very late lie in, followed by a swim in the hotel pool as the sun began to set over Faro.

OH has come down with a tummy bug so he's taking it very easy. Planning on seeing some sights in the Western Algarve tomorrow.

Night all! 😴 🛏

Purple Mountain

Sardonicat, thinking of you and your dad tonight. There's no Christmas break when you're doing your job.

I'm only coming right today after 6 days of the flu. Still a bit breathless but that flattened feeling is gone.

Duvet, what happened to the party animal you had become in December? Go for a liquid breakfast tomorrow I say 😋

I'm not able for your disco, Grem and Bones. I'm not well up enough on music to even suggest a tune 😁

Gremlinertia

You can chill out, we've got the tunes covered

Trying to draw Duvet out with this one! 😁 In memory of Christine McVie

Can we just go straight to the slow set, I'm abed 😁, throw on an auld knee trembler Grem.
