Morning folks icy n dicy here

Morning. I managed a long lie. I ain’t venturing out as it’s all shiny and sparkly out there!

Hi Mo i think i recall youre worried about taking a tumble on ice, then i thought get a pair of good quality textile motorcycle trousers! They have knee and hip armour, breathable if goretex and nice and warm. Im not suggesting go out when its slippery but if youre determined a pair of m/c trousers should certainly help in a fall. The armour is a kind of rubber which is removable and shouldnt impede walking. Hein Gericke is a good brand

I landed on my wrist last winter. It was in a right mess. Still not sure if it was a bad sprain or a fracture. I still get the occasional twinge 11 months later. It’s just not worth it.

A quick hello.

Visit the auntie to sort some money out. She wants what I consider a ridiculous amount to give as presents. She is 96 but quite sharp and I have to keep telling myself "it is her money and her business, not mine".
Once again I say.......if someone asks you to be PoA.....the answer is NO !!!

This is going to be one of these days I keep thinking it’s the weekend for some reason

MrsD fell and (we think) sprained her wrist 8 weeks ago and is just getting some use back eg she can hold a fork.
Mr Google tells me it is a long process.

My sister gets money out of my mum's account when she asks for some. My sister has a habit of asking why she wants it. It really annoys my mum as it is her money and she doesn't have to answer to anyone as to why she wants it. I keep telling her to tell my sister to mind her own business.

Join the club Mo.....there seem to be so many people who have the same problem.

I used to get money out for dad too. He was very old school and always liked a decent amount of cash in the house.

For some reason I seem to be the only person she is willing to discuss her money with....... but I still recognise that is her business so keep my gob shut.

Morning all from a wet and very windy Minehead

Good night was had with our close group of friends, last night.
Off up to North Hill and Porlock Weir today.
Covid boosters were had yesterday - no side effects.

If @Mo1959 does get some armoured trousers with rubber inserts then I think photo's would be in order 😁

Took the gas reading on Sunday and entered it on the British Gas website only to get an error message saying the reading was too high. The bizarre thing is my last reading was 08671 and Sunday's was 04475. I didn't submit the reading.

Presumably, the meter starts again at 00000 after 99999, in which case you would have used almost 6000!

Ah, router/sander person has just started his/her DIY again next door. I was trying to get back to sleep after being woken up by a couple of incoming texts. Looks like another day of grabbing sleep where I can!
