Good Morning Early Birds

[murraymints]

Sunday...windy here in Edinburgh...hope it stays dry...up to mum and dad's soon....do a bit in their garden...hope you all have great day...xx

[Sir Alec]

Morning, MM! Had a bad day yesterday, so am still up, playing music and now feeling happier after a hard day yesterday, looking up ovens. Ours has packed in altogether. Somebody, recommended by Which? is coming to look on Mon. I fear the worst and have already measured up the old one. It's amazing, when you look at ovens for sale. People forget to put the dimensions! Duh! Gonna lose on a sale there then......

Morning!!! Never been to sleep! :-) The race starts in an hour and a half! First live race of the season!!!

[murraymints]

Goodness sir A ...hope you get the chance to nap later....xxx
.you have a microwave ? It's a nightmare when faced with the vast array of goods to choose from....

[murraymints]

Morning Erin x...Chinese grand prix ???

[Sir Alec]

I don't watch the Grand Pricks, sorry Prix. It is all just 'Neeeeeeeeeooooooow! and their gone. Not worth the effort I fear.....

Bit tired Elle..had to get dad to hossie last night so they could do something about his residual pain from shingles..home with alternative tablets...going up for 7am....see how things are..fingers crossed...

[Ellesbells]

yes fingers crossed new meds help...heard of so many people that have shingles lately, very painful, hope he feels better very soon mm xx

Morning all. xxx

minty I hope I've caught you before you go. Your poor dad is really going through the mill. Please tell him, and mum, I'm thinking of them, and you of course.

Alec it's a minefield isn't it. I remember when we bought our cooker 13 years ago it took us nearly a week to make up our minds. The one we chose is very good though.

Nice to see you on page one Cap'n Patch! :o}

[Sir Alec]

MM, I really sympathise. I was diagnosed with shingles and it turned out to be Costochondritis. Very painful even to breathe. I gather your Dad is quite old? I look after my Dad full time. He had an MRI scan for Alzheimers, but luckily he'd only had a series of tiny strokes. His short term memory is very bad, but he had good days too. A frustrating existence though..........

[Ellesbells]

Hi wbm......yes I'm usually a page 3 girl :)

[Sir Alec]

Yes WBM, I phoned Electrolux but they won't visit an oven over 12 years old. Disgraceful, when you think that our household is extolling the worth of their products. Their oven has lasted 14 years with us. You'd think they'd be proud!

[waterboatman]

Indeed you are Elle. Very nice too! ;o}

Alec You are in my thoughts too, xx You are a good daughter, I'm sure your dad is in good hands. xxx

[waterboatman]

You'd think so wouldn't you Alec, but there is no loyalty to customers these days. It's an essential item too.

[murraymints]

Morning Boaty xx just caught me...wild here now,wet and windy..no gardening today for sure.....Sir A....he's now 79..not really old but has a myriad of health problems notwithstanding the cancer and diabetes.... Will be back once I've wrestled with mum's wireless connection..xx

[janbee]

Morning all from a rainy, back to Winter, Sussex. It's to brighten up later. I hope so. It's the Brighton Marathon today and it's not much fun running in this heavy rain. A bit of drizzle is ok for the runners but not this heavy and rather cold, rain. I'm not taking part this year. Not done enough training. I'm going down to the seafront to watch it all, then off to the gym, then Zumba, then Bokwa. That's all MORE than enough exercise for little old(very old!) me. Hope the sun will shine on your upturned apple cheeks everyone. xx

[Sir Alec]

Exactly, WBM. I am having to serve my father ready meals from tesco that can be cooked from frozen in the microwave at the moment.

Good morning to you all.Very blustery and cold here compared to yesterday.
