Morning all,

No snow here Mel sunny with a little cloud , I thought the children broke up today got that wrong it was yesterday so Lewis is here helping grandad stack some wood ,dil and son have a course on at school today so Lewis is here just for the morning .

I don't think Vera's been on for a couple of days so I hope she's OK

Suns out now with blue sky and white clouds and its 7 degrees and pc says light rain.

Did we hear from Vera yesterday? Hope she's ok.

No snow here plenty of rain over night but dry now.

I have just seen that our surgery is closed for 4 days. And econsult is closed for a week. "if you need help call 111". Can't imagine that happening even 20 years ago, how sad.

Has nobody else had snow?????

I didn't sleep very well which surprised me as I was tired when I went to bed, just couldn't get off.

Morning all,

Snows still here but it is raining now. Its 6 degrees and pc says rain stopping soon.At least the road seems to be c;lear now but its still on the grass and the trees and the car.

Its so annoying I want to drink my coffee but Iv'e made it too hot.

No strange dreams last night that I can remember anyway.

Did you all get a good nights sleep in? I hope so. I hope Mandy feels a bit better now she knows more or less whats wrong and they can soon put her right. sending wishes to you Mandy. <3

Good morning all. only 3 degrees here so a bit on the cool side, although the sun is shining. There doesn't seem to have been a frost last night though.

Mandy looks like you have some answers and hopefully the pills will help you and the spray for your ear.

I am out this morning with a friend and her daughter (who will drive us) for coffee and then the local garden centre probably,

Pc is playing up again.

Why on earth when these vunerable children ar epout back with their parents they are not monitored regulary. He could have bee saved from all the horrors if they were properly watched. It makes you wonder how people can do these wicked things.

I have just been outside for a ciggy and its SNOWING and settleing. :-S

Oh don't worry Ann I've already said to Colin "oh and the doctor said eat at much chocolate as you can " lol :-D

Till you get your tablets it sounds like you have an excellent excuse for some extra chocolate this easter then Mandy! lol It has the milk for extra calcium and if you like the dark sort it is rich in iron! :-D Mention it to Colin!

So often we read about cases like that little boy when they are returned to their parents. They must often know when parents for whatever reason are less likely to cope and should check them all over more often.

Thank you Ann i hope they help ,the prescription was being sent to boot but the last time she gave me new tablets when I went to boots for them the next day they said they had only just received it and would take three days ,if that's the case I won't have them until next week .

That little boy died on Christmas day 2020 in Derby he was only ten months old ,I couldn't listen to it all but did hear he had well over a hundred injuries bless him ,he had only been placed back with his parents for 39 days after being in care .

That's good the doc has found some things in your results that would explain how you've been feeling Mandy. The low iron would be making you feel tired as well and treating your ear will make sure that isn't part of the problem. I hope the tablets soon have an impact and you start feeling better. :-) I haven't watched the news and seen about that poor little boy with all those injuries. The poor little soul must have been scared to death and so helpless. How can someone inflict all those injuries on a little child.......it's heartbreaking.

I had'nt heard about the little boy with over a hundred injuries? Wwhere was that? There are dreadful tthhings going on in this world of ours.

Sleet diid'nt last long but it did setl on my caile. Wid was cold tooday too. It was blowing quite hard at one point ad lew somee or pot up

I will see if the pics I took of Jenny wren's nest have come out and send them to you.

The doctor rang and I need vitamin d tablets and she said my iron levels are very low too they should be 50 and mine are 14 ,she's also given me some spray for my ear.
I have to take the tablets for three months then they will check again ,my vitamin b level was down too but she said that's not to bad, Hemoglobin was a bit low too but again she said they'd check that again too.

I think we heard thunder this afternoon, it had stayed dry but as I went out to the bin I could see a few spots on the bin lid .

Oh Ann that poor little boy and that poor little boy they were just talking about on the television who died and he had over a hundred injuries.

Afternoon All,

Sunshine here earlier but we had a sharp shower at lunchtime, but it's sunny again now.

We woke up early, but crawled back under the bedclothes for another half hour before getting ready to go to B&Q. At least OH's achilles tendon is much better after a night with a hotwater bottle to rest it on. We called and got diesel from Sainsbury's on the way and about a third of the pumps were closed. Then we popped in Lidl's on the way for cereal we like and came out with far more things that were so cheap we couldn't leave them behind! We were shocked at all the foreign food shops there were nearby, all advertising Polish, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Lithuanian and Romanian food! Things have certainly changed in the area since the pandemic, several new barbers too that OH tells me some of which he has read can be involved in money laundering! In Lidl we heard so little english, we felt like the foreigners. There is a large B&Q in the city, but it was very disappointing as they have reduced their bathroom and kitchen showrooms so much. As we walked in I said to OH that the 'meet and greets' had lost their jobs in the cutbacks, as none were to be seen. We went home a different way, as we wanted to come into the village the back way where the big housing estate is being built to see how far they have got now. Mistake! The main road we took had a huge tailback of traffic due to roadworks with traffic lights and we had to inch a few yards at a time till we could get through. They had started a new phase of housebuilding down the lane and the lovely fields are disappearing fast now. Eventually there will be shops, a doctors' surgery and a school built as well. Now we both feel so tired we are having a rest! :-)

Excitement with what sounds like forensics in your road AnnG! I wonder what it was all about. FIL wore 2 hearings aids and I don't know if his aids were the reason, but his graft was taken from his thigh.

Yes, please keep your sleet Mel!! It's got quite windy here now since this morning. How long is your hair now? I seem to remember you could sit on it a few years ago. That was a vivid dream you had. It's amazing how our minds link things together when we are asleep!

The Magpies are carrying twigs for their nests now and we saw 2 pairs of Swans in one of the fields that floods badly, even into the bungalow gardens. I hope they find soewhere high to build their nests or they will get swept away.

They still haven't found that little boy that fell into the river.

Oh you can keep that Mel , still dry here but the clouds are black .

Please keep it there Mel. 8 degrees here and some sun some rain.

Iv'e got sleet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! almost snow.

Afternoon all,

It's been a nice sunny say so far but there's now black clouds looming ,I have felt a bit better today and got a few jobs done .

Mel that was a very strange dream, had you watched anything with a gallon ship in .

Oh Anng I wonder what was going on there ,I've watched the police programmes and ths blue gloves are usually worn when they are doing a search .

:-D Mel, your dreams are as varied as mine loved that one.

Back from the coropodist now and although it tipped down when I left home for the bus and rained while in town, the sun is now making some appearance.

It was an interesting start to the day. When I went downstairs and pulled up the kitchen blind, there were three polices cars in the road, plus an ambulance, Plus a large white van from which (according to Cynth who saw them earlier,) men got out putting on blue gloves - We all watch crime thrillers don't we?

By the time I went out the ambulance had gone but I didn't see it go so have no idea if anyone was a passenger. When I got home they had all gone. Mystery? This was not at the house owned by the young lad but at the house that was the centre of the arrival a couple of years back of armed polices and the fire brigade. (That turned out to be nothing in the end). Single Polish lady and teenage son live there.
