I feel a little better but still keep overheating so still in bed. Pauline has just brought me some salmon sandwiches and a cup of tea.👍 The tea will hopefully cool you down a bit. Take it easy and enjoy being waited on while you can. Once you are well again there will be the backlog of little jobs to get on with 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for you ,you do have your own little angel in the form of Pauline and from what I read is doing a tremendous job looking after you, bless her. Try not to speak too much if you find it's bothersome , maybe get a little bell as John suggested to you earlier in the week . I keep getting visions of poor Pauline running up and down those stairs looking after you . I hope she is keeping safe & well under the circumstances . Reminds me of that advert but role reversed ,with you shouting "Pauline love " and she is trudging up the stairs ... You two take care and get plenty of rest Edited November 15, 2020 by kalos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted November 15, 2020 #8409 Share Posted November 15, 2020 My sister has just called round to deliver an anniversary card and a bottle of sparkling wine. We had socially distanced conversation while she stood about 10 metres away along the drive. She tried to convince me that because she knew Three Choirs wine was our favourite she and her husband had to put themselves out and go away for a 2 days stay in the Three Choirs vineyard and that it was nothing to do them wanting a wine tasting break to find out why we liked to detour for a night in Gloucestershire when we drive to Southampton. I love her but don't believe her 😂🍷 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted November 15, 2020 #8410 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Just take it easy Graham. You’ll be fine; give it time Good advice on sleeping - just sleep yourself better A strange day here. Yesterday was simply awful. Torrential rain all day, flooding etc. Today started with heavy rain; we had a lovely bright and very warm 3 hour window when we managed to get the pup out for a run and get some fresh air ourselves; now it’s just reverted to crazy - sunny and warm one minute, tropical downpour the next Still no heating on in our house; I’m still in short sleeves. Madness! Hope we don’t pay for it once the year turns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauline has put a bell at my side of the bed but I would only ring it in an emergency. I worry in case she catches this and she has been an angel constantly asking if I need anything and am I okay.

Madness! Hope we don’t pay for it once the year turns Torrential downpours here as well but cold to the extent that the precipitation was more like sleet than rain. We were out walking when it started and got socked to the skin, it was like cold needles hitting any exposed skin. Only November so unfortunately a long winter still ahead. Hope we get some substantial snow, that is at least pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow does look lovely especially when looking out of the window of a nice warm house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices fell back somewhat over the summer, but they’re presumably going up again. Any number of cheapies out there, but if I’m using medical equipment I want to be sure it’s accurate. Pointless otherwise. I suspect the cheapie ones are as accurate as the expensive ones Harry, a bit like a cheap timex tells the time just as well as a Rolex.

I would say yes and no to that John . A lot will be safe and could be accurate as one of the more pricier ones. Some could be not built as good just like your example of the Timex vs the Rolex, I agree you get what you pay for . When it comes to medical equipment , like my blood pressure monitor , I use the same Omron machine that I see around clinics and on my doctors desk . If it's good enough for them then it's good enough for me as I know it passes Certifications: CE, FDA and CFDA. So if you have a serious medical condition then you would be looking at the above , or you are just a healthy person wanting a rough idea then buy a cheapie if that's what rocks your boat . I would advise though buy as I do from a medical supplier ,that way you know it's fit for purpose as opposed to Shady-dot com via Ebay who I am told sell very good Rolex's and phone chargers for a fraction of the recommended retail prices As seen on tv (Fake Britain , Watchdog etc ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
