purplesea Posted February 6, 2021 #15201 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It is nice to watch the fields turning yellow as the daffodils come out. I haven't been out, except to drive my husband up to the surgery for his jab, since Boxing Day so don't know how advanced they are this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble was when on holiday I could be found roaming the cruise ships at 5am filming them as it came natural to wake up at that time . If you want to join us in the pampered club I suggest in the morning giving your loved one a gentle nudge and asking ...ermm On second thoughts ,scrap that idea it's very nice that first cuppa on your own in the morning My hubby used to get up at 5am for work so now he goes for a run at that time and brings me a coffee at a more reasonable 7 30! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted February 6, 2021 #15204 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I have been retired for 12 years and I still can't get out of the routine of waking up at 6 am and much to OH's annoyance I am the unfortunate person who can't stay in bed once I wake up, his lordship has happily reverted to thinking that he is a teenager and stays in bed until between 9:30 and 10 am ( on second thoughts perhaps he is dodging helping with the housework ) Edited February 6, 2021 by Josy1953 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted February 6, 2021 #15206 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I always wake about 5.30, husband sleeps until 6.30. I get up, make a mug of tea to take back to bed, and set the table for breakfast. Then our fantastic newspaper chap puts the paper through the door at about 6, so I take that to bed to have a good read before getting up. The paper has been driven through the night from Liverpool via the M62 and down the A1, arriving in our village about 4.30. I do find these night workers very impressive - ditto our binmen, who are there whatever the weather every Tuesday morning. I think most of us feel more appreciation for these good folk, who have to go to work, more than we did in pre covid days. Well, I do anyway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a problem for us at the moment. 6 years ago we had our glass conservatory roof replaced with a solid one. There are 4 large Velux windows in the roof and last week one of them started leaking. We had to move the dining table to the lounge end and the floor is now covered in towels and a bowl under the leak. The ceiling around window has some damage. The 10 year guarantee covers the windows but, to cut a long story short, the company that did the roof and Velux arguing about who should take responsibility. On the positive side, the forecast for the next few days here is quite good (snow is not shown for us). Even better news, my 67 year old husband has got his vaccination on Tuesday. You have to take the positives where you can in these crazy times. The roof leak is a bummer but good news that your hubby gets his vaccine on Tuesday. Graham.

After my HA I got Ticagrellor for 12 months for my cardiac stent and Aspirin for life. I have now stopped the Ticagrellor anti platelet treatment. The 75mg Aspirin is only a tiny tablet and I didn't need to stop taking it for my Cataract and Vitrectomy surgery last Wednesday which was done using a local anaesthetic.

Hi Graham , the Ticagrelor for 12 months I was told is standard for HA patients . I was taken off them after 8 months as cardio team deemed my risk had lowered . Same as you I take the 75mg Aspirin and was advised that another tablet I take every morning called Lanzoprazole was an ant acid that was also to stop the Aspirin damaging the stomach lining . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they gave me Lanzoprazol too to protect my stomach from the blood thinners. They also gave me Atorvastatin and Bisoprolol indefinitely. Total cholesterol is 2.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Peterson Posted February 6, 2021 #15216 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Inevitably, on various medications - some to counteract the effects of others. Fortunately, I'm pretty tolerant to most medications, but I'm always reminded of this - one or two may remember it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted February 7, 2021 #15217 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Well the winter wonderland has not happened yet, it is now snowing but lots of small flakes and as the ground is soaking it might not settle, maybe because we are only a couple of miles from the sea. Horrible cold and high wind though, not a day to be going anywhere. My neighbour has her jab this morning and is getting there whatever the weather. It is about 20 minutes walk away and I imagined her trudging through the blizzard with tennis racquets strapped to her feet. 🥶 Edited February 7, 2021 by davecttr spalling mistuk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted February 7, 2021 #15221 Share Posted February 7, 2021 2°C here. There has been a few snow flurries but there is only a thin dusting of snow on the ground.

It was a whiteout blizzard at 11:30 last night, but fortunately it must have eased soon after, but still a good covering this morning, and we are now seeing some brief snow flurries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
