Beckett Posted February 6 #55076 Share Posted February 6 2 hours ago, Snow Hill said: Finished up going to A&E last night when the bag under my eye go quite large, so followed dentists instructions should that happen, after 11 hours sitting in A&E finally saw a doctor at 9:00 am. The doctor referred me to maxillofacial doctor who after examination and an X-ray said rather than an abscess it was cellulitis and has admitted me to hospital for up to 3 days for IV Antibiotics, I wasn’t expecting that. Oh that's a shock Snow Hill. Good job you followed your dentist's instructions. After 11 hours in A&E you will hopefully sleep well tonight. Wish you better.

Sunny around 23 to 25c during day and only dropping to around 18c overnight. Now at 6.30pm I am sat on the balcony outside wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt with a glass of wine, and I expect we will be eating dinner out here at 8.30 tonight. And just to add about the 910 bus, it is a wheelchair accessible 'bendy bus' and the food and drink kiosks at the beach have wooden walkways from the road. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted February 6 #55083 Share Posted February 6 3 hours ago, 9265359 said: This afternoon was spent at Teresitas beach a short bus ride along the coast from Santa Cruz. For anyone on Azura or any other ship calling in Tenerife then it is easy to get to on the 910 bus from the road just outside the cruise terminal - less than 2 euro each way, pay on the bus contactless, a bus every 10 minutes, and just ride it to the end of the line so no way to get lost! The beach is absolutely fabulous, sandy with calm warm water because there is a breakwater a short distance out keeping the Atlantic at bay, and a number of food and drink kiosks that are spread along the length of the beach renting sunbeds and parasols (yes those are needed here) for 6 euro a set of two, and incredibly selling food and drink for no more than the prices in town. Not jealous at all! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted February 7 #55084 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Our boiler is being serviced today and I have just received this message from British Gas. We have never had this before despite having boilers serviced by British Gas for over 40 years. We haven't had a dog since our last one died 12 years ago so I can only think that it is due to the bad publicity about some breeds of dogs. Hi, your British Gas visit is due today between 8am-1pm. If you have pets, please keep them safely in another room while our engineer is at work.

Track progress at https://www.britishgas.co.uk/trk Seems very sensible to me although I am saddened that there are obviously people out there who need to be told to keep their pets in a different room from the boiler. I don’t suppose it applies to rabbits, hamsters and goldfish though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted February 7 #55086 Share Posted February 7 Morning only 4.c here this morning . I think that British Gas are doing the right thing with the pet awareness reminders as some pets are happy to see visitors and others are not . As a school kid we had a woman who had a very big white rabbit that she used to let run free in her back yard . My school mate said "go to open the gate " Quick as a flash it was at the gate making a racket . The woman who owned it said " He would have you ,if you open the gate " as it had bit people in the past . Have heard of people who have cats that do not like visitors to their homes as well. Have a nice day and take care everyone . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted February 7 #55087 Share Posted February 7 Yesterday I had the abscess drained and much of the pin is gone just the swelling under the eye to deal with. Drs are just in their rounds so I will know soon what the precautionary nil by mouth entails. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you meant pain, but.......many years ago I was eating a blackjack..4 for a penny....there's something sharp in it!. It was a brass pin attached to my filling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - I was thinking of doing that on my next trip. I think I’ve exhausted the town now as I’ve been so often! Have you (or anyone else) taken the tram to La Laguna? I was reading about it somewhere else but can’t remember where they said to catch the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got paid for eating Black jacks ,nice work if you can get it 😉 We were down St Ives and with the pin episode you had I had the same happen eating a bag of chips. Cant remember how much they cost but turned out to be an expensive bag of chips with the dental bill that followed 😬 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the tickets from the machine, it has English and you need the station at the end of the line. Face backwards to get the best views. When you get off head north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very amusing guest speaker and they were both lovely friendly people. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
