Roger88 Posted January 23, 2021 #14102 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Well, today was the first warm day in New Jersey. I actually left home to walk my dog first time this year (Usually its my daughter doing it). I enjoyed the walk, the weather and the overall calmness of the outside world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear ...... if there is such a thing as 'man flu' is there such a thing as a 'man fall / slip' ? To be fair, he has recovered well and has been a very good and brave patient 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted January 23, 2021 #14105 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Mine went up 2 ladders today and cleared a leaking gutter. Don;'t think he should at 82, but try stopping him. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near the big 8 2 ; - ) (To be fair he did come a cropper ---- made me go 'ouch' too) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted January 23, 2021 #14113 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The corn on my left foot is painful today, I have done a LOT of walking the past few months but I rarely get any pain when wearing the extremely comfortable walking shoes. If the moisturiser does not help as a diabetic I need to see my GP (according to NHS) but I reckon they are somewhat busy at the present. Maybe a beer or two or some paracetamol might help - fed up 😟 Or throw something at the 🐈 😈 Snow forecast for tomorrow 😨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 magpies around here, they seem to enjoy taunting the 🐈 With 9, now 10 hanging feeders and 2 bird tables within 10 yards of my house the birds are too fat to fly far. Funny thing is my hanging feeder with sunflower kernels is used exclusively by a blue tit, the bird table has a robin, magpies, collared doves and an occassional wood pigeon. the local herd of spoggies prefer the neighbours suet balls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
