Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[blueloon]

A belated happy birthday to our Karl. He would love what he has created.
Its been a funny day or so. I have not gone back to work as yet. I can't remember if I told you but I needed a review once my sick note ended. Last sick note was two weeks, ending yesterday. So I phoned on Monday to ask for an appointment to have a review. We can't do that, said the surgery, review appointments are released two weeks in advance. So, my review appointment should have been made when you issued my sick note( online, by phone, no medical input whatsoever). Errm yes, they said, we're sorry about that. Ring on Thursday and we'll give you an appointment. Why can't you give me an appointment for Thursday now? Because we release appointments on a daily basis. I rang yesterday as soon as the surgery opened.No appointments available! Arrrgh! Anyway I've got one later this afternoon. What a palaver...!
In the meantime Mr F came home from work feeling quite ill yesterday. Long story short, after an emergency visit to the same GP, he is now in hospital with cellulitis in his leg. He's on IV antibiotics. I was with him in A and E ( GP called an ambulance) from 4pm to midnight when he got moved to a ward. He's a lot better today. His temperature has come down, his leg is less red and he's hoping to be home tomorrow. Im going in later when it is visiting time.
Can my family please stop being ill!!
Beautiful day here today. I've been sitting in the garden drinking iced coffee. Lovely.
Have a good weekend everyone x

Best wishes to Mr F for a speedy recovery.

Afternoon guys, I hope you are all keeping well. I’ve had a busy week or two looking after Kay. We thought she had reached rock bottom with her Alzheimer’s behaviour but then comes up with something new to drain our energy levels. She will be getting her hair done at a new stylist next week, I may have mentioned it that the one she’d been going to for years decided they could only deal with cutting her hair and couldn’t cope with colouring due to the way she is. So we shall see how it goes. I asked my son to tell them that I will pay any amount providing they do it. Anyway life moves on…..

Remembering our good friend Karl on his birthday. Gone far too soon but his legacy of absolutely the best thread on the best site on the internet lives on. Sleep tight, Messy.

Happy birthday Karl, you left a legacy behind when you started this chat back in the day, lots of good people have come together through you

They will be streamed but no package details as of yet. Can I assume with that bad knee you aren’t available for selection?

I might have deserved a try for the last couple of seasons but even I know I am no longer up to it

Nothing cheers a woman up like getting her hair done Pete. Hopefully Kay has a pleasant afternoon and it becomes her regular spot.

Tonight in Belfast there is a bonfire (hate pyre) that will be lit beside both an asbestos site and the main power supply to a hospital. Police have refused a Council request to accompany contractors tasked to remove it as the consequences of dismantling the pyre outweigh the risks of it being lit (their words).

The local Environment minister has pleaded for it not to be lit and the head of the Doctor’s Union has told people to go nowhere near it.

Madness.

I burst out laughing reading that. Mental how much emphasis a lady places on her nails. They are right of course, just to be clear.

Always.

To celebrate Karl's birthday I've selected a very nice Gunpowder Irish gin for G&T Friday which I'm enjoying catching the late afternoon sun listening to Mag Bay.

Cheers everyone.

I bet you could.

Of course I was referring to her dancing.

Is that Drumshambo?

 

[Barnfred 55]

Is that Drumshambo?

Yes

Edit. But Gunpowder was easier to remember.

Yes

I know Drumshambo well, not much in it bar the Mart and the Distillery. Good stop off point though for a comfort break (pints) on the way out west.
