Hi ladies. To put it bluntly I’ve never been so ill in the whole of my life. Actually thought I would soon be residing on the other side of the grass. No, I’m still here. The lovely home I’m now in changed hands soon after I arrived and for a start it’s not the same anymore. We had a Covid outbreak and the woman next door…

Well, I ended up at the hospital. Hope I haven’t told you this already! I went in an ambulance with three firemen on a med. training course and two medics. We arrived at 11am and I finally got home with poor Mark at midnight. First they thought my symptoms were pneumonia, but after 3 X-rays, going through some X-ray…

Hi, it’s past midnight and I’m sat here looking up RSVs SANDY. I started this thing I’ve got a month ago and it didn’t start with a cough etc. it started with severe back pain that made me think it was my bra. But no, the doc was right, infection and inflamation of the lungs, in other words pneumonia. I have had pneumonia…

I’m on day four of the five day medications. Came back from breakfast and promptly fell asleep after a sleepless night. Dry as a bone. Fatima woke me up coming in to change towels. So, sipping water. I had pneumonia once before, but nothing like this! However, I think I am on the mend after telling my dining room…

Decided to continue treatment for one more day at least. Day 3 of 5 days. Anne.

My goodness we all seem to be experiencing horrible medications these days. In my case I’ve taken the antibiotics for two days but I’m considering dropping them because of very adverse side effects which had me up all last night. Actually it’s around 3:50 am right now and I’m making porridge and a cuppa. Apart from the odd…

I’m here, and rather upset because I’ve just heard about King Charles cancer. I really like him and his concerns for the environment. As for me another night of no sleep and a day gasping for breath. I finally saw a stand in doctor for my Dr Tim and I really took to the new doctor as well. From South America I think.…

🌼HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIE!🌼 And you had a lovely day. A roast dinner and a glass of wine, with feet up to finish it off! Here we are back into the depths of winter. Still not sleeping so I know it was minus 4 overnight and felt it!

Jackie it’s 12:30 on February 1st as I sit in my pyjamas reading your post about the nasty council man. So I may be somewhat befuddled but I wonder is it possible that your present council want to clear the allotments of gardeners with a view to selling the land to make way for a housing estate? Are the allotments close to…

Mike arrived with Jilly beans dog food and treats and has now driven back to Toronto and work. He thinks I’ve been so ill because I was isolated for so long in the cottage which makes me now a target for everything going. I agree! After thirty five years living almost alone I now live with such a lot of folks, some very…

Hello, I wrote a fairly long post yesterday and it went to never never land along with Jackie’s I guess. In a nutshell I haven’t a clue what horrible bug I’ve picked up, but I haven’t felt this bad since I had pneumonia. It’s day13 since I tested negative for Covid, but left with something else. Both my boys will be over…

So where did my post go? Anne.

Morning. I’m sorry I’ve been absent but I’ve been rather ill with some new virus floating around. I tottered off to find the nurse a couple of days ago. Found her, feet up with another nurse having an animated conversation in some asiatic language. Anyway, explained I had severe back problems, and extremely frightening…

Big changes here. I think because of staff shortage and maybe to cut back on the numbers congregating for meals and thus increasing the Corvid risk, our original meals were rigid and communal at 8:30, 12:15 and 5:30, but now it’s a free-for-all of us to sit down whenever we feel like wandering in. Great news for me who was…

I was going to show my patio window and bedroom with the snow falling on the bushes, but it didn’t work. Try again later. Anne.

Early morning here, but thank you for all the comments and wishes. Mary Jo has been sending me photos of UNwired bras that look very comfy. JACKIE you had an awful experience over the hols with the unknown virus. I’m so glad you are okay now and surviving what Mother Nature, or rather man-caused throws at you. I sometimes…

It’s me feeling somewhat embarrassed but elated at the same time! I HAVENT GOT COVID! How can that be! I’ve got all the symptoms. Having another test tomorrow morning to make sure then I’m free to have breakfast in the dining room! The nurse wants me to see the doctor in case it’s another problem like asthma but I’m…

Early good morning because I tried not to fall asleep last night and of course I did. Woke up in panic mode like a fish out of water and for the second night I thought it was exit for Anne. Sounds dramatic but this virus is truly awful and I don’t need the lab results later today. I truly believe I’ve got Covid and if not…

It’s slowly warming up in Canada, but that means Jilly Bean wants to go walkies. How do you explain to a wee dog that mom is in quarantine until Monday when the test results come back from the lab. If I’ve got the dreaded virus, 12 more days in quarantine. Poor little Bean. The worst time for me is night time when I can’t…

Hello. Well I had a miserable night. No sleep for me. A sore throat and shallow breathing and gasping trouble. Mike was coming with a new phone for me the next day so fearing the worst I toddled off to the night nurses office to get tested for you know what at 5am. I was negative, but I was told to stay in my room and…

Thank you Jackie for Andrea’s email. I’ve just written to her. Anne.

Good afternoon. Well yesterday the four of us at lunch had a good giggle, after all we are still teenagers grown old. It was lunchtime and I plucked up courage to ask Bernie who’s 92 a very personal question. “What sort of bra do you wear because my underwire bras are very uncomfortable these days?” Back came the answer,…

Hello. Like everybody else we are experiencing extreme cold, it’s minus 8 Celsius and snowing. But, tomorrow it gets colder. Michael came over with his friend on Sunday, a) to introduce me to Tamara (who I immediately liked) and b) to bring me a home cooked meal of roast chicken breast with an interesting filling, roast…

Might as well say my piece. SANDY, there’s no way I’d have this man stay with me, STEP son in law or not. I think Michelle had a cheek asking you to put him up. Honest the unthinking people who put us in these uncomfortable positions. Believe me it’s an eye opener living here. Elderly men still thinking they are with it…

SANDY, these homes have empty apartments for visitors. Drawback, you have to rent on a day to day stay. I think this type of living would suit your outgoing personality, plus all the card games etc. i tend to be a bit of a loner, MOST of the time, not always. Visitors can eat in the dining room, but again, you have to pay…

Hi everybody. We are expecting snow all day, but overnight it rained so hard for hours I could hardly sleep for the loud drumming on my patio French window. Definitely a day for staying indoors and I don’t need the armchair JACKIE, my sofa WAS delivered so Bean and I can cozy up on that. I guess I really only need the…

Good morning. Well I’m feeling a lot more cheerful after being tested last evening in my pyjamas by a very nice nurse. I’m still upright, just got a very sore throat and cold, which I probably got from Gerty. She’s still in isolation because she’s testing positive but the meds suspect it’s just a very sore throat and a…

We used to sing, I will not cease from men to fight. Never knew it was mental fight, lol. We live and learn. Thanks LIN. Anne.

Mmm, I’m no expert Jackie, but definitely dark satanic mills. “And did those feet in ancient times walk upon England's green and pleasant land.” It was my old school song as well sung with great gusto by grubby little Yorkshire girls at Assembly. Happy days. Sigh. Anne.

JACKIE, I’m so worried about you. You mustn’t go to the allotment alone. Can you get a policeman to accompany you.?. Bullies are everywhere it seems. I never mentioned it earlier but I had a most unhappy time with a woman who lives close and complained the first day I arrived about Jilly barking when I left her alone when…
