LM, I hope you enjoy the bowling day excursion; yeah, your husband will be fine without you, if left well stocked up. ;)
Also, hope there might be a break in the weather too so you can get your daughter's washing out.
I had thought to get grass cut today and washing out on line but no chance of that now as it is too wet.
Re: new med, I agree with you, I think I will be erring on the side of caution, disappointing as that is.

We have the wet stuff coming down today too so no grass cutting. We have the three grandkids for a sleepover tonight so it's going to be busy and noisy here!

Good to eventually get that BP done RTL, at least can review meds again with your follow-up visit and tweak to suit if necessary but is some concern if conflicting info both oral and written. Lucky to not have any prescriptions, one I did need authority to take for a while some years back had so many restrictions and side affects listed in printout. Looking back on it now quickly on line it says ideally max of one year and I think it was more than twice that but I gradually came off it and think specialist still has his overseas holidays without my input! Expensive to see him and meds without any subsidy but did have medical insurance for claims. Some time since visiting doc and ours has retired in meantime, however I received a letter last week to say I was due for blood tests to check for pre-diabetes and colesterol and the next day we went in for our jabs with the nurse and she mentioned it again, so all done and OK. She also took our BP and did my height and weight, haven't shrunk too much vertically at least, husband is a bit borderline on BP and it varies a bit but mine was OK so quite happy I've passed this WOF with a tick.

Tuesday was ANZAC Day, not sure but think Australia may have a full day public holiday, in NZ shops etc are allowed to open after 1pm. I attended a couple of local services to observe but not the dawn one this year, miss 8 granddaughter joined her Sea Scouts group in their city dawn parade at 6am and then as one of the 6 children her group that attend same school wore their uniforms for a small service the next morning there as well. Schools went back for start of term 2 this week, many having Monday off as a teacher only day and extension of school holidays with Anzac Day and Easter at the beginning of it so only about a week school for this April!

Funeral yesterday for husband of lifetime friend, they married 3 weeks after us and at the same place as we've lived not far apart and paths cross in various ways. Also fortunate that they made their 50th anniversary as his illness was diagnosed 43 years ago when their son and daughter had just started school, amazing strength both of them to manage it throughout but with great difficulty recently. Really sad but also really well prepared and a great service … from them jointly as well as the celebration of his life.
Lots of reflection afterwards as we drove out in the country on an errand later in the afternoon, a nice coastal trip today on another mission and fish and chips at the beach when that was done and good day for the drive.
Lawns all done while we were away today too, a bonus. Forecast not so good over the next week with weather watch on incoming tropical storm, will see what that delivers as it comes through.

Oh contradictions! They are worrying ,what to believe?
Hope you get a reply that brings your confidence back RTL.

Am I the only one who is getting quite offended by the ads for programmes knocking The Monarchy?
I wonder if the private lives of those involved would bear such scrutiny ?

Son down at Head  Office  today,back tomorrow,such a long haul.
All his bedding washed and in the line , will air it,all windows open already, make it up with fresh bedding tonight and that is done.

I have lost my papers for booking Covid jab!.Would nit throw them away so another good look ,I dud have a filing frenzy—- all divuments like statements etc in their respective files ,so will have to look there !
Oh Hecky thump!
Still a bit if sewing to do for the sheets etc fir baby Kyra’s pram and a dolly to make and dress.
We will take it down next visit .

Must crack on , cheerio, hope all are feeling reasonably well at least .
Viktoria.

Candleflame, I hope you enjoy time with Grandkids and aren't too worn out tomorrow. ;)

Mare, sorry to hear about the passing of your friend's husband.  That is good though that he kept going all those years after diagnosis and was able to see his 50th anniversary in.
I'm glad you enjoyed fish and chips at the beach.  We have to be very careful here as sometimes seagulls like to share if people venture to eat outdoors at the coast.

Viktoria, I hope your Covid booking papers turn up.  Also, I hope baby Kyra enjoys your home made gifts.  I recall my Auntie Dot (who was quite a dab hand at sewing) making me a bagful of dollies things out of her scraps, when I was a child and I was over the moon to receive such a gift.  I hope your Kyra will  be just as pleased to when she sees what you have made for her.
I agree with you re not liking people knocking the Monarchy.  I for one, would not like to live under such scrutiny.  I like King Charles, I think he seems to be a kind and caring person and I also think he has done a lot for this country through his charities and environmental concerns.

Re: contradictions .. well, I couldn't let it lie.  I had the opportunity to go back down to the same chemist this morning so  I did.  I told the assistant that I wished to speak to a Pharmacist and she went out the back and then out came a young chap.  Different one to the other young chap I spoke to the other day.  I told him that I was very confused about whether or not I can have grapefruit with my med.  I showed him the leaflet which says no, I said I was also told no at this very Chemist and then the grande finale .. I showed him the Doctor's text.  I half expected him to say he was going to ring the Doctor to put her right.  However, would you believe it he said he agreed with the Doctor that I can have it!  He says it is safe to have small daily amounts.  I said "Like a small tin?". " Yes" he said.  "And the juice?" I added.  " Yes" he said.
He explained that the manufacturer will not stipulate amount which is safe and large amounts aren't safe so they just say to avoid, however Pharmacist said he agrees with Doctor that a small daily amount is safe.
If this really is so, I wish that the manufacturer was a bit more clear on this instead of seeming to give a blanket ban.
Usually, I'm all for people having different opinions but when it comes to medication it would much clearer to hear everyone singing from the same hymn sheet.

When my Christmas stay at my daughter’s was longer due to testing positive on Christmas morning ,I needed more of my prescription drugs beyond the extra ones I had with me.
My daughter went to the local Chemists ,a Lloyd’s branch , and they got my prescriptions up on the computer, and gave them all to her.

My Thyroxine had a dire warning  on it not to have any caffein  within one hour before or after.
It says nothing like that in the notes with the tablets , except to take them at least one hour before or after breakfast .
It is puzzling.

Phoned re Covid papers, to local Health Centre and was told to ignore them as un a couple of weeks they will be doing them there and we will be invited to attend ,so one hundred per cent better.
I also reminded the a hospital I was to have an appointment re eyes in a couple of weeks time so the first was June, so not too bad,a bit over the four months stipulated by the Consultant ,and had I not phoned goodness knows when it would have been.

I never know how long we should keep such things as statements and paid bills.I must throw some away the first couple of years say .
So tidied lots of papers away today, bank statements, all statements for the standing orders I pay each month by direct debit etc etc.
I feel,quite smug !
I remember my mother in law’s filing cabinet ,it was a musical one ,honestly, well actually it was under the piano lid!

I always thought when I was little I would have one of those like a hook that you threaded bills and receipts on then hung it from the ceiling !
They did that in Shropshire .

I get impatient and choke up the shredder!

Well and truly tired now ,so an earlier night ,shopping tomorrow  and  a tidy round.

Just the dolly and her clothes to make before the latter end iof May  when  we will visit .
I said that earlier didn’t I !

Sad to read of your good friend ‘s death mare, but amazing he did so well for so long after the diagnosis .

Goodnight and God Bless ,as my Mum would say .
Viktoria.

Do hope everyone is feeling better after their vaccinations , mine soon so I hope I don't get any ill effects

Have a lovely time LM. No sun here, just the wet stuff so still no grass cutting can get done.

No sun here either, a short splash of the wet stuff. Enjoy it while you have it, seems to be four seasons in one week these days.  :)
