Boy did it rain last night somuchso my entrance to The Park this morning was flooded :-0

If you recall before Xmas I told you that GeordiePride aka GP was in hospital <3. Well, he has been in and out of hospital since then and he is, sadly, once again back again in hospital. I should add that it isn't Covid related but the hospital will keep him in this time until they know exactly what ails him and the best way forward <3. I'm not sure if GP looks in anymore but nevertheless I just thought you'd like to know how our dear friend GP was <3 <3

Hugs for them that need em <3 <3

Morning Belle. <3 :-D

I remember GP. Sad news, but I hope he recovers quickly. <3 :-D

Wet here but at the moment it's stopped raining. There was snow mixing in with the rain for a few minutes around 8 am but it has come to nothing. Far too warm. :-0 :-D

Morning Joy <3 :-D

I do believe the sun is trying to make its way through the cloud :-D

Hope all goes smoothly today, Von :-) <3

Morning Belle :-D <3 Joy :-D <3

Did Von say what time <3

Morning Fly <3 :-D

I don think she did :-)

Little devil she is ;-)

Morning Fly. <3 :-D

Von getting the jab? She'll be pleased. After jabbing so well here, they seem to have come to a sharp halt in our area from what I can gather - and just when my OH and I were expecting the call. :-|

Time to make myself presentable. I have a delivery in an hour.

Back later girls. <3 :-D

Afternoon all :-D <3

All done and dusted within the hour including sitting for 15 mins afterwards. :-)

Sorry to hear about GP. I do hope he gets back home soon <3 <3

Afternoon Von <3 :-D

That's good to hear :-) <3

Afternoon all :-)

Pleased it went well for you Von :-)

Best wishes to GP. Hope he returns home soon and is able to post again.

Another dismal day here, but the bulbs are pushing through and offering a glimmer of hope for better things to come :-)

Afternoon all :-D <3

Hope GP gets well soon last time I had contact was at Christmas <3

Rain here today, Rory of to the vet for his checkup
I swear he knows where he is going, shaking all over
<3
Hope everyone is well and coping with life at the moment <3

Afternoon everyone :-D :-D <3 <3

It rained all night here as well...very heavy and added to the already sodden ground :-(

Sending hugs to you GP and hoping you are back home soon <3 <3 <3


Emms...I see NS is spitting her dummy out this morning and not inviting Boris to lunch :-D :-D :-D

Von <3 <3 <3

Some stuff wiped and put away, the rest can wait.

Just opened a letter asking me to make an appointment for my cv jab which I shall do so after my meagre lunch.

Ann wouldn’t sit at the same table with either of them :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Afternoon Piers, McMinxy & Ann <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D

That's good,Joy....you thought they had stopped :-)

Boris refers to NS as Moanalot :-D :-D. I don't think he'll be too worried about not having lunch with Moanalot ;-) :-D

Mext Monday morning for us.

I must say I was unimpressed with the NHS 'approved sites' when I rang the number in the letter. Eventually she came up with the Nightingale Hospital some miles away and I know they are vaccinating nearer.

I told her I would try online when she said that her number only offered larger vaccination sites. (They didn't because I remember two pharmacies were on - which leads me to think that some areas are not distributing vaccines very well and government, having opened large sites wants to utilise them as much as possible.).

Oldest brother has just rung telling me that he has just managed to get a jab appointment for Monday afternoon, after I had told him his local pharmacy was on the list.

First I rang the docs only to feel guilty because the recorded message had not changed, ie don't ring the surgery, you will be contacted - so I quickly rang off.

It was the same choice online though. However, when we'd decided to go for ithe Nightingale and I was in the midst of booking Sunday for both of us, our own surgery rang and asked us if we'd like to be vaccinated so we are going on Monday to our local hub (of which our doctor is a member) - not our surgery but nearer than sites offered by NHS online and 119.

I rang my wheelchair-bound pal who told me that her OH (almost 80) had gone online when they got their letters yesterday and he'd been offered sites in Manchester and Bristol - they live in Durham and his current illness prevents him from driving. He then rang the doctor who told them that either their village or the next one to them are expecting to have supplies next week.

Such a crazy situation made even worse when someone at the other end of a phone or who has written a computer program thinks Durham is near enough to Bristol for a sick 80-year-old to get to.

Better organisational skills are needed methinks.

Shame that Joy :-(

I know of at least six people who have been offered vaccinations and they have been impressed with the organisation before and when they were vaccinated :-)
