Brew 5,408 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Today I am mostly in the doghouse. Decided the shower headed a clean, despite it being of the self clean variety, so took off and tried to dismantle it. Didn't succeed, but did manage to bugger up the seal, and reap the wroth of SWMBO. I'm being as quiet as I can in my office at the moment and dare not mention how hungry I am...

nonnaB 4,894 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Brew hope you got fed eventually. I love to dismantle things especially if they need cleaning. If it looks a bit complicated I put the parts in order and take photos of them as I'm dismantling. Its annoying ( as I've found) to have something left over that you dont know where or how it belongs, screws are a niusance for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,408 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Things I take to pieces usually contain self-losing parts. This time it was easy, nothing got lost, and the replacement from Screwfix took less than 10 mins to install. It's bigger better and has the seal of approval - Friday Steak n Chips night is again restored, and peace reigns once more at chez Brew. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I went for a second swim yesterday. 24 lengths. Plus a sesh on the weights. Today (Saturday) was a 'rest day' 'Back on 'yer Eds' tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 To quote some TV detective.. 'It's All Gone Pear Shaped....' I was happilly back into swimming and weight training..but... felt a bit 'iffy last Monday. Still..did the weights.. had a spot of Lunch then went for a swim.. All normal... Tuesday..feeling crap. No swim or weights. Pretty obvious I had a sinus infection. By Weds it was horrible.. feeling dreadful..pain in face, and the most smelly objectionable sinuses you could wish for. I sometimes get this after a cold.. though never this bad. but I've had no cold, so it looks like 'Swimmer's Sinusitis'. Tried saline washes using a 'Neti Pot', but no real relief. Obviously I've tested for Covid. All negative... So.. today feeling equally shit.. but maybe it is just 'goingover' a bit. From what I've heard.. I'd sooner have the Omicron...

mary1947 2,079 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Well today is the day? why!! well due to every thing going off in this world of our's we have decided to have a family meet-up. The older ones of the family are fine because we all used to go out/meet up/big family weddings/Parties and more The younger members are quite nervous because they don't relly know each other. It's sad because since the older members of the family are no longer with us, eg Mum's dad's grand parents, aunts & uncles we don't seem to have that family conection any more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 @DJ360 sorry you’re not feeling too good. At least the weather is sunny and warm (well, it is here!) so you can sit outside and soak up the spring sunshine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Although not today, but my day on Thursday...We attended our neighbours funeral service at Wealden Crematorium. It was only opened 3 years ago and it's a beautiful, peaceful place. Anyway, it were a lovely simple service and we were able to say our goodbyes. The day was lovely and sunny, with cloudless skies. When we came out and while walking back to the cars, mingling with relatives and friends, 'Er indoors suddenly stopped and declared..."I can smell toast "! Quite oblivious to where she was. I kid you not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks Margie. To add to the fun I have now developed what feels like a pulled muscle below left shoulder. Excruciating and something else preventing sleep..but..Hey Ho as they say.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 BK. I know I shouldn’t , but that did make me chuckle. Col, you really are in the wars, aren’t you! Even more reason for a bit of R & R outside in the sun x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Margie, it made us all chuckle. No doubt, if Betty was looking down on us, she would have thought it amusing too. When I reminded Tina where she was, she said she never gave it a thought. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Col, it seems to me due to the lack of physicals, and being isolated for so long you've lost your immunity to the crap in swimming pools, and having a heart problem, and knee a problem, and a shoulder problem, you are mostly broke! It's time to start thinking of the Zen lifestyle and contemplate your navel more! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
