philmayfield 6,130 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The last time I went in there it was occupied by Goodmarriot and Hursthouse, the electricians. I took a motor in for a rewind. When they moved I think it became a golf equipment shop. The 'haunted' museum has got to be a load of nonsense. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did wonder about that as I’ve read that the Majestic was now a ‘haunted’ attraction.  I suppose the entrance  on Wells Road leads to the back of the Majestic?

carni 10,094 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Good Day. Today the sun was shining, so I came up with the bright idea of getting the cycles out of hibernation in the garage where they have been since October.  Seeing as I moan so much if I have to endure a walk in the park, Chris jumped at the chance. We decided to take it easy, seeing as we both have chest problems, just a five miler on the flat.  When we got home, we felt really pleased, today felt as if we have achieved something.  Onwards and upwards aye Miducks.  PS, Chris got a bloomin' puncture two miles from home . Daft Bo99er.   5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I like the casual reference to "just a five miler". If that's what you do when you're out of practice, what will you be doing when you're fit ?   1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 My daughter decided to walk to work this morning. 1/2 hr very frosty. Down the road she videoed 4 deer crossing the field. It's beautiful. Just lately on FB some people have been grumbling about them and wild boar crossing in front of their cars. My reply was for them to drive slowly and enjoy the site, it doesn't happen every day. Because of lockdown there arent any tractors or traffic to disturb them so they too are getting more adventurous. Tomorrow morning I'll go out about the same time to see them. I know we have quite a few round here but they're fairly shy. Those who are friends on FB I think my daughter will have already put it on my page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 My husband has just phoned me. He's had his op and is now in bed gradually defrosting. He had an epidural. I wasn't expecting to hear quite so soon so it was a surprise. Now he thinks he can do everything again as he used to......Noooo sorry you're going to stay put for a while your not indispensable. He should be home before the weekend. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,130 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Best wishes for a rapid recovery. He should get back to normal eventually but don’t expect an immediate transformation in mobility. The pain should be gone though. I was allowed to drive after six weeks.

nonnaB 4,895 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Many thanks Phil I will,pass it on. Last time he had his other hip,replaced he was active in a short time. The operation was in his groin instead of the leg. Apparently they don't do that op anymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,130 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I didn’t realise he’d already had one done. He knows exactly what to expect then. Mine was done last March when the virus kicked in. They panicked and released me prematurely. I knew I wasn’t ready but they knew better apparently. Anyway I relapsed and they had to send a private ambulance to collect me and have me back in for another couple of days. I would not recommend that particular hospital. The surgeon was brilliant but the on-site doctors came from a country where human life is more expendable! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Odd that. Someone I know had a hernia op at around the same time, privately. May have been the same hospital. He ended up back in there...twice! Â It was a double hernia and the first stage was done on the NHS with no problems, pre virus. He has a house in Cyprus as well as one here and needed to get the op done as his wife has MS and relies on him to a great extent. Â The friend who had stage 2 of an inguinal last December at Kings Mill has experienced no problems at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,130 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 You have to go in twice for a double hernia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Strange? I had a hernia done as a day case. In and out in 6 hours. Took my cycling magazine in thinking I could read it during the op but too drowsy. Stiches dissolved quite soon, then riding the indoor bike just over a week later. I was quite young then though having not tuned 70 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,130 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I had an epidural and thought I could watch the operation as I'm not squeamish but I must have dozed off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
