PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Reminds me of a prank I played on the skilled man I was under when an apprentice at the ROF. 'Bob' always made his tea properly in a pot and his tea break was almost like a ceremony. Everything timed, stirred and poured to perfection in his favourite, pristine mug. Unfortunately I knocked it from the bench one day and smashed it. Ooower! Anyway I was able to glue it back together using condensed milk. He never noticed until the next tea 'ceremony' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,497 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Thankfully yesterday lunchtime we both received a message from Randox informing us that the Day 2 PCR test we did following our trip to the USA was Negative so we were safe to go to a Charity Ball at the Nottingham Crowne Plaza.  The event was in aid of ‘Care After Combat’ which was set up some years ago by Jim Davidson for ex military personnel who got into a bit of bother and ended up in prison.  It was a great night with Jim on top form, I’ve always liked him although I know he’s not to everyone’s taste!  There was an Auction of various items, including a night at The Dorchester, with dinner, breakfast, spa treatment.  We bid on a day at the Auction House owned by Charles Hanson for a recording of Bargain Hunt, we won and this will be next September and includes breakfast and lunch.  Charles and his wife were on our table, as well as a really lovely knighted, retired Admiral of the Fleet.  It was a fab night which raised an incredible amount for military who have fallen on hard and difficult times.  We’re still suffering a bit of jet lag and didn’t wake up this morning til gone 9 am. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,713 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Not a bad day today. Had a fuddle at my Friday club, good spread, enjoyed the Indian finger food, bahjis (spelling) etc. Good food and enjoyable company. Got home and had a letter from NHS Bowel cancer screening saying sample was normal. Must admit this always gives me the collywobbles because of my husband, so great relief to get this. Took Jj for a walk and run after his ball on the park, back home fed him & he is asleep with his head on my knee. Life can be good some days despite covoid. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 SG dogs can be a comfort. Yesterday my husband had a nasty fall and ended up in pronto soccorso ( A&E ) . He had just come back at 6.45 from taking our dog out.  He got a nasty bump on his head and was worried about his latest hip replacement. TC scan revealed everything was ok and so was the hip after xray. The hospital Dr said at his age he was extremely lucky. Two of his sisters fell only a couple of days ago. Back to dogs, when my husband fell the dog got so close to him and licked him everywhere and wouldn't leave him. She follows him everywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,713 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Glad to hear your husband had no ill effects from his fall NonnaB, apart from a thorough dog wash! Just had an email from my energy provider to say I have got the warm home grant so £140 has been credited to my account which will pay next months bill and some of the month after. A good day just got better. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
