Suits me just fine ! Aaaaaaaaargh! Edited to add....... I hate to hit 'like' for some of these things. Glad your wives are OK. It's just that some of the pictures it produces in the mind are funny. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,172 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well the fireworks are over for another year. Dogs handled it pretty well this time. Poor old Mrs. L took some kind of a neck spasm though. She was in a lot of pain. I thought I was going to end up driving to the hospital. She decided to tough it out with some Tylenol. It brought back a lot of scary memories of the late Mrs. Loppy. I had never realized up until that time that a heart attack in a woman produces quite different symptoms. I was afraid we were having a repeat performance. She had been sitting at her sewing machine all afternoon and thought that might have caused it. who knows? Thankfully she seems to be on the mend now. She should be able to do some gardening soon. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,166 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Another storm today, this weather is getting to me. Suffering high temperature during the day , late afternoon high winds and torrential rain, then sunny again. A bit like UK 4 seasons in one day. The pool in itself is finished and we started to fill it. Water pressure very low so ended up pumping water from the well. It only took just over a day to fill. Engineer came this morning to check everything and another one coming tomorrow. Only groutinog needed on border and the rest has to be brought to a level and probably tiled in a while.Anyway after 2 months and a half we can finally have an idea what we had planned comes to fruit. We are certainly fed up of having workmen around, having to watch the dogs dont escape. I have said all along that when the pool is ready for us it will rain ! Hey presto 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,172 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 That weather sounds like here, Nonna. We've had some pretty bad storms, usually in the evening or night. The night ones are the worst, my Beagle hates it. Nobody gets any sleep. Glad your pool is coming along. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Edited to add... I used to do lot of electrical work around pools back in my day. Sometimes a customer would invite me and the family to come over for a swim. Always remember one guy had a big sign up poolside. It said,. "I don't swim in your toilet. Don't pee in my pool! ". 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,172 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Not too sure about, Jake, Jill. It's a battle to give him a bath and Bailey is not much better. Edited to add.....I bath 'em outside in a kids wading pool in the summer. I stand in it with 'em. Much easier than trying to dry the bathroom indoors when they have finished. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 1,448 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Well isn't this getting old bad for you ,it seems nottstagia posters are getting their money back from the NHS lately I went to my GP a month ago , after some in depth questioning and examination she said you have probably have stomach cancer so she arranged an emergency appointment for a camera down to my stomach. After 2 weeks I had this, good news I only have a problem with my stomach lining. But with having lost 2 friends with the same problem, both only lasted about 3months, that 2 weeks was the longest worrying time of my life . In this time I transferred all my money and investments to my wife as I didn't want her to have the problems after I was gone, she hasn't given me them back yet. I am glad the others on here are talking to people about it as it dose help ,I made the mistake of only telling the wife and nobody else, it helps to talk so I encourage others if they have a medical problem talk about it with others. 8 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
