Hi again elle
I think it's more the acceptance of the wife having the husband having to go downstairs (leaving her with the intruders!)

Hi, Rusty!
I just saw your post as I was replying to Chris.
Do you know the songs that he quotes?
I've just been talking to my daughter for the last forty-five minutes …...she rang as usual on her way home.
I feel sure your son would have let you know if he wasn't coming...….enjoy your chat!

Good evening, Elle!
Heavy rain here this evening.
Yes, my son was here as usual.
Great seeing him.
He is returning before Christmas Day.

Raining heavily here!
A waterproofs and wellies day...
I had a soaking wet dog!
I am off to the surgery for a routine Blood Pressure check very shortly....my appointment is at 11am
Out in the rain again!!
Catch you later......

Good evening, Elle!
Been a bit wet here, too.
Hope you got on fine at your BP check.
My practice do it once a year, used to be twice.
I have had a hectic day doing different stuff.
I think I have a bug, too!

Good morning, Rusty!
And a very wet one it is, too.
Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that you seem to have picked up a bug....
I hope you are feeling somewhat better this morning?
Better take care.....and stay warm.
Yes, my BP check yesterday was fine, thank you.
We have a general MOT of BP and Blood tests once a year, with an additional BP check thrown in after 6 months.
I was back at the GP surgery, though, in the afternoon, with my husband.
As you know, his health is not all that good now, and he has been feeling a bit "ropey" for the last couple of weeks.
I finally managed to get him to see a doctor yesterday.
So.... he is to take antibiotics for now...with blood tests and further hospital tests after the New Year.
I am relieved that he has finally agreed to an investigation.
Our elder daughter is arriving shortly for a quick visit...I think she will drive back this evening.
And our younger daughter is coming to see us tomorrow.
This will do us both good!

Good morning, Elle!
It's a fine morning here!
Yes, I do feel a bit more human this morning.
On antibiotics which will help.
We used to have an extra BP check but the practice stopped it.
Can't remember why, though.
Hopefully the antibiotics will help your husband to feel a bit better.
You will be having a busy weekend with your daughters arriving!

Hi, Rusty!
We have sunshine here now, too, instead of the earlier heavy rain.
I'm glad you are feeling somewhat recovered this morning.
Yes, the antibiotics should help both you and my husband, so keep popping the pills!
My daughter arrived about 10.30
We have been looking at the pictures of her potential new house.
They have had an offer accepted , and also have a buyer for their present property.
But it all takes time to process.
Fingers crossed that it will all progress smoothly.
Well.....I had better sort out some lunch!

Hi, Rusty!
Update.......our daughter has now left.
It was great to see her unexpectedly before Christmas, even though her visit was, of necessity, a brief one.
It was lovely of her to drive all this way, mainly to see her dad as he isn't well.
And how are you feeling now?
Have you felt fit enough to venture out , or (sensibly) stayed in to keep warm?

Good evening, Elle!
A very thoughtful daughter you have, Elle!
Well done, her, driving a long way to see her Dad!
I am on the mend, I think.
I did not go out today.
I am meant to go a-visiting tomorrow morn but I'll see how I feel then.
Hopefully I can visit a shop, too, or I will be eating into my canned food reserve!
