Re: A right now thread
I'm up and about far too early - so sat in the hotel reception type area having a very early breakfast!! Took advantage of being here to go get a blood test, so now I've got to hang around for a couple of hours before I go meet a mate for lunch!!
At least the coffee is good

Looking at the dark rainy weather outside and knowing I should have left for work by now, but CBA to do so…

Re: A right now thread
10mins ago I was sat in my nice warm car at some traffic lights watching the sparks fly from a passing tram, framed again the dark rainy sky. I could have happily sat there for hours... But I didn't and now I'm at work.

I only go in to work 3 days a week but am struggling to manage that in the winter.

Instead of sitting in the pissing rain on a bike for 40 mins this morning, I walked a twatty hound in the pissing rain for 40 mins.

Re: A right now thread
I've just had a late breakfast. Bit of a treat after the last three and a half months!! Sadly missing the black pudding, but it'll do. It was home made bread!!
I bailed on hitching to the valley to get some of the most awesome cheddar I've ever had (Lidl's special, starts today - last time it sold out before I could go back for more!! But it's also a REALLY good price, so I've asked a couple of friends to pick some up for me!! What doesn't fit in the fridge can go in the freezer! )
Now trying to persuade myself that I really should go to the garage to get my ski trousers so I can go for little ski tour in the sunshine. Sadly I just don't feel like anything more than sitting on the sofa all day - but I know I should do more!!
Waiting for results is as bad as doing the bastarding exams!!

Re: A right now thread
Just chilling on the patio and can hear fireworks in the distance.
It's a mega festival tmrw.
But it's sunny and bright so no bugger will see the fireworks. Maybe should have been after dark?

Re: A right now thread
Got a call from my step dad’s carers to say they found him on the bedroom floor and have called an Ambo. I’ve come round but can’t move him as he’s a dead weight and cries out when I try to move him. Ambo will be up to 2 hours. So nothing I can do but wait…

Try to make him as comfortable as you can, pillow, etc. Blanket / quilt to keep him warm.

Re: A right now thread
Sorry to hear that mate. As said, warm and comfortable as you can. You're doing as much as you can and moving him may cause further injury if something is broken.
Sips of water to keep him hydrated and try to sound confident and cheery as you can.
Best wishes and keep us posted.

Re: A right now thread
As i couldnt move him and they couldnt get an ambo there, they sent out 2 nurses and a guy from occupational therapy. All were fecking brilliant. H ecant stand/weigh bear so theyre going to get a bed and air mattress thing to try and keep him out of hospital. We've added another carers call and i'm off to buy incontinence pants for him. So sad to see his dignity stripped away, but as they say when you get old you dont just get the bus pass! I hope this makes sense as i left my bastard glasses round there! and havent got a clue wha im typoing!

Christmas is coming and your stable equipment needs to be in order for Baby Jebus. Get your stall mucked out and the manger full of fresh hay.
