Val's Cafe

Kerrsa

Evening everyone.

Went to the doctors this morning for my monthly blood test and was greeted with a woman losing it with the receptionist about something. Was not very nice to see especially as she had a young child with her. Sigh.

Then went to met a friend and played a little tennis mostly left handed, first time in 6 months and now am achy tonight. I asked for that.

Aidan, hope you are feeling better soon.

Glad you had good news from your Rheumy Kathleen.

I had good news earlier in that I was given a gymnastics grant worth £1700 for new equipment and 14 sessions with a coach. The kiddies will be very happy.

Time to take achy body to bed. Stick to swimming me thinks.

Hello Kathleen Kerrin Aidan Barbara and anyone else I missed.
Kathleen i'm so pleased for you that the Rituximab has helped you.
Kerrin i'm pleased you got the grant. that's me left handed.
Aidan sorry you have a chest infection I hope it don't take too long to go it pulls you down and wears you out. a Scone will help i'm sure.
Barbara i'm pleased your neighbour will be coming home I hope they can stay in their home near people they know. we had sun yesterday.
take care all

Evening to all, hoping everyone is as ok can be.

Oh dear Kerrin, you seem to be having more than your fair share of irate people at the moment, grouchy people arguing with the receptionist, will not get her any Brownie points with the Surgery. I know ours has a zero tolerance on rude and or abusive behaviour.
No example to behave in front of a child either.

Played some tennis, very good, although you are aching now.

Great news on receiving the grant for sports equipment and coaching for the gymnastic team. Are there any results in yet.

Hi there Barbara, that wind was darned cold and was fair howling round and had been for a few days. Much more calm today and sunshine on and off.
Good to hear that you (collectively) have spoken to social services regarding your elderly neighbours - it would be lovely if they could stay in their own home, with support and care on a regular basis. Good idea to water the brandy, lol.

Scones are a must for anyone not liking too much sugar, well, that's my motto
Oh I am jealous of your friend, having had botox. I would not hesitate, not at those botox parties, but maybe at the same clinic where I see my Cardiologist. A reputable hospital / clinic. Creams and potions seem to be just about holding things together at the moment, but, when needed, I will be off like a shot.

No signs of decorating at present. OH has a bad head cold now, so with me hacking and him sneezing, we are a pair. Pepe always has to check if OH is ok after his loud sneezes I just jump out of my skin. :? I think my antibiotics are starting to kick in and the steroids are giving me the munchies, as they normally do.

You can indeed put weight on with various meds, steroids are a known cause of weight gain. I have taken a lot of ranitidine for more years than I an recall, they cause weight gain in the chest area, moobs, yes, I have moobs :shock: :roll: :roll: I think liposuction as well as botox, in fact I will have a tummy tuck at the same time.

Hi Joan, thank you, I am sure I am already on the mend, barking, but on the mend and scones do help, I am sure of it. They have a psychological benefit
Only one more day till they fix your heating, it has dragged on so long now. It has warmed up a bit now that the wind has dropped. I am in my own heatwave, as normal.

Elizabeth, I hope you are in less pain hun, thinking of you and sending lots of good vibes your way.

Toni, I hope you, Paul Lucy and Diddicat are doing ok. I am not sure if there was skyping today while we were out, Pepe was keeping tight lipped.

Carol, I trust all your family are mending and feeling better.

Hi to Mig, Christine and all.

I decided that I was being taken out for lunch today well, it was Valentines. So, I was taken out and very nice it was too. Haddock goujons with fresh tartare sauce on a lovely muffin, with chips. OH had a full English. I was tempted by their scones, but as OH said, they won't be the same as Mrs Scones, so I resisted and we had sticky toffee pudding and custard after supper tonight.

Better move, the joints might be masked by the steroids, but I can feel them none the less. Pottering time.

Everyone take lots of care XXXX Aidan

Morning Aidan. Busy day for me yesterday Lucy wanted to go out and about with her friend and Paul took me out for a meal for Valentine's day.

Yes plenty of skyping going on! Tuna-y lap-top when I got back in :roll:

She tried to get me in it!!!

Are you feeling better?

Physio today.

I took ranitidine while Lucy was on chemo. Due to her having C-diff and your resistance being lower if you are on lanzop. That explains it!! Now if I had some plastic surgery it would be to get rid of these jowls!! What is that about?? :shock:

Paul does loud sneezes. No need in my opinion just attention-seeking How sweet is Pepe....ahhh!!!

Joan we has some sunshine too yesterday. Radiators tomorrow for you

Barbara yes the house is lovely although it would look better with a thatch



I am glad you're diluting the brandy. Don't want any falls for your neighbour. I hope they can pop in some carers for the lady so she can stay at home with her sister when she's discharged.

Kerrin it's horrible when people yell isn't it? I hope it didn't upset you or the child - who might be used to it I suppose. :roll:

Fabulous news getting that grant!! You must be thrilled and well-done for playing your tennis.

Right better get on

Love to everyone missing

barbara12

Morning all social services are going to send 2 carers twice a day to our neighbour for now..then see how it goes..they are both mobile ..but just need more help with the sister being poorly..home today I think..
Aiden there are so many bugs going around..hope you both feel better soon..not long off spring.. what is it with loud sneezing..my OH is the same..the walls shake.. you got out for Valentines how lovely did you get a card ..we didn't do anything.. :roll: after 47 years we dont bother... I wounder if we all book plastic surgery together..we could get a discount..
Toni what a stunning building..I love architecture..the lady must feel so bless to live there..I hope that Lucy pain is subsiding..
Joan we had sun early on but its gone..not bad at all for February..I think you said they are doing the boiler tomorrow..hopefully you will then be nice and warm
we still have to decorate were they chiseled out for the wires..OH has taken the paper off the fireplace wall then we can have a change after whatever years..the others can be patched up..
Love to everyone xxxxxxx

Hello Aidan Toni Barbara and anyone else I missed.
Aidan I hope your infection soon goes but it has to run its time as well as a cold. I hope you have a good day.
Toni did Lucy and her friend go up in the balloon. I hope Lucy has not got a lot of pain.
Barbara I was reading the first few pages of the café is the café still
a porta cabin. we must be small. it was cold out this morning.
take care all
joan xx

Kitty

Yesterday was so nice - apart from cold wind. We did the Sawley trail, much more pleasant going through the park without mucky mud collecting on my 3 wheeler. Lovely bird song too. No sea gulls, just sparrows and finches, with some blue tits/great tits.

Joan, I didn't know we were a porta cabin. I thought it was a genteel Edwardian tea room/medical ward/petting zoo. Hope your radiators are back working.

Barbara, good news that your neighbour will get some help for a while.

Afternoon all

I thought you must be having a busy day yesterday Toni. Lucy and her friend out and about and you out for a meal too, it was all "doing lunch" for valentines and why not.

Yes, there was evidence of Tuna. Much keyboard cleaning. Mr carpetglider is pretending to be asleep, but he has his pig ears on, listening.

No, don't try the balloon, puskins don't mind heights, but not good for our human vertigo.

Jowls, well, they appear, as if from nowhere, I will look like Deputy Dawg soon. :roll: We have just bought a neck trainer, (you can get them on Ideal World), they are really good for toning up the neck and jowls. I thought it would play havoc with my spondolytis, but it is ok. Worth having a l@@k at.

See, Paul does loud sneezes and Barbara's OH too, I do more refined ones, lol not blowing the windows out. Pepe is always observant of sneezes. The girls don't bother at all. OH is still sneezing, but not as much, still snotty though I am barking, but not as bad, drugs seem to be working.

The house looks very nice - We will take it I am not so sure about thatch, never appeals to me, spiders and bugs and the like. Probably my imagination, as it does look beautiful and is a really skilled trade.

Hi Barbara - so glad to hear that Social Services are going to arrange for two visits a day for the lovely ladies, good that she is coming home today too, her Sister will be so pleased. Bless them both.

No cards, no, we don't do cards for each other, never really have done. Lunch and scones are more than fine

We are mending, Oh is still sneezing and going through tissues at a rate of knots. I am drugged up to the nines, which is fine, nothing new there :? :roll:

I am sure if we all checked into the beatifying hospital, en mass, we would get a discount.

Hi Joan, one more day to go and heating, hoorah. I think the cafe has expanded, it might look small from the outside, but it is like the Tardis, enormous inside, wards, cupboards, cloakrooms, secret potion department for Mig. It just goes on for ever

Glad you enjoyed your trip round the Sawley trail Kath, listening to the birds. It is much warmer today, 14 I think the car said :shock: are we in Spring now? glad your 3 wheeler is keeping clean, much better without muddy wheels. Even our car is keeping reasonably clean.
The sky is as black as soot, rain forecast this afternoon at some point, very soon me thinks.

Went to have my feet done at our hosp in Clitheroe, all nice and new it is, there is never anyone in there, we always have the whole place to ourselves :? :shock: There are two wards, mainly for rehab from the bigger hospitals, as a step towards home. They do a lot of OP clinics, there is physio, OT, X Ray etc, but oh so quiet. Not that I am complaining.
Duly clipped and trimmed, feel better. Suggested that we sneak off to the GC for a cheeky coffee, seeing as they are only 1/2 mile apart. Then said, well, best to feed a cold, so had bacon and egg muffins and scone and coffee's All very nice.

Now just pottering and fussing about. Cats are very busy resting. They will come to life about 5pm.

hi to everyone else, lots of love, take care. XXX Aidan

applerose

Kerrin, it's awful when people shout like that, especially in front of children. There is no need for it. Hope you enjoyed playing tennis. Guess we need to pay the price for doing some of the things we love. Congratulations on getting the grant. Great for you and the kids.

Toni, how did Lucy's physio go today? Not too painful, I hope. What a beautiful house. I like a thatched roof. Not to worry about the church photo. I can imagine it. I do have a light magnifier. Keep meaning to get it out but keep forgetting. I almost went in to the garden to do some tidying but I needed to go out to do a couple of things then bumped in to a neighbour so it was nearly teatime before I got home.

Barbara, good to hear your neighbour should be home today and that they are getting carers. I've been sneezing much louder than I used to. Age maybe? Captain Cook was born about 8 miles from where I live. The cottage was dismantled and taken to Australia and rebuilt in a park in Melbourne, where my daughter now lives. I've told her we want it back.

Joan, I didn't know the cafe used to be a portacabin. Maybe there was an extension built. It does seem quite big now, what with it having it's own hospital ward now. Thursday tomorrow. Hopefully, you're heating will be running properly.

Kath, great news about the Rituximab settling your vasculitis. It sounds as if you enjoyed your walk. No, you don't want to be getting clogged up with mud. I mean your 3-wheeler, not you.

Aiden, I seem to be doing a lot of very loud sneezing lately. Didn't used to. Wonder if it's an age thing. :? Glad you and OH are feeling a bit better.

I wasn't working today so thought I'd get a few things done round the house. It was a lovely day so I walked to the High Street as I had a few things to do there. On the way home, I bumped in to a neighbour so after standing chatting for a while, it was nearly teatime so I didn't get anything done in the house. Not to worry. It'll be there for later. Talking of loud sneezing, I'm watching The Real Marigold Hotel and Lionel Blair has just sneezed very loudly. The others all jumped and someone said she thought he'd blown his head off.

frogmorton

A very quick post....kids have borrowed my laptop! So this is my phone. Apologies in advance for any spelling mistakes.
We certainly were a Portacabin after the great forum crash of....what year was it?
Since then though we have expanded to incorporate all the eareas Aidan listed and more we may yet explore!!!
Joan will have heating today! No humans have tried the balloon l promise.
Katherine did an amazing walk....Christine talked too much and didn't do what she planned on her day off......Barbara's neighbour will be home soon with carers
Kerrin's pusskins are behaving as usual but no news yet on gymnastics results....
Aidan and OH are sneakily ridding themselves of jowls but getting over bad chests and sneezes. Pepe is still on sneeze and carpet duty.
I think we should organise a visiting plastic surgeon for the day soon and we can all have our faces done (etc).
Love
Toni xxx

Hello Kathleen Aidan Christine Toni and anyone else I missed.
Kathleen sorry it was a porta cabin then that was knocked down.

i'm pleased you had a good walk.
Aidan it's nice to have your feet done it makes walking a lot easer.
I hope both of you have a good day.
Christine i went in the chemist and saw eye pads you could warm.
yes the heating should be done to day.
Toni i hope you all have a good day to day.

morning to one and all

As Toni mentioned, the cafe is ever expanding now and there are areas that have yet to be discovered. We do have one new area that is pus cat friendly



Here are the days selection of cakes

Hi Christine - so you are sneezing loudly too - oh dear, Pepe will be on high alert with everyone blowing the windows out
OH keeps looking at the garden, to do some preening, but not while full of cold, mind you, one good sneeze outside and the garden would be cleared. :shock:

I am sure you neighbour appreciated a little natter. The garden will still be there, a bit like housework and ironing, it never goes away.
Yes, we want Captain Cook's house back, I didn't know it was out there in Melbourne. Nice to learn something every day

The cafe was quite small at one time, a comfy chair by the fire, chairs by the window, serving area with tins of cakes, a T urn, coffee machine, a tunnel into the bar area ( we won't go there), some "facilities" that were of dubious health and safety standards.
We are much better catered for now.

Hi there Toni, so your laptop has been purloined. Hope Lucy and her friend are ok. Leaving you with the phone, not always easy with fingers and thumbs. Our Niece can type away on her phone like lightning, I am there for ages :roll:
Yes, we are de-jowling and yes, if we can arrange a plastic surgeon to come in for the day, that would be wonderful. We can have Dr George assisting and Charlie and Duffy in recovery area.

Hi Joan, how is the heating going, I hope it is all but done now and you can be toasty warm, for the first time in ages.
It is nice having your feet done, always feels a lot better and OH can get my socks on easier when I have toes and not pigs trotters

Well, I had better potter some more, washer is finished so I will go fuss in the kitchen.
Hi To Mig Carol Kerrin Barbara (who will post as soon as I do, lol) Elizabeth, Kath and all
Everyone take lots of care XXXX Aidan

Kitty

WOW! Loving the pus cat area, taking my cuppatea and crusty white bread and goat's butter through there. Need to have a stroking session or five.

All you sneezy folk have probably heard this: http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/767603/cold-virus-symptoms-cure-vitamin-D
I was wondering why I haven't had a cold for a couple of years, probably down to the calcium + vit D I take twice a day.

Joan, glad to hear your heating will be fixed today.

:animal_busy: :animal_busy: :animal_busy: :animal_busy:

frogmorton

Hi Kath

Isn't it lovely...all these cats!! Keep all our blood pressures nice and low

I very rarely get cold either. One in 3 years maybe?

Joan did your heating get fixed finally? Just in time for this milder weather. Lucy had a steady day yesterday as she did a bit too much with physio!

Aidan I can do the phone ok...but not much fingers/thumbs/eyesight!!! My girls are fabulous with theirs so fast.

I have my laptop back now bless them. I wouldn't mind, but Lucy actually has a mac!!

I think I will book Paul in - I am worried that he will get his Mum's 'turkey-neck'??? Maybe he ought to come off his diet :shock:

I agree we need Charley Duffy and George on duty.

Today I am taking the girls to look at wallpaper for a feature wall in the basement....

As for that tunnel Aidan - didn't we dig it ourselves???

Daisycat will be over later for circat training. Her new meeuw-tard has arrived

Tell your OH I planted some seeds yesterday indoors of course. I was most distressed to find they were the tiniest things imaginable :shock:
Snapdragons

Will do some more today.

Steady

dachshund

Hello Aidan Kathleen and anyone else I missed.
Aidan yes we have everything in the café/hospital. the man came to fit new heads to the rads but had the wrong ones so he put in new pin's so after an hour he left when I looked at the boiler window it was blank I pressed the knob that brings I have pressed before and nothing. sue phoned he came back after his dinner and said I don't know what made that happen he got it going sue said I don't trust it he said I don't and i'm doing it. he's back on Tuesday.
Kathleen I take vit D every day. I hope you have a good day.
Toni I hope you find the wall paper you all like. i'm no good with my phone I do it slowly with one finger the same as on the forum.
I had my pre op test and passed it. I have not got the date yet.
take care all
joan xx

Kitty

Sun is shining, but still quite cold. So angry that Joan and Sue still have radiator problems. :x I hope they sort it out soon. :shock:

Toni, I hate using my phone. Apart from phone calls and texts, I sometimes use it for FB, but can't see things properly! Puss cat therapy is much nicer than taking Felodipine every day.

Turbogran

Evening all hope you have all had some better weather today it has been quite nice here not hot but not too chilly either. it's been a few days since I was in last for a cuppa love the idea of the cat area nice to have a cuppa while you chill out stroking a cat.

To give you an update on us here its been not to bad a week mixed with good and bad.

our dog (snowie) was in a lot pain with one of his hind legs he does have arthritis in it so I think maybe the cold weather we have been having has something to do with it, all I know is on Sunday morning when Mr Turbo went to take him out to garden as usual he started yelping as if in pain and carried this on as he went out, on returning he was shivering so I stayed in with him instead of going to church and he spent all day virtually snuggled up in a fleecy blanket asleep on the sofa.

I have also been having problems with my knee due to the cold

Mr Turbo is feeling a bit sorry for himself tonight as he has had 2 teeth out today unfortunately he does not have a very high pain tolerance so suffers a bit more than some people.

on the upside we had a good day on Wednesday when my Granddaughter was in London for a few days so we arranged a surprise visit from her and the great grandchildren to pay him a surprise visit so I met them early and had arranged to meet him in a café he always goes to on a Wednesday lunchtime and of course when he arrived grand daughter a little ones were there too with me. so he met the new baby for the first time. it was a surprise because he wasn't expecting to se her until her christening in May .

Yesterday I had an NHS check up at my DRs and it was all good news only thing she was concerned about was that my blood pressure was a bit high but I hate having that done and never really relax is it often is up a bit.
Today I have had my usual coffee and knit session with my friend in Costa near where I live.

well must stop yapping now and move as I have been seated in this armchair for a while so I may well get stuck here for the night if I don't

take care everyone love to you all

bubbles

later than ever, so this will be a quick hello and n night. I don't know where the day has gone to be honest. Will write my usual thesis tomorrow.

Toni, glad you have your laptop back and hope the wallpaper has been chosen. Miss Diddicat looked lovely in her new meeeeeowtard, Pepe was very impressed I think the tunnel caved in, wasn't the "gents" through there and we were always having to bleach :shock:

Thank you for the curry Barbara, I will enjoy it.

Joan, your radiators are becoming a terrible saga and if the plumber does not trust the boiler, oh my days. We will have to get the bus out, it's no good. Toni, if you would be so kind. We need to go see Joan and Sue.

Carol, you have been planning and carrying out lovely surprises for your family, how lovely. I hope you OH is feeling better, sympthies with tooth extractions. Symapthies too with knee pains, lavender pats on the way. Poor Snowie, sending warming hugs, bless

Kath, Mig Elizabeth Kerrin Christine and all, leaving hugs to one and all.

We are ok, just been one of those days of here, there, everywhere and then think, did we get everything done :?

a demain xxxxx Aidan

Aidan I hope that old mac was sealed up in the 'gents'. Terrible job to clean in there wasn't it. Full theatre scrub gear!!!

I have the bus ready



Joan and Sue shall be rescued!! Shall we take Barbara's husband to have a look?

Diddicat has yet to take her meeeuuuwtard off :roll: She'll be over to see Pepe later. Skyping has happened again overnight. She is cross with me for lending one of my physio balls to the wee Yorkie for her physio :?

Carol I'm glad you enjoyed stroking one of the cats while having your cuppa

Poor Snowy maybe he needs some metacam - animal ibuprofen!!! I hope he is much better today ((())) I bet he knew your knee was sore too.

2 teeth for Mr Turbo? Bless him - and you looking after him.

What a great surprise!! I bet he LOVED seeing them all and the baby too

I hope your BP was only high due to being at the doctors. Are you knitting anything special now?

Barbara it is a very good job the neighbours could telephone you all to be rescued :shock: I hope the SS have things under control now and all is well today.

Yes the basement is for Lucy she will have a sort of sitting room and bedroom and loo with shower (tiny) and handbasin.

She chose about 8 wallpapers so we are musing all weekend

Kath I can zoom in on my phone, but then I loose where I am. Nope I refer my laptop any day!!

Good to hear Cat-therapy is better than felodipine

Joan I am very pleased to hear the pre-op went well and you are fit for surgery. The date should be soon now

Not so good to hear about your heating. The boss-man needs to come back and see it now doesn't he? I heard we are due warmer weather at least. Aidan got me to get the bus ready :roll:

Take care both of you

Morning All

Joan Thank you I hope your weekend is good too, we have a Staff x Dalmation .
Toni Nothing like a stroke or a cuddle of cat or dog when you are feeling a bit down whatever the reason. Snowie has some canine glucosamine tablets which I got yesterday so hope that makes an improvement but we need to look at the fact that he is 12 so getting to be an old man now so these things will happen. Mr turbo is not too bad this morning says it just feels a bit stiff and at the moment eating softish foods and warm not hot drinks . he loved seeing the kids on Wednesday. i'm Knitting a cable jacket for eldest great granddaughter in red and a sparkly pink and black stripped cardigan for youngest one.
Aiden yes Wednesday was a day for surprises. Mr turbo on the mend this morning. we have now got Snowie some doggy glucosamine tablets which he loves so hoping he will bee doing more of this soon :running_dog: and yes he is very sensitive to your pains and feelings

take care all as must now go out and get some shopping bits.

bubbles

Morning to all - A very bright day, is it Spring now? Big bees out this morning :bee: :shock: hang on bee's it's a bit early really. Things are growing a pace now.

Just waiting for Mum n Dad to pop in for a coffee, we don't plan on going out this week end.

Pus cat therapy is very important Kath and very good for the blood pressure. Cats are a bit like other pets, they pick up on how we are feeling and also what is wrong with us. The lovely vet in France had done a lot of clinical research, saying that cats can take on their owners illness' :? :shock:

That was a bit scary Barbara, the carers not turning up for your neighbours. So good that you all rally round. They did that when Dad was poorly at home, leaving Mum to manage. Not often, but Mum never rang to let us know until we visited the day after :roll: :roll:
Yes, it is nice to have your feet done, always feels better, although I cannot feel my toes really, which is very odd especially in the shower, not knowing if there is hot of cold water on them. Damage to my back rather than the diabetes, so the orthopod said. The local hosp is very quiet, especially in the out patients area. I will be back there this coming week for my retinopathy test. Just once in a while I think, yes, I would like to work a shift on a ward, then I wake up and think no, I am better off retired
Trish and Val were both so wonderful, miss them both.................
Glad the carers came in the evening and thank you for the curry, I will take whatever is going

I do seem to remember there was a lot of digging in the tunnel Toni, it was not my favourite place, with spiders and things lurking.
Goodness, yes, Mac :shock: :? It was def scrubs, to go in and clean.
Thank you for bringing the bus round, is that miss meeeowtard in there, jumping between the seats. Oh, I see, there is a new piece of training equipment



Pepe has been trying out some weights



Sorry, the bus trip, yes Barbara's OH can come with us, Joan's boiler has to be sorted, it has gone on long enough now. Bless them. I will pack some scones and some ceramic radiators to tide them over.

8 wallpapers, indeed you will be musing for a day or so. It will all be lovely when it is finished. Like a mini annex

It is a case of everyone saying contradicting things isn't it Joan, it is the boiler, it is not the boiler, the rads, now none of them work. :shock: I hope the weather being a bit warmer, helps a little, not much comfort though if you feel the cold. Take care both and hugs to the doggies. We will be there on Monday morning, armed and dangerous

Glad Mr Turbo is on the mend and hopefully the glucosamine will help Snowie. I see those knitting needles are out and busy ( I did try cable once, but ended up in knots).

I am sure I have missed someone? Forgive me if I have. I have woken up deaf in one ear this morning, still coughing, AB's and steroids are finished. It won't be the first time I have had to go back for a second course, will see how things go.

Having a cannot be bothered afternoon now. Even thinking about taking the drying out is far too much to consider. :roll: :roll: Bad case of idleitis.

On a lighter note, has anyone watched the new Cruising with Jane McDonald, it's a joy, have loved the two shows so far. We are all set to book and go see her in concert later this year. Just got to ask theatre about disabled seating as I cannot sit in the normal theatre seats.

I am away, I will go make a drink. See if I can manage it without throwing the tea all over the work tops. We were awash the other day. :?
Love to all, take care XXX Aidan

Aahh, Pepe looks so cute lifting weights. There ought to be feline Olympics for the pus cats.

Just to make you smile, Tesco's customer lift was out of order so I had to go up in the trolley lift. Thankfully I managed to go down on the travelator. I was a bit worried because one of my brakes doesn't work. :shock: LE already has a Shopmobility, but a new shop has opened called Seacroft Mobility.
