I feel much better than last night, thank you my throat is still sore but I don't have the cold shivery feeling today
What's everyone up to today?
Summer, I'm glad you are feeling a bit better this morning
The client who is having the major meeting as I type this will be coming to see me afterwards. It's likely to be mid afternoon. I will then know what has been agreed or if nothing has been agreed. If the meeting between the two people involved takes longer than anticipated, he may see me tomorrow instead.
Because I do not know yet what they will decide on I do not know what work, if any, I will need to do. It is likely that my involvement with the client will be coming to an end. It could be today or a few weeks but I'm not expecting it to be much longter.
Good morning everyone, a little later this morning than usual but it's been a very busy morning. I dropped my grandson in for day surgery on his shoulder first thing and then thought I would make the most of being in Barnstaple. So I've done the weekly shopping (had a wonderful full English beforehand in the cafe - really delicious I haven't had a fry up for years and years) filled up the car with petrol, went through the carwash (free of charge, you get a free one every sixth one) picked up some firelighters at Homebase, went to the garden centre for some more compost, another weigela and a clematis and finally finished off at M & S to pick up some bits. As you can imagine I am shattered but I've got some lovely munchies for later for my grandson as he's bound to be starving when I go and pick him up again.
I am so glad you are feeling better this morning Summer, remember how soothing and healing gargling with warm salt water is.
I hope your meeting goes well this afternoon EL.
A big hug for absent friends, especially Yogi who is having a wonderful time I hope.
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, I hope your grandson's shoulder surgery goes smoothly. You've had a busy productive morning. I haven't has a full English breakfast in years either but I generally try to avoid fired food.
I can't remember the last time I had anything fried EL but I knew I needed to eat something as I hadn't eaten since 4 yesterday afternoon and it seemed a good option. I think I enjoyed it more as it was such a change.
Squiggle, I agree with you, you did need food after quite a long gap.
My client rang to say they had finished their meeting and he will be arriving here about 2.
Good afternoon everyone
Sweet, so pleased you're feeling better today
Squiggle, I hope your grandson recovers well from his surgery and you have had a productive day already
El, good luck when your client arrives
I have just been shopping to the local town. Walked down the road to catch the bus. Got soaked. Shopped. Caught the bus back. Just as I got off the bus, it rained again. Got soaked
Still, home in the dry and warm now. Flippin cold out there today
Have a good day Buddies
My client has been and gone. I have some work to do but nothing time consuming. I will retain the client for the time being though it's more likely to be months rather than years.

Why is that EL? Is your client retiring?
Moonie sorry you got caught in the showers.
My grandson is home safely, the anaesthetic effect has not yet worn off on his arm, although he had a general I presume the shock effect will wear off in time and the arm will get painful. He has to go back in 9 days to assess but he must not move the arm away from the body for 6 weeks.

Fankoo Squiggle water off a ducks back, as they say
Really pleased your grandson is home safely. Lets hope the pain isn't to bad Did they give him painkillers?
I don't think I could put up with having my arm by my body for 6 weeks
But if that's how it has to be then that's it
Yes they gave him paracetomol and cocodamol, a week's supply but I stopped at the pharmacy on the way home and bought him paracetomol and ibuprofen so that if the pain goes on longer he won't have to worry about getting more. Luckily he has learned to sleep on his back because the shoulder kept dislocating at night if he slept on his side.
I wish your grandson a speedy recovery, is he staying with you?
Well lets hope he doesn't require many painkillers and makes a speedy and full recovery
I haven't exactly done a lot of work, at work, but I've got an awful lot done today- if that makes sense! My rare lack of customers today freed me up to get other much needed little jobs done
How was your day?

How was your day?
It makes perfect sense Sweet
How are you feeling now, after last night?
My day was okay except for getting wet, twice on the way to shop and on the way back
I definitely feel better in the sense that I'm not shivering or achey, but I definitely am getting a cold, my infamous runny nose has started
Stupid me forgot to buy a lemon too, no remedy drink for me tonight. I did have an aromatherapy bath though, that'll help
I wish your grandson a speedy recovery, is he staying with you?
No he has moved into a flat with a mate but his mum is just over the road and he says his mate is going to help him. I was very impressed he managed to get himself dressed at the hospital by himself, can't have been easy.
Do you have any whisky in? Some people swear by it if they feel a cold coming. I hope it doesn't last long
Nope, not really but it was stuff I needed, food stuff
I'm glad you are feeling better and here these are for you
or
Oh! I hope the aromatherapy does help Sweet
