    I've included the car park and petrol station, but not the nearby junction I might drive through anyway. Just have to go there and see if it works now
    I've got an old envelope wot does that for me.

      I'm welling up here!
      I don't do emotional.

      I do guns.

      Lots of guns.

      Big guns (preferably), but little guns are ok at a pinch.

      Really enjoyed this week's NCIS LA for that very reason.

      Oh, and chaps exploding in lift shafts, that's always good for a larf too.

        There's posh then.

          My mother's been very unwell, off and on, since before Christmas. She kept having to take to her bed, and feeling terribly weak. Then she'd feel a bit better, and try to crack on with things, then relapse. She'd been to the doctor several times, and they'd arranged several tests; but things got a bit confused around New Year when her usual doctor wasn't available for a spell.

          Anyway, this past week she's finally felt that she's recovered. She also got to see her usual doctor. He revealed that the reason she's been in such a bad way is that she's had pneumonia since early December

          It seems like she's over it now, touch wood. He's got her on antibiotics for a week or so, just to make sure it's cleared up. But it's no wonder she's felt so rough

            Just imagine what it must be like with a home full of 'em.



            Down the corridor from ZeitPater, there's a poor old biddy who keeps calling for her mother.



            It's really distressing.

              Or even if they are actually befuddled or not. GMIL can hold a perfectly sane conversation but unless you know her you don't realise it's all completely made up.

              There's a whole range of behaviour from the residents in the home she's in now. She's convinced she's the only sane one there. Thats when she's not wondering if she's had her pay packet that week or trying to decide whether she should retire and move into a care home

                When mother was in hospital, the nurse was telling me about a confused old lady who kept insisting she was waiting for her mother to visit.

                Three days in, her mother, who was 103, did come and visit.

                    Morning

                    Builders have not turned up, not happy at all, rang them and they'll be there tomorrow

                    If the c*** thinks he's going to charge me for 3 days scaffolding hire on 2 days work he's got another thing coming.

                    Not to mention them buggering orf early yesterday.

                    He'll be getting an e-mail when the work is done stating exactly what I'll be paying for.
