Our local NatWest plays hideous music, really loudly. I really hate going in there, but had promised to pay some money into my son's account.
I was dreading it - but I opened the door and ...silence. I was so excited that for once it was just like a Bank and not Primani!
It made my day.

I think it's Age-related Macular Degeneration Roses but there again, I might have made that up. Don't know what PDT is but just glad it worked.

I have no idea what the initials stand for Ann but as it's to do with your sight, that's great for you!

After 19 months of treatment I was discharged by the consultant who has been treating my AMD. I am very lucky as it responded to PDT which very few people can have because their permanent sight would be damaged. I regularly spoke to others in the waiting room who have endured injections for 3/4 years.

An unexpected contact from our God Daughter who is very caring, although she lives the other side of the country she 'keeps an eye' on us.

DD told me she was out with GS1 and they saw the Big Issue seller outside the local shops. GS1 asked what he was doing so she explained that The Big Issue is sold by homeless people. He immediately went into a shop and bought a packet of biscuits and gave them to the surprised seller.

Hearing birds singing early today when out, planning a trip out tomorrow which will involve coffee and cake. Having a nice phone call with a cousin. grin

The antibiotic has kicked in after two days and my dental abscess isn't just as painful smile

I've just had a long FaceTime chat with the elder of our two step grandsons who called to thank us for his Christmas present. It was a nice surprise. Unfortunately I had just changed into my pyjamas which was a bit embarrassing but hey ho!

I met two new friends when I went to the supermarket, talked to another new friend on the phone and exchanged several e mails with another. This may all sound very ordinary but I moved to this area when my dh passed away and today made me feel I had done the right thing. I've been here for two years and already people know me. smile

The exploding head sensation that has been with me for weeks along with 'the cough' left for an hour. Its back, but I have hope.

Can add that having Skype as a live link makes me very happy every time I use it despite the great distance that separates OH and me from two DDs and their children. It is wonderful!

Rinouchka smile They are all human underneath it all, aren't they. Lovely.

A walk in the park after feeling rotten for last few weeks

If I knew how to do attachments on these posts via my ipad, I would attach photo mentioned above. The UN session was meant to allow the new Sec General to meet the journalists based at the UN. Obviously, they come from all over the world.According to my DD, he spent far more time chatting to 4 yr old GD than to any other (adult) individual journalist.
Spoke to GD today on skype and she told me he was a very nice man who looked like her grandpa !

NotTooOld Sat 07-Jan-17 18:06:52

My son phoned. xx

receiving an email from my distant cousin in South Africa!

Cottage pie at the garden centre. I really needed a good meal. #fliesarounddoinghouseworkandbaking

Doing a bit of hoeing in the garden today and it was flooded with the smell from a winter sweet shrub - absolutely delicious.

Daffodils!! the best £5 spend ,5 bunches of cheerfulness.

Wow Rinouchka! #topthat

That's one-upmanship Rinouchka in the nicest way,a bit of granny boasting is allowed.
