Good morning, another lovely day here in the NE.
Sister is flying home today and DH is taking her to the airport before he goes to his hospital appointment.
I will do a few jobs around the house as nothing got done yesterday, every muscle and joint hurt.

Looking very overcast here at the mo although the forcast is some sunshine. Off to HighGate cemetary this morning for a tour of the headstones and tombs!!!! Then Kenwood House this afternoon, i had never heard of it but when i googled it it looks beautiful. Just hoping the sun does come out as i hate having to take jackets and brollies everywhere'just in case'
Have a great holiday Urmstongran and a lovely day is wished to all.

Another beautiful start to the day here on the NE coast. The sea is shimmering.
Good morning Mick and all to follow.
I’ve had similar field tests done a few times in the MS clinic and I know exactly what you mean about panicking and pressing randomly Marydoll . Mine is always done with those sticky pads stuck on my head and body (it’s more to measure reaction). Anyway I hope you are feeling a little better today.

Nothing exciting to report from here today, just usual breakfast cafe (one less than yesterday as Evie has gone home) but the rest are just getting themselves sorted ready for full waitress service. Then school runs and off to “that place” for another day of mental torture.

Anyway it’s Wednesday so we are at the half way point . Thank goodness.

Have a good day everyone x

Good Morning everyone and all who follow.
Field tests do not sound like a picnic.
My blood test results yesterday were ok. I had been anxious about them so maybe I’ll calm down now.
I hope your DH enjoys his golf today Marydoll
Homework for me his morning and then watching Chelsea this afternoon and pottering.

Have a good day everyone ?

Good morning everyone from a grey and slightly drizzly South Manchester. Never mind, we leave in an hour for the taxi to Manchester airport as we are off to Malaga for a month. I love the complete chill out with no calls on our time, apart from any socialising we choose to do.

Wonderful.

Hope Wednesday is good to us all whether we have plans, or none. x

Is that possibly Bridgemere? .

Resurgam123 Wed 22-May-19 06:43:17

Marydoll , I have the same angst with me on the field tests.
I have now just been referred for a cataract replacement.

Morning Mick. What a faff at the eye clinic, but at least it was all sorted in the end. Very grey morning in Cheshire after a glorious day yesterday.

Got very cross at the garden centre yesterday because it's all been redesigned and you have to walk through several departments of food, household stuff and clothing to get to the plants - then back to the entrance for a blinkin' trolley. 'Blow this for a game of soldiers!' I thought, and came home. Must go back and get the planters sorted today.

Good Morning Mick
Good morning all.

Mick I also have regular field tests. I always think that I have missed a lot of the dots but so far it seems I have not.

It's in the women in my family.
Have a good day.

Morning Kitty!

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a sunny Glasgow.

Mick, I have frequent eye checks due to my medication and the one I hate most is the field test. I start to panic if I haven't seen a light for a minute or so and start pressing at random, which defeats the purpose of the test.
My DIL, who usually does the tests, stays very calm with me, but I know I drive her mad! grin

DH is up early and out to play golf. I'm glad as he has spent the last month visiting hospitals with either me or his brother and has to cancel a nunber of games. He needs a break, as I can see the stress taking its toll on him.

I shall play my music loudly and chill!
Have a good day all.

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershre.

Yesterday sounds entertaining for you mick. I'm glad it turned out ok. Did you get the results yesterday?

We had a good catch up with dh's friends - once we got past everyone's health issues.grin The food was not as good as usual so we might have to find a different venue for next time.

As it is Dementia Awareness Week, I am helping on another Alzheimers Society stall - this time in John Lewis. A perfect shopping opportunity!

Then the school run in Derby!

Enjoy your days everyone .

Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking cooler and a little bit grey over Brackley this morning.
Yesterdays Glaucoma clinic was a bit of a farce at first , I had to have a field test as well.
Anyway, the part where your eyes are photo'd it was not working , I was told I may have to come back at another date, but things improved as I was going it my field test , the machine had started to work, so had field test, and then waited for the part of having eyes photo'd without eye drops.
At least it saved another appointment as well.
Mick
