    Morning . It's is a deplorable weather today... But I really have to go to the session today... I am also rather down today as well . The closer we get to the end of the year makes me think on the following one. I am truly worried about what it will be happening next year.. also times passes so so fast....

    Hope you are all ok.. or at least not too bad..

    that was Levi cuddled with Harvey. Denzel is on the left sitting on the settee. I also make the same mistake. Levi is lighter and much heavier, it must be the brains.

    i am warming up the place …. but weather is changing…. i guess it will be an early bed …. or stay the rest of the day under the blanket….. i am back from my session and it was quiet since most of the facilitators were sick or with other commitments.. but we did manage.

    tomorrow i will see how i feel.. to this other place i have to go. i am a member on this other place. i do not want to get a cold. but the weather is so bad i would not be surprised.

    i hope you are all ok… or at least not too anxious or in pain etc… it is hard. because i am always anxious and in pain but today i am not in so much pain.. i hope it last.

    The landscape is changing. While today was nice it is now zero outside.

    The house is always warm and it is a priority for me.

    Quiet Day at the mill, just been watching tv for the most part. I’ve applied to a local Advocacy group to work alongside me and help me get my voice heard so as I don’t have to battle my corner alone. I’ve still got the headache of trying to sort a LPA out, with no family or friends to act as someone who would act on my best interest wishes should I lose my mental faculties, neither do I have the ability to keep a legal representative on a retainer let alone pay to draw one one up with a Solicitor.
    I then spent three hours helping my neighbour below me with some technical issues with her internet account,45 minutes on the phone, then sorted out a long standing volume issue for her on her tv (that a professional said some virgin media channels are known to be quiet and suggested a box to her) thankfully she is getting rid of virgin media tv, then tuned all her Freeview Channels on the tv ready for the change in Jan, moved her WiFi to an open area for better signal and unplugged a landline that she can’t use and didn’t need.

    Morning All,

    Not a good nights sleep, ended up sleeping sat up on the sofa. Feeling exhausted to say the least, still have to sort out the planters and get them potted up before winter. Had them all 3 months and still not made an effort, as an ex Gardener I’m ashamed.

    Had snow overnight

    0 degrees here

    House freezing

    Most of the rads don't work properly

    I've had British gas on at me over debt

    Wanting to put up my monthly dd to 356

    Crazy

    As normal I explained my situation to them many times

    It's a waste of time as all they care about is money

    I've no insulation in the house

    I spoke to the green doctor in the summer re free insulation for loft and outside of the house, but never heard back

    In the meantime I freeze

    Morning everyone ☺️

    Sorry your house is so cold @Amberpearl. It may be worth having another chat with Scope's Energy Support team to see if they can help you stay warm over winter. https://www.scope.org.uk/disability-energy-support

    Hey

    got a migraine, first in a while although they've been chronic since age 8 they have behaved more last 2 years.

    waiting for More bloods at GP before they can give me something else for the swelling in my hands,wrists ankles and foot. Not sure why when they know from the previous ones it's rheumatoid arthritis The back of my hands have several rolls of excess skin caused by fluid it's horrible.

    hope everyone has a good day.

    Bees? This late in the year, that is perhaps uncommon but also really nice. We've had honeysuckle blooming until quite recently, but no bees at the moment.

    For me, this is more the time of year of the geese starting their migration. But I've already seen them going in the presumably wrong direction, making me wonder if they were flying to the airport hoping to catch a plane to a sunny destination…

    I’ve just pulled a whiskey barrel planter from the cupboard and it started to fall apart 🤬 due to me being a plonker and bringing them inside a hot and cold flat it’s dried it out. Have it some gentle taps with a hammer and then leathered it with some quick drying varnish, hopefully it will persuade the wood to swell and close the gaps to the rings. Only issue I have now is I feel like I’m having hot flushes due to just doing that! Must be my age, fine vintage of 1983. Going to be fun using cardboard as a sled to get them down the stairs with me on the stairlift 😆 just hope for a clear day Sunday and I can get them filled up for the Winter.

    Oh no. I hope you can fix it. Wood misbehave in different ways with the weather and humidity. The floor of my kitchen has gaps because the wood shrank.

    I am now back home. But my mood is not great. Weather is not good. So I will stay at home.
