Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

I'm home and just about to take my favourite family member out - my dog.

The super moon still shining bright at 6am.

Today I've got a heavy day of procrastination planned. There's lots of stuff for work that I need to catch up on but can I be bothered?

 

[littlespark]

Trip over to York from Scarborough today so wife could visit and old school friend, and I could browse through a second hand Lego shop.

Got lunch at the local Tesco

Now normally, I drink Coke, not Pepsi…. Full fat, not zero sugar and nothing coloured strangely… but today I thought I might try this…… just because of the name.

Beautiful morning here after a very wet, windy and thundery day yesterday.
Spent early morning doing housekeeping then a beach walk followed by a carajillo...I'm gonna miss this when I return to sunny Scotland on Tuesday, but I have booked flights for another week out here in November when I will be fitting a CCTV camera outside on the terrace so I can enjoy the view over the Winter and beyond. I know I can just get the camera in an underseat bag and the other bits I need will fit in the capacious pockets of my travel jacket. I won't bore you with the details, but to take a full size cabin bag adds £186 to the cost of the flight....however, you do get speedy boarding thrown in!

you're going to beep a lot walking through the metal detector with all that in your pockets.


I once worked at the Army base North of Arbroath, and one day they were high on the security and checked every car going in and out.
Opened my boot, and there's a box with wires hanging out of it....

"test kit! honest!"

This week I'm near Sleaford doing some maintenance on a GSU TX and 2 aux TX. Been pretty good so far. Hopefully get them all finished today, maybe tomorrow morning then home to see my dog The daughter is in Manchester doing her exam to become qualified in testing asbestos samples today.

Well, a day late but thought I would post it. Yesterday I had to go out the the diabetic unit for my 6 monthly revue. They have decided to change the insulin I'm on so wanted blood samples taken so that they can compare things next visit. No problem, I'm okay with them. Off I trundled into a little side room with a nurse. Out came my right arm and in went the needle. Missed. Try again, Missed. 'Okay' she said, 'Let's try the left arm'. In went the needle, nothing. 'Okay, one more go'. In went the needle. I don't know what she hit but I almost screamed with the sudden pain. Never mind, blood was flowing and the samples taken. Next thing I knew I was looking up at 5 nurses all gathered around me on the floor. Apparently I had a little fit and they had to lay me on the floor. I was out for a very short while and when I came round I was fine. It was as if someone had just switched me off and back on again. Never had anything like that before.

My other half has between 15 and 20 blood tests a year, so is well familiar with what you describe. Sometimes the needle goes straight into the right place, and the phials fill up one after the other, with no problems, and other times she comes out covered in multiple bruises from failed attempts. She also definitely has her favourite nurse to take the samples, and a few she likes to avoid.

 

[littlespark]

I go to the blood donors… and never have any trouble. On the other hand, my wife has to give blood samples and its luck of the draw wether she gets the good nurse, or "stabby Mary"

She's fainted plenty of times.... a combination of being anemic at times, and "white coat syndrome" where the blood pressure drops just at the mere mention of a hospital.


I am staying up late tonight waiting for youngest to come in from a night out...
