Welp I used a spray on ants, and also ant poison bait, so think
that will help....as far as doc visit he thinks my arthritis was a
factor in my foot swelling as well as salt contained in the gator
aid I started drinking ....so that is all for now.....

According to the NHS website it is 65.

I am not over 70 but, my doctor gave me the new pneumonia jab over three years ago. I was under 65 but had several bouts of flu-like illnesses in a relatively short time. Several people I know (under 70's) also had the pneumonia jab around the same time and three months later Covid arrived and we then went into the first lockdown; the health authorities likely knew what was coming.

Perhaps when you are feeling better, you might want to look into it.

I hope you feel better soon. :)

Oh, I hate when that happens! Once they get in, they leave a sent trail for all of their buddies. Even if you kill the ones you you see, more will follow!

My DH followed their trail back into the yard, and killed the nest. We still got more!!! 😲. It turns out that we had several, very large, established colonies.

With that in mind, I wish you the best of luck in getting rid of the problem! 🐜
 
I'm glad I'm working this weekend.... our town is having it's big festival celebrating the sweet onions we grow around here. Not to sound like a grumpy old person, but over the years it's gone from a fairly low-key and really focused on the main reason (the onions) to just another excuse to make as much money as possible.

There's a street dance tonight (which is fun, in a crowded/loud kind of way) and the Blue Angels will be flying in tomorrow and doing shows all weekend. They have a couple foot races (fun run, serious run) on Saturday AM. Streets will be closed off at various points. So between jets, traffic, and hawkers of every kind of stuff imaginable, it's going to be a busy weekend.

Made my Walmart trip, filled up on gas and stopped at the grocery store. Now starting to watch the Bergerac series from the 80's (I think) with John Nettles. I've already had a good laugh over some of the fashions... oy vey

Confused... I ordered a new ceramic hotplate to replace the duff one on my cooker from one company. The order confirmation came from another company, and the part was dispatched from third one. Stranger still, I received a pack of 2 hotplates. At least, it was the correct part and was delivered very quickly. Also since I have two rings the same size on the hob, I have a spare should that one fail.

Well that's the cooker fixed. Tomorrow I have to go and pick up the new lawnmower and maybe even cut the grass.

I suggest you try ordering your new mower...maybe they'll deliver two!!! 😂

There should be no harm in asking, especially as you have had several bouts of pneumonia already. I cannot see the sense of a surgery delaying giving it to people (especially those at risk) and I would be surprised if a surgery could arbitrarily decide to go against NHS guidelines.

Holly, They give it here at 60, maybe try another doctor.

Lee we don't have options to try other doctors in the UK.. we're listed on the books of one doctors practice... we can only change if we move to another area.. . We have 5 surgery practices in my little market town.. I'm not allowed to change to any other surgery, unlike years ago when if a Doctor wasn't very good at one surgery we could choose to change to another.. we can't now..

Things didn't go as I expected today. Not bad, just not according to my plan.

First I finally took my car in for the thin brakepads that was listed on the inspection in January. But it turns out they are some sort of brakes that the thickness was fine for even tho it was too thin for old types of brakes. So they sent me away with no charge, but I'd hoped they'd wash the car when they did the brakes so I was disappointed to drive away in my pollen covered vehicle (but glad about no charge, and they said unless a maintenance light shows up that I don't need to come back until next January).

I planned since I was out and about that I'd go to Home Depot and the grocery store, but I'd selected the grocery store in google maps and although it always takes me past Home Depot on the way, today, I guess because it was starting out from the car place, the driving directions took me on unfamiliar roads and I arrived into the grocery parking lot from the opposite direction. So I had to give up the Home Depot trip (because of needing to hustle the cold groceries home).

It is hot today and so I'd planned to skip working in the garden, but since I was home so early I went and puttered around there. Found out (by surprise) that they put a bee hive behind the shed that I go around to take a shortcut to my garden plot. I was surrounded by buzzing bees but they left me alone (I tried to be very careful to make no alarming movements, and walked through them like I was a frozen).
 
Today has been like most other days for me. Since I woke up this morning my daughter has been picking on me. She said that I am always missing my Doctor appointments. I have never missed one. Then she said that I make my husband do too much for me, which isn't true. I am always asking him to sit down and relax.She went on and on hollering at me.Thankfully I had to hang up because my sister called me. I told my sister it is all her fault that my daughter picks on me.My sister asked me why was it her fault. I said to her "Well you should have taught me to be a drunk and a whore." My sister laughed and said we could start now. We both laughed because we are too old and didn't have enough money for liquer and to pay enough to get screwed.
