Morning Graham, I have been up since just after 5am doing the housework. I am just waiting for 8am to come round before going to take the dreaded teenagers to school. @lincslady I am sorry to hear that there is a 7 months waiting list for an ECGin your area. I had one last week that I only waited 8 days for, and saw the cardiologist immediately afterwards to get the result. Have you not been offered an appointment at a different hospital which is what seems to be happening here ? our neighbour went to Cannock yesterday because there was a shorter queue there than here in Stoke for his condition.

I didn't wake until 5.30 and my fitbit says that I managed 6 hours 9 minutes sleep which is unusual for me but I was very tired after bowling last night so I shouldn't be surprised. I am amazed to hear on the news this morning that primary school aged children have smart phones, 24% of 4 to 5 year olds have one. Have a good day everyone.

Just home from our first ladies bowling match of the season. We were all soaked but 6 of us won our individual games and the lady who lost her game only lost by 2 chalks so a brilliant win for the team.

The paper planes in the Atrium is something to be avoided along with the egg drop and Giant Jenga. My biggest whinge about Princess is the number of people who sit in the Atrium all day and leave their belongings on chairs and tables for hours so preventing those who want to buy a drink while watching the entertainment finding anywhere to sit.

Only 2° and frost on the lawn here but sunny and a clear blue sky. We are planning to go to the wine warehouse to top up our stock so DH has decided that rather than fruit and yoghurt for breakfast he would prefer a Wetherspoons breakfast on the way, there is just no hope for some people. Have a good day

I am sorry that your mum is still having problems, hopefully the bisoporol will stabilise her heart rate before October.

Thank you, I already avoid tomatoes because since I had a stomach problem 12 years ago tomatoes seem to upset my stomach, I don't eat a lot of potatoes except the occasional baked one because I prefer green and root vegetables I will try the rinsing and soaking though, anything to reduce the potassium. I do like a few chips if we are eating out but they are a rarity in our house. My task for tomorrow is to investigate what foods to eat to reduce potassium.

Back from the hospital and everything is fine other than slightly raised potassium levels so no more bananas coming into this house. Everything was running late due to an "incident" earlier this morning. I don't know what the incident was but as we walked from the carpark down to the hospital we noticed 2 police cars outside A&E.

A bright sunny morning here which I am grateful for since I have a cardiology appointment this morning and didn't want to get soaked walking from the off site carpark. 0ur neighbour was up there yesterday and his wife had to drop him off outside the outpatients department then go off to park because even though he has a disability badge they couldn't find an on site parking space. Have a good day everyone.

15 years after retiring I still have no idea what day or date it is. My friend says "Everyday is a good day if I don't have to work".

Horrible weather here today, high winds, rain, bits of blue sky keep trying to break through but quickly replaced by horrible grey clouds. It made for an interesting school run with bits of trees everywhere and a lot more children being taken to school in the car.

Duplicate post, I don't know how I managed to post twice

A beautiful day here too, nice blue skies currently 8°c but predicted to get up to 10°c I was up just after 5 am ( thank you to the dogs who live next door and obviously asked to go out early this morning ). We are planning to go to Bridgemere today to get some plants to start the baskets and pots off around the patio and borders. Have a lovely day everyone whatever you are doing.

I make sure that it is completely cold and put it in a large plastic airtight food container. Homemade bread doesn't keep as long as massed produced bread.
