This is actually the first day in ages it has been anything near warm up here 😎. Maybe the change in government isn’t the only change for the better! 😄 Well it's raining here.

If we do reach the final I think we would have a better chance of winning against France, but I think Spain's name is already on the trophy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckett Posted July 7 #60135 Share Posted July 7 @Adawn47 Hi Avril. Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit low at the moment. I hope it soon passes and you are soon back to your normal happy and funny self. I know a cruise is out of the question just now but how about a few days by the sea? - in a lovely hotel somewhere, in a room with a balcony overlooking the prom. Sometimes just a change of scenery can be therapeutic. I wish you well. Love and best wishes. Jane xx 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 7 #60136 Share Posted July 7 A good race, and in fact I am pleased that Lewis won, and that we got two out of three places on the podium. However, very sorry for Russell, and wish the other non-Brit had been anyone else. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted July 7 #60137 Share Posted July 7 6 hours ago, Adawn47 said: It doesn't have anything to do with the meds Graham, it's me. I'm so low at the moment and not sleeping very well.😕 Once, or if, summer arrives and I can spend more time in the garden I'll be fine. I'm loathe to increase my BP meds just for a quick fix. This happens sometimes and always corrects itself eventually, I just have to be careful.🙂 Avril Avril, I have been having some good BP results by taking hibiscus tea on a regular basis. It might be worth a try. This weather really is depressing, constant rain but it has to end sometime soon (or my feet will start to develop webs). I’ve been doing jigsaws which I usually reserve for Autumn and Winter as the garden is too wet to do much in. We are just back from a brilliant weekend away. We went to see Dougie McLean in Perth for his 50th anniversary concert. The music was so uplifting that its manage to cheer me up no end (in spite of the rain!). Book yourself something nice be that a meal, a massage or a concert. This too shall pass. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted July 7 #60140 Share Posted July 7 Afternoon all. I’m sick of this weather, lots of very heavy rain today but now it’s sunny! It would have been my Dad’s 87th birthday today so I’ve been thinking of him a lot today. We actually went to their flat today and had a bit more of a clear out. Our local Beefeater is closing soon, was a bit of a shock as it’s been there years, long before they stuck a Premier Inn next to it. Hope your low mood improves soon Avril, I can’t believe we’re in July. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted July 7 #60144 Share Posted July 7 We have been away in South Wales over the weekend at a family celebration, we took the scenic route home via the Brecon Beacons, Leominster, Ludlow. It was quicker and shorter than the motorway route and appears to have been economical as average mpg now up to 61mpg. We knew when we had crossed the border into Herefordshire and Shropshire as we had to dodge the potholes. We also passed this place on the way back, they were closed so couldn’t drop in for a crate of cider😉 https://www.visitherefordshire.co.uk/discover/orgasmic-cider-company 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted July 8 #60149 Share Posted July 8 Morning everyone,we have nice sunny 13.c and a dry day ahead ,possibly reaching 20-21 .c today. @Adawn47 I hope you are not feeling as down today cos sat in the garden with your Frank should lift your spirits , take a day off and let the grass grow beneath your feet. That will surely help with your blood pressure . Franks diet that you follow will be helping too. When my BP was raised once my doctor told me worrying could raise it, also it could be family inherited . I said I think it's the last one . Do you think it was your mum or dads side ? He asked . No it's the wife's side I said . That cannot happen said the Doc . To which I replied " You haven't met my wife's relations have you " ?🙃😉🤣 Hope you and everyone else have a great day ,keep on smiling 🙂 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 8 #60150 Share Posted July 8 I recently attended an Urgent Care Centre in a hospital, just to get a prescription which I could not get from the GP (not that day anyway). Just like being in A and E, with bad memories. They took my bp to start, rather raised, and kept on taking it until it reached over 200/100, when they wanted me to go to A and E and maybe stay the night! (Understandably). I felt quite sure it was just awful stress and anxiety, and politely said so and went home. Within an hour it had gone back to a highish but reasonable level, and continued down. It is normally about 140/80, with the usual treatment. The motto is, Avril, do your best to relax and take your bp at least an hour after eating, sit quietly for at least 5 minutes and take it 2 or 3 times, You probably already do this, but keep at it for a day or two. You have had a lot of anxiety fairly recently, as have I, and although things now seem back to fairly normal, I do think you go on reacting for quite some time to life changing circumstances.
