Good to hear that dear Chatelaine
My poor twin
I am hugging rowan trees and the contorted hazel for you
I am also lighting my sunset sands candle for all flattened cellarites and reporting distressing sobriety to our sparrer
I told a fib last night as there is just enough bacon left for bacon butties
Birthday Candle lit for our favourite 95 year old.
Flowers & Fizz too
Carinthia. xx
A nice coffee and walnut Birthday cake in the oven
Rich smack in the mouth and bites back coffee tasting cake
Coffee & Walnut is a favourite of mine, but the coffee flavour always seems to dissipate during the baking.
Carinthia. xx
I use a strong strong needs help out of the pot espresso coffee and the same in the icing so it does taste strongly of coffee
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OMCB!
Soo xx
More to the point, Gus!

been to quack with my knee and he suspects that it might be infected
so i go to the hospital tomorrow for an x-ray and meanwhile i am on unclebionics
Twellsy - I am so sorry to read this. Fuzzy hugs and all kind wishes from yer bee.
Have a ālast rose of summerā from me. Carinthia knows this one - it only started blooming about two weeks ago.
Soo xx
Eww. Bury my heart at Putrid Knee?
Be a sensible Twellsy and let it NOT be infected, please. Thereās enough trouble in the Cellar already.
You lot are all lovely, with all the birthday wishes and treats. We are back, and completely knackered, but I believe the best that could be made of a hospital birthday has been made. I think OMCB was asleep before we were out of the door of the ward, mind.
Seconded, with knobs on.
AttaTFM&D!
Gin. Gin is what you need now.
Oddly enough, I am half way down a large one. And wondering how on earth Iām going to find the energy to eat.
Gus dear one I am wolfing down humungous amounts of horse sized pills incase i am infected
swollen hot knee is a bit of an alarming thing though
I can well believe it. Pray stop having it at once.
And please stay well hydrated.
umm
is beer a good thing for fluid levels?
and lots of tea through the day?
Heh! One lot of specialist doctors here told me last month that I must drink more water for my kidney function and urea levels, while another have just sent me a booklet which instructs me to drink less water to avoid an increase in water-retention (which I donāt suffer from anyway but they are assuming for some reason that I do).
Not sure quite what I am supposed to do, since the second lot seem to think they are treating me for something urgent which was established in a recent hospital visit with tests ā I last saw that department at the hospital pre-covid, and this sudden emergency was so terrible that I had an appointment with them which they cancelled last October, followed by a telephone consultation this January which they also cancelled, and then a telephone consultation on May 11th for which they didnāt bother to ring me up, but instead wrote to my GP the following week complaining that they had not been able to get through to me for it (a flat lie; I had the phone on me all day, there was nothing wrong with it, and someone else rang me on it that evening so I know it was working). I must remember to ask them when I see them in November when they took these Serious and Threatening Tests; I canāt help feeling that if I were in any sort of actual, mortal danger I might well have died before they got round to seeing me.
Both those two are diuretics and might not be as good as simply water. But tea at least keeps the fluid levels up.
as i retain fluids i seem not to notice diuretic effects
so i will enjoy my tea and iced tea
