Mrs S is making headway with a solicitor re my fall.
I am possibly having an op this morning. I may get trumped by a elderly fall on ice or a child.
Fingers crossed!

Pah. I've been trumped.

If it wasn’t for bad luck, you wouldn’t have any!
Fitting a plug, on the end of an existing network cable. It took me most of the afternoon, to fit it correctly, I just couldn't fathom out, which colour code I had originally used. I have one of those cheap, two part sequence testers.
I looked at one of my cables already with a plug fitted, it looked like one code, fitted a plug, but the tester said 'no'. Tried two more colour codes. Rinse and repeat, until my fifth colour layout, which proved to match at last, all amidst running back and forth, from living room to far end of cable, which was up in the loft. .
New fibre router, only has 3x LAN sockets, versus the 4x of the old, which were all in use. Ground floor router also has 4x, but one of which is spare, so idea was to make use of a spare CAT 6, to back feed to the loft, to make up for the missing socket.

Our son popped in to see me on his way home from work today. My birthday tomorrow and he’s taking me to the F1 exhibition at Excel on Monday. Showed off my new birthday drone. Zipping up and along the gardens and over a couple of roads into the fields over the back. Showed him how stable it was indoors and promptly crashed it, damaging a couple of propellor blades in the process! I still had it on the 'sports' setting so it was a bit wild. Luckily it came with three sets of spares. If the weathers good, I’m going out for my first proper flying session tomorrow.
Well, I took the drone out for my first proper flying session this morning. Took three fully charged batteries with me. Used just one of them. No kidding, I am physically and mentally drained! I must have been tensing my grip or something because my arms are still aching and actually trembling and my head is aching. Oh, and I have a crick in my neck with looking up. Through all that, I forgot to take any film or photos so I called into my mums on the way home, sent it up and took a photo of her garden. I think I need a lie down now!
Urgh! I've had a bit of a nap but I still feel weak and trembly. We have my daughter and her husband coming down tonight as we are going out for a meal. I really could do with not going out. That bloody drone!
Yesterday, waiting in. Fruitlessly.
Actifry has to go off for repair.
Courier to pick it up.
Courier brings plastic crate, into which my (boxed-up) airfryer goes.
Courier refused to take my parcel, as it "did not have the label on it". (Address of the service centre, my return address, and the order no.
No QR code, no bar code, nuffink).
As I do not have a printer, I - very neatly - wrote the required addresses and order no. on a clean piece of A5 white paper, and stuck that to the box instead.
Best of it all is/was, the plastic crate already had the label on it.......................

I've been suffering with 'manflu', for the past few days. Avril brought it home with her, from the school where she works. Sore throat, blocked nose, coughing constantly. It seems to clear up during the day, then come back at night, when I try to lay down to sleep - struggling with coughing, the second I'm horizontal. I was woken again this morning, at 5am, by the need to cough.

Well, I'm in my designated ward in Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport now.
I was transferred from Warrington General on Saturday night, by invitation to Ward D7. Unfortunately, when we got there, the lifts were busted!
One of the three paramedics who travelled with me legged it up the stairs to talk to them. A few minutes later he was down again.
He said "They wanted us to take you back to Warrington, but I told them your room had gone, so they've made arrangements for you on Ward M6."
So I spent one night on M6 and now one night on D7.
They have ordered me a nice new adjustable bed and an inflatable mattress which is very comfortable...Warrington had my leg elevated on a triangular foam thing very high up, which caused great pain in my left hip and back. My new leg elevation device is less steep and virtually pain-free.
I constantly asked WG for pain relief and it eventually came, but not enough to reduce pain to a 2 or 3 maximum. TBF, though, other hospitals have been the same.
Anyone think this bed controller reminds them of Thomas The Tank Engine?

I've never been good at interpreting symbols, I cannot make head or tail of that control.
Secure is the third one down, the one with the snapped leg.
