If
a) you follow me, AND we've chatted previously, feel free to leave a "quip", that's what adults do,
b) we've never chatted, and you don't follow me then before commenting on a post of mine, work out whether you have anything useful or intelligent to say, if not DON'T!!

Fell asleep ages ago then woke up. Can't sleep now.

I've been crocheting cotton dish cloths, they are lovely colours.

I make my own dish cloths but they last so long I don't need any this year, so if you'd like some I might add them on kofi. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

Can you use the defrost setting on the microwave? That would be my first choice x

That is a frost. It's still quite mild here. You are lucky still getting peas, I'm on the last of the tomatoes.

Such a shame but they will look very pretty in a jar for a while.

Knit the cute "Rikke hat" for yourself or gift 🎁 them this season. Everybody love a cozy hat...
The pattern is a free download through October 12th. Enjoy the knit and add the pattern to your faves, I'd appreciate it. 🧶

I've used sage, and i love it, but the green you've chosen will be lovely in a shady garden.

Oh that's a shame, but the beauty of them growing and the prettiness of the dry beans is still a pleasure. I'll definitely plant more next year x

I finally picked the borlotti beans, not many as I was just trying them this year 🌱

The patterns are lovely and I like how the inside of the pods is like mother of pearl.

It's been very murky recently which is why that sky made me smile, it's clouding over now so I'm off to do some cosy knitting x

I think it is. Sometimes I have to really distract myself because I look at the world now and remember the hope I had as a young person and it's so disheartening. I then turn the radio off and focus on what beauty and peace I can make in my little life right here 🤗❤️

She is so very lucky to have you.

How did we let our health care become so amateur? What is left for GPs to do if nurses can now do it all.

Both my mother and my daughter were/are nurses and frankly I'd not let either diagnose nor medicate me even after a Masters course!

That's an awful response! I'm glad it's not just me but fgs!

If you want to fight me on something I say, please at least, reply to the points I make. It's called intelligent debate.

If instead you just keep tooting your own horn, I'm going to block you!

I liked following you, but, no! If you won't respond to my points then I'm happy to lose you 😁

That's why I have an appointment, in 3 weeks time, to speak with my GP.

I would never expect medical advice from social media but I do expect to hear what kind of behaviour other people feel is acceptable, and as always, people have told me. What I experienced was wholly unacceptable.
