Cellulitis of my right foot again.  Looks like a loaf of hovis.  Third bout since August 2022.

All the best to your stepdad, mate.  It's always a concern as your parents get older.  My mum was 84 last week - she had a fall at home last month and spent a week in hospital.  No real damage luckily.  She forgot to press her alarm pendant..ive subsequently got her a fall wrist alarm.  I'm usually only 10 mins away and I get alerted.  She's a tough old bird.

Having to rip out a bathroom that was fitted less than 2 years ago as it continually had leaks and I just gave up.
Originally employed  company who looked very impressive who quoted 2 weeks for a full rip out and refurb...it took 51 weeks.

Had to rip right out, strip back to brickwork and just start again...albeit using the same bath, basin, loo and brassware.  Massive pain, but I'm using all my own guys so at least I know the finish will be good.

Quote from: captainkurtz on February 16, 2024, 03:02:48 PMNick - you should maybe try house of tides or Solstice for dinner if you're up for the weekend for Saucers - just on the other side of the Tyne from the Sage (I refuse to call it the glasshouse)
I was thinking of making a weekend of it Hass - because Mrs S is dragging me out - and had suggested House of Tides. Missed out on front row at the Sage (even I call it that, despite never having been) but was trying for her first choice of the Albert Hall.
Front row of sage was unobtainable because, even though they showed on their site, they were only available via ticketmaster as platinum tickets for £100.  I got third row.  That'll do.

It's a fantastic venue...I was disappointed that the previously announced gigs there in 2020 and 2021 (for which I did have front row) were rescheduled to the city hall...although that gig was sensational, but still...
