Yes after a drizzly start we were able to join about 15 of our French walking group this afternoon for an amble.
Half way round our 'leader' who is very nice stepped aside to let some car pass. Sadly she went a little too far and ended up on her back in a drainage gutter with legs in the air and water swirling around her.
Myself and another lady reached forward and pulled her upright from the very undignified position. She was wet and a little shaken but no damage. I reached down into the water and retrieved her walking stick covered in mud. I washed off one end and she took it from me. The other lady decided it needed washing more thoroughly and squatted down to wash it clean. It was then she realised she could not stand up again as her knees would not straighten. So the leader and I had to grab hold and pull her upright.
My only regret was not whipping out my camera before rushing to their rescue. I did ask if they would do an action replay but they declined.

Good morning from a still, dry, overcast, dull, not a sign of sun Oderbruch.

The Good news is with the help of a tiny Tablet I slept 7 hours non stop.

Clear blue and sunny here.

Ray! All those women falling at your feet!

Glad you slept well, Jan. Was that a sleeping pill? I never understand why people worry about being addicted to sleeping pills. Especially us older folk. What is wrong with being addicted to a good night's sleep. It is very restorative and good for our health.

I took my own advice and took a magnesium with B6 tablet. I slept right through to 5.30, got up for a pee, went back to bed more in hope than expectation and went back to sleep! I have tried magnesium before and it hasn't worked but since I have been reading Kev's Liz's forum I am learning more about optimum levels of vitamins and minerals.

Bright su, clear blue sky, 11C but very windy here today.

Sleeping tablets can cause long term problems and mental concerns as well as potentially dangerous activities like driving while partially under the influence. They do not last a specific time in the body, each person varies as regards how quickly the liver breaks it down. But they are very, very useful as a short term help.

Last time I took a sleeping tablet must have been 50 years ago. Took it while making a phone call and woke up 13 hours later with the phone still in my hand and fully dressed.

I know you are speaking to people in general Dave, but you don´t need to worry about me, this pack of 20 the doctor gave me the day after Hans died 19 months ago now, there are still 2 left, I take them very rarely because I thought they were making me feel extra sad, so far today I still feel happy and lots of plans going ton in my head still.:laugh:

Feels a bit cooler now, it felt warmer when we woke. Sky is grey but clear across the valley.

 

[raynipper]

Whew, baking now in the conservatory. Must be 27c inside and only 8c outside but bright sun.

Grey day colour in the garden.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

I looked at sky as we went out this morning around 10ish, and I said to HI I don't think we are going to see any sign of the sun, to day it was gray as a grey thing, we got into town and it was blue sky and sunny as heck, tis only a mile or so away.

 

[JanHank]

Now there’s a surprise if you like, I didn’t expect to see that this morning.
It says it’s -1°c and will only get to +4° this afternoon. A few more days and bac in double figures.

 

[JanHank]

Last night the sky looked so nice.

 

[erneboy]

Bright blue and sunny here. Warm, short sleeves.

 

[raynipper]

Bright blue and sunny here but two jumpers and a coat on to venture outside. Only 7c.

Dry but overcast here today. I saw on last night's weather forecast that there is tornado brewing in the States.

 

[Penquin]

Very sunny, blue sky, cool but no wind, maximum due to be 11C but currently only 7.7C

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

It's a bit gray out there, but very still, bird chirrupping, hope it goes like yesterday.

 

[raynipper]

Just had a notice flash up on my phone "Expect rain about 1pm".
Lets see what happens.

Ray.
