Really pleased it's sorted whether a long-term solution or just short term

I watched it the other day and enjoyed it!

Personally I think this is a wind up! Everyone is frustrated at the moment by Lockdown2, the implications and the rules, the suggested rules, the possible rules, the maybe rules or the made up rules so this post is just appealing to the masses - its all been discussed to death so just ignore it!

Vaughan mentioned earlier in this thread the Four of Hearts being lost as a result of a coaster hitting them whilst moored. He may have more info! Is there anywhere a log of the coaster passages up the Yare and the names of them all?

She appeared to be smiling though? Did enjoy it by the way!

3RR is definitely scheduled for the 5th June/6th June next year - hopefully it will go ahead. My suggestion is that you just stay in the basin and wait for the fun to subside. Just take yourself off to the bridge and watch! The river will be almost back to normal by Sunday morning!

So true - we love the Broads for their beauty but that wasn't why they were created!

Any ship where the name ended in ITY was an Everard ship - there is one by the power station photo. We always knew this because my father used to get trips on them. Think it was a connection with his father who was the Editor of Ship Building and Shipping Record many moons ago that got him the jaunts!

Here's my contribution from the 1960s - all been posted before You could hear a coaster coming long before you saw it. Then the water would start to be sucked out the dyke where you were moored - eg Rockland or Brundall Dyke. I would try to run to the end of the dyke to see it pass! There are still a few signs saying don't moor on bends along the Yare (or were the last time I went south!) Liz

It's actually a serious problem on many waterways, I suspect slow moving ones more so!

CC beat me to it! The holiday bungalow at Horning was a joy to see during Horning Week. Alive with multi generation family members just having an amazing time! From the 1970s to the modern time.

Avoid paracetamol as a pain killer as it will also mask a temperature spike. Daughter isn't allowed to take them but her pain killers are a bit more exotic at the moment!! (Chemo related infection)

Or vice versa - someone going to a higher rate infection area for a holiday and bringing it back! Analysis shows different strains across the county so its important to avoid moving them around!

My daughter's temperature spiked last night so she was taken back into the actual hospital (rather than the 'Cotton Rooms' which is a sort of B&B connected to UCH. The discomfort connected to an infection had already started but they won't put her on anti-biotics until the temperature rises as it did. Unfortunately the haematology ward was full so she got taken back down to A & E and then onto another ward - not satisfactory but she is now connected to antibiotics so don't take any chances - the hospitals are busy so you need to be one step ahead!

Are you taking your temperature regularly? An infection will probably show a temperature spike?

My daughter who is only 33 has one because of her leukaemia. When the Macmillan nurse said she should get one I thought surely not. It really helps with access to carparking at the London Hospitals which are blue badge only - the alternative is walk half a mile!

Good stopping point for Breydon and good walks! Walked there from near Reedham with a group of walkers and Polkeys was opened especially and the sails were turning and water pumping! Fascinating!

Thanks its obvious in daylight on the computer - looked like a frozen channel on my phone not a frozen boardwalk

I actually do that!

Every Christmas, work give us a turkey. One of my colleagues lives away and returns every two weeks so I look after his turkey in the freezer. A few weeks later he said he would take it home and have it the next day. Aware it wouldn't defrost in time, we left it out overnight. In the morning, it was wedged up again the cooker hob with a large chunk of its backside, including plastic bag missing..................I rang my colleague and said 'we have a problem' - luckily he saw the funny side, and we sliced off the offending end and he took it home with him later that day. One of the family commented that they heard the cooker hob error message beeping in the night!

Where's the bottom left photo taken?

Similar FB post from Eastwood Whelpton Sailing Holidays posted on Sunday. A quick note for our storage and repair customers. You will have seen the latest announcement from the Govt that they intend (subject to Parliamentary approval!) to put us into lockdown from Thursday 5th November. Just to reassure you we intend to carry on working and will continue to respect the COVID rules we have put in place at the yard, but clearly we will not be able to accept visitors from Thursday. As with the first lockdown, we will be able to operate a collection or delivery service for your boat if it is coming to us for storage or repair for the winter. Please do not drop your boat in the yard this week in advance of the lockdown without prior agreement as we need enough room to be able to lift the boats already with us. Easiest communication would be through email as ***** is still away with family and so the office is not manned full time info@eastwood-whelpton.co.uk but call and leave a message if you prefer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I believe a lot boats lift outs have been brought forward to tomorrow - including my brother's thankfully. My white boat never went in................

Quite! Hence why opticians were seeing people with these conditions. Initially at lockdown it was emergencies including broken spectacles, the next level was being able to see people such as your Ma in law or diabetics or patients with other eye conditions and now anyone can request an eye examination. As of Thursday who knows! There was a figure quoted in the papers some weeks ago of how many people that had gone blind as a result of Covid because they didn't seek help!

My daughter working in an opticians in Wales has carried on as normal so you might not have to go to Barnard Castle! I've only just gone back to work in our local opticians but all the safety protocols are now in place (unlike in March) - I suspect at least emergency and monitoring eye conditions will continue and I wouldn't be surprised if your eye examination goes ahead? Barnard Castle wouldn't have the capacity to cope with the influx of people so that might be why opticians can continue operating! I will probably find out on Monday but haven't heard anything since the announcement from the bosses! Liz
