tim Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 We lost our dog for two nights back in February, she ran away from the dog minder we used to send her to to get her more socialised with people, kept getting reports of sightings but she’s so nervous she kept running away We got her back after we had a call from someone who witnessed her being hit by a car I went out fearing the worst, luckily after wandering around she came running to me seemingly unhurt! Trip to the vet for X-rays blood tests etc we got her back minus 4 teeth but otherwise unhurt, vets bill £850, but I’d have paid 10 fold plus that to have her back in May my car was broken into on my drive, the thieves helping themselves to the steering wheel media centre and half the dashboard So a 5 year old Merc I’d had nearly from new was written off Whilst on the boards the dog hurst her leg so a trip to emergency vet and another £220 On Saturday morning a girl from my office was tested positive for Covid by Saturday afternoon I was feeling rough by Sunday I had it all! So trip to testing station, get the test, results in this morning and I’m positive but feeling better than yesterday, hopefully the jabs worked just got to deal with the boredom I’m not one to sit around and do nothing I thought 2020, was bad, this year is a nightmare Hopefully my tale can make you feel better about your year, apologies if yours has been worse As the saying goes without bad luck I’d have no luck at all! 😉 When we are allowed to fly abroad again I’ll post my flights on here so you can cancel should be on the same plane! 🤣 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Well, they say trouble comes in threes. You are clearly over the normal limit! Seriously though, hope the rest of 2021 is better for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably fair on the rest of the boating community that you and me shouldn’t be on the same piece of water at the same time! 😉 Thanks for your kind wishes, but your issues recently totally trump me! I wish you too better luck in the future 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 My wipers fell off if that makes you feel better! Ok so fixed later that day in time for a good trip to wells next day.... But found all the pubs and chippies were shut for that stupid game thingy Calm run back to yarmouth next day as weather closing in followed by a week on the broads with friends topped off with a lovely run to southwold for 3 nights. ok so you've had it worse..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just to add to the run of bad luck.... Got into southwold Sunday and tried to get beer in harbour inn, not taking more walkins.... Wandered up to red lion and swmbo overheard all the other pubs were shutting at 6.00 to rearrange tables, booked a table there and then for evening and had lovely meal and got well watered while watching hungry people get turned away. Just going soooo wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hope I'm not on a run of bad luck...I got a bit carried away with a new mandolin this evening. Oh flip! Took ages to stem the flow! On the upside, Graham did the barbecuing that I was planning to do. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Try a mesh glove. They’re available on Amazon, which reminds me - I need to get one to wear when I used a mandoline, especially as I’m on blood thinning medication to combat atrial fibrillation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just been in touch with someone to ask if they can stand in for me and play the organ in church Sunday morning. I don’t think my fingers will be up to it somehow.

YnysMon Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Sensible move Pauline. It was far too hot anyway. You’d have probably be the first forum member to go down with heatstroke. I only went down to the allotment (at the top of our street) to get some lettuce and almost passed out with the heat. Loved the photo of Phill on the ‘old members’ thread.

Regulo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I secateured the tip of my index finger cutting back ivy last week. Cleaned and plastered it, then decided to use weedkiller spray. Ended up with a blood and weedkiller soaked plaster. Gave up before I really did some damage! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
