Had my Meds this morning went outside with my coffee as normal sat down and then ping then again ping wondered what the hell was pinging I thought can't be the NHS app I haven't got it what is it . For a further five minutes I still kept hearing this ping so decided to track it down , found out what it was the power must have gone off during the night as it normally does during change over because the bloody microwave was the root of the pinging so opened the door shut it no more ping . Why do kitchen appliances take on a life of their own ?🤣🤣🤣

Hell yeah I remember that film 😂😂 first time this as happened though last week my dad was having his dinner in the kitchen and the clock which I add is firmly fixed to the wall flew off the wall and across the kitchen certainly made us both jump out our skins 😂😂😂

Yes, remember clocks have hands, all the more to throttle you with.

Simple things can always be the best pick me up , and I must be truly simple 😂😂😂
Margot13• in reply to
Simple or not you are keeping me giggling and I need cheering up,🤗🤗 mind you, my hubby put a tv set in the bedroom sometime ago and over a couple of nights a blank screen kept on coming on and off a few times, so now it's turned off from the mains. It has been said that electrical appliances should be turned off from the mains to avoid faulty equipment from catching fire, but we don't, so I hope our electrics don't start talking to us all at once, can you imagine, it would be enough to send me to beachy head 🤖🤖😢

😂😂 half the time when TVs turn on and off its batteries running flat in remote , mine did it last year I'm waiting for it again 😂 mind you I'm also waiting for the toaster and freezer to talk to me the cooker taught me a song once when I sat on the open oven door by accident it taught me Johnny cash song burning ring of fire , simple things you never forget 😂😂😂

My stepfather just called me in all urgent wondering what the hell was up , he was pointing to the TV again I thought here we go again , but no something new the TV was on and constantly changing channels I looked and found that he was actually just lay half on the TV remote and he couldn't feel it . I've spent more time today running in and out his room and all I'm trying to do is relax🥴🥴🥴
You are all on a roll with your banter, really comical thread, given me a good giggle👍

One reason why I don't fancy electrical appliances that can be controlled by an app! You put your phone down somewhere you can't find, and bang goes your beautiful cup of coffee 😁🤣😂
• in reply toDigger0
Not necessarily if it's got a mind of its own you could still get one , but always remember talk to it nicely 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵
Yeah Microwaves are famous for this also electric kettles
Toothbrushes are ok though so there is your answer my friend

Ha Ha! I thought you were going to say you had been pinged for covid but I don’t know if you would get it where you are. I got your sunshine this morning but it unfortunately only lasts for a minute or two. Then the clouds come and the pouring rain. It’s absolutely drenched outside.
• in reply toMavary
So sorry it didn't last long , at the moment I'm trying to work out how to keep cool , can't go outside because air quality is bad due to the ash cloud.i did have the NHS app on my phone my friend back in the UK sent it me via message it obviously wouldn't work here 🤣🤣 how's your day going apart from the rain 👍
Mavary• in reply to
It was much better this afternoon. We actually had some sunshine. It’s pathetic though really. 18 degrees. They’ve been on about Turkeys fires this afternoon. It’s pretty bad over there. Not good for your breathing at all. My neighbours opposite me had a run of fires in they’re garden. I had to close all my windows and door one day as it was all blowing in here. I suppose the wind was blowing this way. I think you could share a little bit of your warm weather with us here. It’s a little bit nippy. They said it’s going down to 12 degrees tonight.
• in reply toMavary
We've been on fire since 2pm today a couple of villages on killed our power supplies till about an hour ago I've posted a picture of the fire from our news . Not good 😵😵😵
Mavary• in reply to
Oh no! Is it near you? That’s worrying isn’t it. I hope it doesn’t come to near you.
• in reply toMavary
I think it is under control , I've been watching it from my neighbor's roof the glow as died down but it's the second fire in the same place as there was one on Tuesday same place, but it was put out quickly this one's been burning since 2pm today . I'm staying up just in case 👍👍 don't worry I'm prepared for a slow escape can't do quick 😂😂
Mavary• in reply to
This global warming is definitely getting worse. I hope you don’t have to move out but it must be playing havoc with your lungs. But then you would have a problem in England with the damp. It’s very humid here now. I opened my door to let the cat in this morning and it smelled as if it was a damp Autumn morning.
• in reply toMavary
It's not helping trying to deal with my stepfather , constant nappy changing and then he's saying his discomfort is worse than not being able to breath ,😂 I wants for nothing everything gets done for him and he is just so ungrateful I'm not sure if that's the case or its the dementia even though it's not that bad . 😂 All I know is I'm tired and stressed , I would send you all the sunshine if I could I could have a break from it then ,🤣🤣🤣 keep safe
Mavary• in reply to
It’s probably the dementia plus if you imagine if you were as he is. You would feel pretty miserable too. He’s got to have his nappy changed at his age. It must be demeaning for him. He’s really got nothing to live for but his body won’t give up. He’s probably embarrassed and hates the fact that he is a burden to someone. Especially you as he probably knows how bad you are. That alone will make him cross. He My Dad had dementia and it’s a horrible thing to have. You could do without having to look after him. You’re not too good yourself. I suppose if he goes into a nursing home it would cost a fortune. It’s a hard one. Was he always like he is now do you think? Could he not pay for someone to come in and look after him? It would take so much off of you.
• in reply toMavary
Carers cost a bundle here and no matter what he's determined not to go back to the UK , I know he would get good care I can only do the basics wash change cook and clean as best I can but it's not doing me much good either . I don't blame him hell no it upsets me because I feel I'm not doing enough but my health won't let me
Mavary• in reply to
You are in a catch 22 situations. I understand how difficult it is for you.
• in reply toMavary
I plod on day by day I do all I can and it's not like my stepfather isn't getting care because he is I just feel he would have benefited more from being in the UK . It's like I tried to explain to him about my condition I can't guarantee that I'll be around , even the pulmonologist said I'll definitely be gone before my stepfather 😂😂 well she was being direct
Mavary• in reply to
Well that’s two reasons you should both be back in England. Both you and him. Ok! I know the weather isn’t up to much but the NHS do care for people. You just shouldn’t have to look after him. He should have proper carers. It’s just too much for you. I really don’t know what the answer is because if you go he will be on his own anyway and as you say he can’t do anything for himself. It’s a horrible situation to be involved in.
• in reply toMavary
Tell me about it , his son is coming out here in September so I'm going to see if he can come up with anything , oh yes he's got two sons and a daughter all in UK .
Mavary• in reply to
Well theres your answer. Tell them you are definitely not going to do it any more. Thay have to now deal with it. Give them a date and then stick to it. I know it’s easier said than done but he’s going to put you in a grave well before your time if you dont. Can you not contact them before they come and tell them the situation you are in and that you can’t do it any more.
• in reply toMavary
Oh they know about my health and that I'm struggling but you know that old saying out of sight out of mind 😅😜
Mavary• in reply to
Well when they come over they can see for themselves. Just make them do things while they are there.
• in reply toMavary
Oh I will do even if they don't like it at the end of the day it's their father. A friend just popped in to check on me he said hello to my stepfather and when he came out to me he said he thinks he's given up on himself . Nothing to do with me it's in himself . Could be right I suppose
• in reply toMavary
I think at the end of the day the only thing that does get me down is the loneliness , I could be in a room full of people and still be alone . 😪 But hey ho life goes on until it stops 👍🤣🤣
Mavary• in reply to
Join the club. The difference is I don’t mind being on my own but then my breathing isn’t too bad. You’ve got lots of friends on here that you can talk too. How’s the fire and smoke now? Have they got it under control now?

That isn't good news Dave. I hope that you and your stepfather will be safe. Do keep us all posted if you can.
We had a power surge during a lightning once. Our blender decided to run full speed by itself and I was in the basement went it went off by itself. Had to buy a new blender as it would only stop if i plugged it and go full speed when I plugged it in.🤣🤣🤣
