Definitely off-piste - complete with snow. No wonder the PMR is protesting!

It is my birthday today - no chance of doing anything nice what between Covid and OH's health but when I looked at the weather I don;t think this has happened before:

8 inches of new snow on the 4th of August!!! Even if it is at altitude!

Amazing! Happy birthday!!

I am sorry you can't celebrate it properly this year. We are having a warm day in London today, another scorcher weekend ahead of us (37 degrees apparently); August is usually rubbish in London.

Well the world is definitely upside down. 🎂🎉🌻🎿

Happy upside down birthday 💐🎉

Happy Birthday! Perhaps the weather will keep your PMR symptoms on ice! Ice is good with gin, gin is good for the morale, morale is vital for the fight, fight is essential to keep going, going is not an option so sup it with a slice! (Or you could go for champagne..) 🎂🥁🎉🥳🎈🥂🍾🎁🎊💖xx

🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺

Lovely to hear from you. Again, was thinking that I'm not seeing people's posts as yours is the first in ages PMRpro. My settings are correct, so really not sure why I'm not back in the loop with everyone.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday today. Sun is shining brightly here in Kent and it's getting hotter over the next couple of days.

All we want now is for the blinking virus to 'Do One' so we can all get our lives back on track.

A quick update on my PMR/GCA. All going well . One more week on 13 mg then reducing again by 1 mg for the next 2 weeks. Hoping all continues without any probs. Once I'm down to 10 mg I will stay on each mg for a month.....so will be well into 2021 before I manage to get off the Prednisone completely, so keeping everything crossed.

If you all see my message I'm sending best wishes to you All X

I've been eager for an 'off-piste' !!! (Never heard the term before the forum)

Snow on August 4th??🤔🤔Surely off -piste!!! So much snow....all for you 🎂🎂🎂

I hope you have a good day...you can celebrate how much you help people...I wish I could take you to lunch~! I hope your OH has a good day too. Happy Birthday...💖

I figured it meant "off track" but had never heard it before either. Finally (just now) looked it up. As a fellow North American you may find this interesting:

separatedbyacommonlanguage....

Grammy80 profile image
Grammy80 in reply to HeronNS

I💗💗💗💗💗 love language, though I'm no scholar I'm always interested and curious.

Basically it is the same definition that Pro gave...I always feel I'm skirting the edges speech that is not too tasteful...but I love it....off-piste~! My mind is so easily amused. xo

HeronNS profile image
HeronNS in reply to Grammy80

Oh yes, same definition, but interesting to see it in context and compared with other terms meaning same or similar.

in reply to HeronNS

In the same vein, I enjoy cryptic crosswords and those composed in the US are hard to find. The British ones are so full of words/ expressions unfamiliar to me. Finally discovered one from Australia ( now downloaded) that I can usually work. Language, though technically the same one, can be sooo different. 🤗 Happy birthday PMRpro!

Grammy80 profile image

I remember when every so often we had that 'off-piste' day.....it should be special on August 4th, a free and unregulated day~! xo

No, switched to Gruener Veltliner for dinner :) Roast chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in Parma ham. Even himself commented it was good. Another meal we could both eat - it almost made the chicken acceptable ...

Since I’ve gotten PMR, I place extra importance on birthdays. We should truly celebrate every year we manage on this earth. It’s also important to celebrate all that you are, all that you give, as you make a difference to many on this earth (especially on this forum).

Cheers PMRPro!!
