Good Wednesday Morning, Birdies. I was rudely awoken by cramp in my right calf this morning. Anyone who suffers with this will know how painful it is.
I finally got my prescription from the GP so will commence my Prednisolone 40mg today. I started the Doxycycline last night.
I can't believe it's midweek already - where do these weeks go?
Have a lovely day, everyone ð

Morning LadyCG - have you got a nice cold floor to stand on close by ? That will fix the cramp very quickly but of course it wakes you up completely - not easy getting back to sleep ðģ
our lovely sunny days disappeared into a thunderstorm Tuesday evening and now it's windy but no rain.
This year is flying past, it'll soon be the crazy time of the year - help ðĐ
Morning Steph.
I find, ultimately, that weight-bearing is the only thing to get it to go completely. Other than that, extending the leg completely and turning your toes up towards you as far as they can go can give immediate relief. It's nearly always my right leg that is affected but after returning from Turkey in August I was so dehydrated from the Turkey Tummy that I had cramps for the very first time in both my arms as well as my legs. I'm not afraid to admit that I was crying with the pain.
Oh you'll soon be basking in heat, Steph. I love the traditional season of Christmas here (if only we could actually have a white Christmas) but sometimes I wonder if I would rather be on a beach somewhere soaking up the sun for the festive season.
What time is it over there?
It's 2.50 pm - our clocks went forward last Sunday ðĐ and I'm still getting acclimatised - I don't mind it too much though when there's a really hot spell the long evenings can be very trying ðĨĩ
The 'turned up toes' worked quite well but nothing beat the bathroom floor for me - luckily I seem to the grown out of that one, now other things wake me up at night ðĪŠ
That sounds horribly painful when it's all over you and nothing you can do to alleviate it.
Im not a hot weather basker at all - never really have been - with fair skin I burn easily even as a child, so I head for the fans and aircon once we get into the mid thirties and hibernate ðĪ
Our time zones are all over the place now as some states change and others don't - go figure ðģ
I'm in the middle - South Oz and probably the most consistent state weather wise - we don't get the cyclones or floods, it can get hot 43 is about the worst for our summers but so long as it's not a long spell I can survive - if I walk out the door and can't breathe, I turn around and shut the door...oh it's lots of fun !!
I hope to make it to Oz one day. I would also love to go to NZ, Tasmania and the Whitsundays. Perhaps when I retire I'll go around the world, if stress doesn't get me first ;)
43° is still pretty hot. We hit 40° here in 2022 and I nearly melted. A friend made the silly mistake of going to Dubai in August and she said she'd never known heat like it. Even the sea water was hot.
I'd like to hibernate too, but for the long, dark, miserable winter. I don't mind crisp, cold sunny days though. It can be a pleasure to go walking in the countryside then.
I hope you can make it down under some time, it's quite a special place and I haven't seen half as much as I'd like to - Tasmania is still on my list and the outback is amazing - of course it has to be winter going there.
Too late for me to travel very far now, so I guess it's documentaries etc for me - an armchair traveller ð
Lovely to have a chat, have a good day xx
Morning LadyG/Chip. I'm not too bad - Had terrible thunderstorm 2 days ago - the day that it was on the news that the poor kid got hit by lightning whilst playing football. His heart actually stopped.(he seems to be recovering tho) Apparently it's something mad like 10 million to 1 to actually be hit by lightning??
Morning all, it's my Happy Wednesday, Lcg , you mentioned the C word, don't get me started , I love it from my November birthday onwards, I think that's because it was always special as I was growing up, starting on November 5th when there was always a huge bonfire for us kids, my Dad would bring me a large box of Standard fireworks ( brand name) but he lit them ,I was never allowed to,at the same time he brought in from work, the fireworks and either the Broons or Oor Wullie book, then I'd get something special like a watch for my birthday the following week
very happy memories âĪïļ
