Locks 'n bolts

[Robinia]

Can someone tell me the official name of this type of bolt please, I'm sure it must have one.

Where have all the old fashioned hardware stores gone?...the nice man in a brown overall & a pencil behind his ear would know what I meant by 'twisty, bolty thingy' (even if it hadn't been invented).

Can't sit down without pain, can't walk, ribs hurt and now have horrible cold and nasty cough. Hope all ailing biddies are recovering and see you soon. xxxx

[netibiza]

oh poor lottie, you sound so uncomfortable, there must be something you can do. Have you tried Volteran supositories (not something one uses in England too much) but brilliant for relieving sciatica et al.

Have just been Harry Pottered and it\'s fine, she does darker roots and then combs it through with the resuklt of having streaks, cheap and good.

Hope the rest of ou are surviving at least if not too hale and hearty!

[Jude123]

Get well soon Lottie I really feel for you having sore bones and bruises myself. Hope the cold clears up soon too.
I've managed to catch up with all your posts and links since I came back from Chester so I can tell you a bit about my day. I actually managed to walk round the wall even though it took quite a long time. We kept stopping to look at the landscape. We also had a look inside the Cathedral. Wonderful stained glass windows and I managed to find the painting on a cob-web which I remembeer from many years ago when I lived in Chester. We went on a bus trip with 2 other friends who did their own thing while we were there and me and my sister were sitting by the river in the sunshine, when a boat came by and I said, "I wonder if Anny and Dawn have gone on a boat trip" and my sister said "isn't that them there" and so it was them sitting on top deck. We did laugh at the coincidence. All in all we had a good day.
I slept like a log that night.
It's another beautiful day here today so I will be going for a walk when I've had my lunch.
Hope it's good where you are.

See yer later 'gater(s)

[LoftyLottie]

Hi Neti and Jude. Glad you are doing well Jude and enjoyed your trip.

Neti, I presume Voltoran suppositories give you a large dose of voltorol. I can't take voltoral and besides I am on a regular dose of quite high dose anti-inflammatories for arthritis, etc (which are not relieving this at all#1

But thanks for the adice.

However a large dose of something up my ar*e might get me going!!!

[shaneystar2]

I think you should go to the doctor missus ,like it or not !! Or do I have to trek to North Norfolk and nag you :))

Sounds as if you had a lovely day Jude and I hope your bumps and bruises are getting better .It's not very bright here today though .Dank and dull .
Same old at Shaneytowers and I need one of those rockets up my rear end too Lofty .
I had a look in our Boots for the buffer Woofy but no joy
I'll have to wait until I go into town .Our tiddly local Boots is still stuck in a hairnet and Smiths Cremolia timewarp .I'm convinced that if you were to dig about in there they've probably still got Bile Beans out the back somewhere..

Afternoon biddies. Got a headache today, I think it must have been that wake last night - sure you didn't grow up in Ireland, Vinny? All the while I was reading it I kept hearing Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners singing Finnegan's Wake :) I swear you could write a play if you set your mind to it, Vinny.

Listen Shaney I have to tell you the first Branagh Wallander film (Sidetracked) was on the telly on Sunday and it's hands-down the best Wallander out of the three "types" I have seen (there have been two different Wallander projects featuring two different actors). Kenneth Branagh blew me away, I've been thinking how surreal it will be for me who grew up in Ystad to see him walk those streets, having seen him in so many British films, but I had no problem at all "buying" the concept once I saw it. I loved how great a part the Scanian landscape had in the film, it was beautiful and overall so much more well made than the few Swedish ones I have seen, and all the old codgers and geezers were SO Ystad.

Oh Lottie... I hope it's not "my" cough, cos this one is relentless. Not sure I'll come out of it with two intact vocal folds - I have almost no voice, from coughing. Been to the doctor, she said it's a nasty kind that will hang on for two or three weeks. Knowing me, I'll just double that, then... I blame you, jno. (Well you did cough on us.)

[shaneystar2]

Brilliant Branagh
.I missed the last one shown here last year as we were in Germany but I really enjoyed the other two . I have seen a couple of the ones with Rolf Lassgard and I've also seen him in Kommissar Beck but these were Swedish dubbed into German .Obviously Branagh has been dubbed into Swedish ? Or was it subtitled ? How do you get on with that ? I remember years ago watching things like Bonanza dubbed into German . It wasn't quite the same :) I always find myself watching the actors mouths rather than concentrating on the bigger picture .
Having read all the Wallander books I think Kenneth Branagh did a great job and the scenic shots were superb .
It was just as I imagined it to be from the books .

Hope you get rid of your headache ,perhaps it's your sinuses .Honey and lemon and deep breaths of camomile ( proper flowers not teabags ) infused steamy water with a towel over your head .
My bill is in the post :)

[swedeheart]

Oh no, Shaney, our television has never dubbed anything ever (\'cept for children\'s programmes) - dubbing is barbaric...! (And in the case of Bonanza hilarious I suppose!) You\'ve evoked a nightmare for me here - I\'m now hearing Soames and Irene and Young Jo and Lord Bellamy and Sarah and Hudson and Celia Porter and Freda Ashton and all the others from my childhood speaking in various Swedish regional accents - and it\'s all off sync too =:O ...eeeeek! I can\'t imagine ever ending up here on AB if it hadn\'t been for all the films and drama, undubbed, that I\'ve seen (American too). But we do cheat a bit and use subtitles ha ha, we\'re not geniuses.

Er... your kronor will be in the post when you\'ve picked the camomile flowers, Shaney! ;-)

[jno]

oh dear, Lottie - I thought for a moment I'd passed my cough on to you, but I've just checked and I still have mine in full voice, so it's probably one of those ones that blows in across the North Sea from Siberia. And it's only October. Tut... I do hope most of us last the winter.

[Robinia]

good evening...oooh, I think I need some vol-de-rol too please, I ache from head to toe....all my own fault though, we've had some heaven sent weather the past couple of days, just perfect, & I've been snipping for England. I couldn't sleep last night for pain down my right side, arm, wrist... so what did I do today? Yep, more snipping. It's actually turned dull this afternoon but the weekend looks set to be a lovely sunny one.

Hope you feel better soon Lottie, and anyone else who's aching, bruised, battered, sad....is that everything covered? I'm the last person to nag anyone to see the doctor, I don't go either & put up with things until they go away or I get used to it. If I never went to another medical or dental I'd be a very happy biddy, after half a lifetime I've had enough...

There's been a horrible smell in my outhouse the past couple of days...just thought I'd share that with you ...:o)

[LoftyLottie]

Deaf rodent, Robbie?

[LoftyLottie]

Whoops, I meant 'dead'! Well if it was dead and rotting it would be deaf too!!!!
