It's a really good idea!
A few places in my town do it, but they go within seconds!

Hope you enjoy it!

Pi.R^2 06-08-2023 01:35 PM

Hope your prayer group goes well tamo and hope you got some good food Beckie!

I have a colleague who for reasons I don't fully understand ends up with vegan too good to go stuff and brings it for me - I got a whole bunch of starbucks stuff one day and it was AMAZING.

long road 06-08-2023 01:38 PM

Yay free food is best food Jenna!

I overslept today as I didn't sleep until sometime after 4. Rather tired so still taking it easy

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 02:12 PM

There was some very good food in there!
Same stuff you'd get if you paid for breakfast at the hotel. But instead of an extortionate 21 euros, it was 4.99
Had lots of trouble getting lunch from a sandwich stand as he spoke absolutely no English and I speak absolutely no German....well, VERY little. As in, i can say please, thank you etc. And i can probably still count to 100 as german numbers follow quite a logical pattern

That certainly is amazing jenna!

Well done for continuing to take it easy jen. I struggle to function with bad sleep and i don't have all your health issues!

nonperson 06-08-2023 03:33 PM

Hullo all. Hope everyone's having nice days.

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 03:51 PM

Hey np!

How are you?

nonperson 06-08-2023 04:00 PM

Tired. Just dropped my phone on my face while using it/nodding off so it might be time for a nap

Pi.R^2 06-08-2023 04:11 PM

Oh no! I hope you have a good nap!

Who wants to post report Beckie for using German in her RV?

nonperson 06-08-2023 04:17 PM

Is German not allowed?

nonperson 06-08-2023 04:21 PM

WELL, I may have to go and post report it now because I went to have a look at the post and used Google translate to, well, translate it... AND NOW I HAVE LOST THE 32 TABS I HAD OPEN IN CHROME

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 04:22 PM

Definitely nap time if you're at dropping phone on face point np!

Hasn't the sheriff of ryl PR'd me yet??
But actually, i forgot that the foreign language thing was a rule. It is a rule right?

How on EARTH could you possibly have 32 TABS??
That would stress me out so much!!!

nonperson 06-08-2023 04:23 PM

WAIT! I retract my annoyance at Beckie's German post as all my tabs have reappeared.

nonperson 06-08-2023 04:23 PM

It's not hard to translate 3 words though is it

tamobhuuta 06-08-2023 04:41 PM

Ryl logged me out!

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 04:41 PM

Not particularly!
Just been reminded of a time in the old psych ward, about 8ish years ago, and we were all a bit hyper and made up a bavarian version of breaking bad, complete with lederhosen, called 'breaking nicht sehr gut'.

That's random tamo

Was it because of Beckie's RV?

omd that's hilarious! I hope not a single one of you ever learnt the one word translation of 'bad' :P

Also, the RYL sheriff has not yet reported your outrageous behaviour, we'll see if my yelling about it has summoned them... (also it's completely fine).

Pi.R^2 06-08-2023 05:07 PM

I am going to see how many words in a foreign language I wrote that time I got my post edited...

Pi.R^2 06-08-2023 05:08 PM

ONE GODDAMN WORD

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 05:36 PM

Nope we absolutely didn't jenna!
Far too busy vandalising the white board (one of the patients wrote all our names where the staff usually put their names. He put me as 'Dr Rebecca')
And also listening to pink floyd. They eventually drugged us all at about 3am XD

I can probably guess who edited your post that time...

Pi.R^2 06-08-2023 06:04 PM

This sounds like glorious fun although maybe less fun for the staff :P

It actually wasn't!! Tbf, it's an actual rule and if SOMEONE reports it (can you guess which of my friends reported it as a joke???) then it's fair to edit it.

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 06:29 PM

Yeah, they didn't find it as much fun XD

LOL! When joke post reporting goes wrong

Also, what were you investigating??

tamobhuuta 06-08-2023 06:59 PM

My ward is so well behaved! The worst anyone has done while I was there was tip over the dining furniture.

long road 06-08-2023 07:01 PM

*waves*

I fell.back asleep again. I feel I shall count this day as a loss and try again tomorrow. Although I must update my click and collect order before 11:46pm or I will just be getting fruit, vegetables milk and bread (the things I use to hold basket as we always eat them) and no main meal items, store cupboard restocks or toilet paper!

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 07:03 PM

That's incredibly tame for a psych ward!
Stuff like the above was just fun, other stuff that happens is not so fun!
At this point, nothing surprises or bothers me anymore XD

Oh you should definitely update it then jen!
Trying again tomorrow sounds like a plan

long road 06-08-2023 07:27 PM

Partner is just making us dinner. Bless him he waited until I was awake and he was sure I was going to stay that way

Going to update shopping after dinner as hopefully will have a little extra energy.

I also still have a stuffy nose and sinus headache that's been a thing all week. Still unsure if its hayfever or something else may contact GP next week.

Cacoethes 06-08-2023 07:50 PM

Aww that's lovely!
What are you having?

Might be worth talking to a GP if none of the usual remedies are not working
Or pharmacist if that's easier

long road 06-08-2023 09:54 PM

We had steak and homemade potato wedges with salad and sweetcorn. We rarely have steak because the good stuff is expensive so was a really nice treat. And high in iron!

Yeah my prescribed allergy meds plus over counter decongestants haven't shifted it. Decongestant nasal spray works but you can't use it for more than a week in a row. So probably need to seek medical advice. I will put in a patient triage request thing next week.

Shopping is done and a click and collect slot booked for next week when my parents are visititing

Pi.R^2 06-08-2023 10:10 PM

Report me for medical chat but have you had steroid nasal sprays before?

long road 06-08-2023 11:20 PM

Yep that's one of my prescribed meds.

I am wondering if I may have a sinus infection. Rather than just my usual hayfever.

Cacoethes 07-08-2023 07:54 AM

Morning everyone!
Home time today.
I'm going to miss the nespresso machine and black out curtains XD

GP sounds like a good idea in that case jen!

tamobhuuta 07-08-2023 10:00 AM

Safe journey Cacoethes.

I've had my hairwash. Later I will put meds in boxes.

Cacoethes 07-08-2023 11:06 AM

Thank you!
I'm in a Mall atm, before airport train. Had a hot chocolate at maccies. It was just a cup of hot milk with a sachet of cocoa powder with it XD
Hot chocolate must not really be a thing here. It wasn't even on the menu at starbucks yesterday!

Is that all you've got planned today?

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 11:35 AM

Morning!

Beckie, I forgot to tell you that I had an Austrian teacher who goes back to Austria to visit her gynaecologist because they're so much better there, so perhaps you should have visited one on your trip :P

Cacoethes 07-08-2023 11:42 AM

Morning jenna!
How are you?

That's quite a way to travel for a drs appointment!
They must be very good!
I think the language barrier could be an issue, as it has been for most of my holiday XD

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 11:52 AM

I'm OK thanks, just been doing some weeding and got mauled by a big spiky bush which has scratched me and messed up my ponytail. Also spotted a fence post that is really rotted away at the bottom - I assume I tell no one and then throw my hands up in disbelief when the whole thing falls down?

Aww, bless you. Even if you're sad to be back home later today, at least people will speak lots of English!

tamobhuuta 07-08-2023 12:03 PM

That's all my plans. And I've done my meds now. Took 35 mins. I did the dishwasher. Now I'm going to do some praying. Sorry you had rubbish hot chocolate.

Hi Pi. I hope you're not too owie.

not_so_insig 07-08-2023 12:10 PM

Hello all. I have been for another jab again. I got seen early which is a bonus.

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 12:15 PM

Where’s my sympathy Dawn!!!! I got mauled by a bush!!

one_step_closer 07-08-2023 12:22 PM

Just here to leave Jenna sympathy.

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 12:23 PM

Hooray! Thanks Lindsay! And tamo :)

How are you doing Lindsay? Any news on that rotten macbook of yours?

Hope your praying goes well tamo (is that the appropriate sentiment? or would it be enjoy praying?)

one_step_closer 07-08-2023 12:25 PM

Still heard nothing. Ordered a supposedly new and sealed macbook on ebay so i always have a backup in the future.

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 12:31 PM

oh that's ridiculous! I hope you hear soon or can complain the the Relevant Authorities if not. And yay for new laptop!

Have you got anything on today? Did you do your first day of volunteering already?

Ouch Jenna. Hope it's not too painful.

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 12:45 PM

Thanks Dawn :P How was your jab today?

not_so_insig 07-08-2023 12:59 PM

It wasn't too bad thanks Jenna. Hardly hurt. I have another 2 jabs this week though. :-D

tamobhuuta 07-08-2023 01:06 PM

You have lots of jabs insig.

Praying was fine Pi!

Hi osc :)

one_step_closer 07-08-2023 01:34 PM

Yeah i did one day of volunteering and decided not to go back!

Cacoethes 07-08-2023 01:37 PM

Oh no jenna! Many sympathies!

That is true!
Usually I'm good at learning the basics for a trip, but I've had a total mental block with German! I also keep mixing up languages. Mainly Spanish and Italian, as well as English obvs.
Only thing I've really grasped is 'danke sh?n'

It took 35 mins to do meds????

I'd complain to them lindsay. Getting stupid now!

Why aren't you going back?

I'm chilling at the Cairo gate. Because idk which gate mine is at yet.

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 01:37 PM

Glad it was OK Dawn! You do seem to be a bit of a pin cushion atm :P

Lindsay, well done for going though!! I’m not sure if one month ago Lindsay would have believed she’d be able to do that!

not_so_insig 07-08-2023 01:50 PM

Yes unfortunately by the time I have finished I would have had 6 in a fortnight. Then once every 3 months after that.
