Can't beat lemsip and either whiskey or rum, I get the coop alternative which are just as good and much cheaper
Take two hankies with you just in case :D
 
Thanks for all your good wishes everybody. I've just had a message from Xylia that they're intending to keep her in for a while. Once I know where she's been put, I'll go back in with some stuff for her. She's in the Infirmary at Leicester which is a huge complex of buildings, so I'll need some sense of where she's located first. She's just got her clothes and her handbag at the moment, so I'm sure she'll be a lot more comfortable once I bring in her consumer electronics, paper and pens, little notebooks etc.

Just back from the hospital where I've been with Xylia all night. They keep looking at her, putting tubes in her arms, taking samples of blood and taking her temperature. But we're not quite sure what's wrong. Painful joints and muscles, swelling and inflammation, especially her face. She thinks it's cellulitis, but nobody seems to be sure. Maybe more news today, once they analyse the blood samples. So we've spent around 9 hours sitting on plastic chairs in A&E, occasionally being called into consulting rooms for yet another blood sample. She's still there, but I've come home to take care of pets.

Aw poop man, that is not funny.:(:(:(
Do hope they get to the bottom of it soon.
Sympathies and hugs.

Good on yer mate. So she/they still don't know what is wrong?
Tis the not knowing that stinks, as well as whatever it is.
Crossed fingers for you both.

Doggy is getting better, threw herself off the sofa a bit back, so feeling braver, she didn't land well, couldn't get to her in time to catch her. At least she appears not to have hurt herself. She can now climb the stairs, just with my hand "behind" her but has to be carried down.

Am prepping the D2 for her two months distant MOT. Ordered a nearside indicator lense to replace the one bust in the hedge in France. Now onto working harder to get to the bopttom of why the ACE light is on amber.
High pressure gloom and cold. No wind, no rain, at the mo.
W at Tai chi followed by viewing at the auction rooms.
Weekend starts tonight so fancier bott with dins, no wait, it'll be mexican so, no, beer tonite! Have a good day folks.:):):)

Seems from the messages I'm getting from her that opinion seems to be zeroing in on cellulitis. But the most recent doctor she saw wants to discuss it with his colleagues before coming to a conclusion.

In some ways I'm quite happy with a degree of informed agnosticism. If you give something a name too early, there can be an element of 'diagnostic overshadowing', so that everything is interpreted in terms of the diagnosis and other health problems can be overlooked. Anyway, I'm awaiting further instructions.

I've solved a several mysteries over the last 24 hours. For example, where are all the police these days? Well, they're languishing in A&E waiting rooms, handcuffed to young men in tracksuits. Even though it was only Thursday night rather than a Friday or a Saturday there were quite a number of these. One young man had an officer attached to each wrist, as if they were trophies.

Young white male British men in tracksuits, or boat travelling persons?
 
I am in "shopaholic mode"............ spending like there's no tomorrow. Eek!
New Machifit AXA quick-change toolpost (£120), 3 tool holders (all they had in stock) £30.
Set of seven 12mmm carbide insert tools £44.
2 New drive belts £15.
Lathe isn't even operational yet (motor rework), but there's loads more to go yet.
I want to remote all the controls off the VFD into a panel mounted set of switches somewhere on the lathe so it is easy and safe to use. None of the original controls (dewhurst switch, on/off, main breaker etc.) will be required.
 
Well.......
Replaced the ACE fuse, which I had pulled before we went off on holiday.
Pulled the relay to the ACE and tested it by swapping it with the horn one. Both work with the horn.
Cleaned up the famous yellow/orange plug, nothing to worry about visible.
Plugged in my Foxwell 520 pro!
Pile of faults read.
Erased them.
Came back to read them again, STILL said Main relay was at fault?
Set to read live data and record it, (I thought.)
All warning lights were off. went for a longish test drive, country lanes etc, taking it as fast as possible around bends. light stayed off.
Parked up to read the data, it didn't seem to have saved.
Tried another button push to get it to save, set off on another test drive, just around a few nearby roads throwing it around the bends.Light stayed off.
Brought machine in to plug it into pooter to read the live data recorded. there were 51 frames all of which showed the revs to be 750 or thereabouts.
Flipping useless!

Light at the moment stays off if I start it, but I don't trust it. I have a feeling that somehow the Foxwell switches it off, cos this is what happened last time!
Leaving it for a bit i.e. to at least tomoz.
Read the manual again to try and understand why the live data didn't record properly. No idea. The manual might as well be used to start a fire. I hate tech the way it makes you feel so stupid when you cannot make it do what it says it will do. As usual, if I used it every day it'd be OK.
Hey ho!
Enjoy your Friday evenings folks!:):)

One officer and a load of rings bolted to the wall!
Or a nice pillar and all of them cuffed to one another around it!

Well, I didn't ask where they were from - Lady Susan Hussey got into lot of trouble for that. But I'm guessing they were local talent as from what I could overhear they had broad Leicester accents. The slightly sad thing was that they didn't look like 'hard men'. No sign of the steroid physique or the face like a nightclub bouncer tasting a wasp. They were rather slightly built but with pot bellies. Is that the best we can do for villains nowadays? Maybe we really do need some fresh talent from overseas. Mind you, you don't need to put in the thousands of hours weight training and sparring if you're simply going to stick a knife in someone, which seems to be the preferred method of dispute resolution these days.
