Things That Gladden The Heart

I really shouldn't.... I mean it's so wrong …… I should feel so bad about this ….

Piers Moron's announcement this morning about why he won't be on TV for a week.
 
This one for me from yesterday is rather out of left-field.

I was drifting around BBC Alba on BBC iPlayer and came across a programme about the Tiree Music Festival (2016) in Gaelic with subtitles. At one point I heard the presenters say a word in Gaelic that I have heard spoken (by my father's side - all native Gaelic speakers) for as long as I can remember hearing anything spoken. And I have never known what it meant. Until yesterday. When the subtitles made clear what had been said. And it's quite obvious I suppose.

It's the 'word' co dhiu (pronounced quo-you). And Gaels say it all the time when they have been speaking. Well of course they do - it means Anyway.

And if you listen to many (if not most) Scots speaking - they will often finish a sentence with Anyway - before moving on to something else. My (English) Mrs thought it quite curious and rather amusing when she first heard it - my mum especially was for ever finishing what she was saying with a brisk - Anyway! As in - I've said what I'm going to say on this and we move on. And so clearly also do the Gaels.

My club are taking advanced bookings as there's a chance that some lockdown restrictions might be lifted!
Bookings are for members only, 2 balls only and tee times are 10 minutes apart.
I'm just so excited ................................. probably be raining though. :ROFLMAO:
 
Well I'm delighted to report I only have a Kidney infection:(, I was a bit concerned that the pain in my r/h side kidney could possibly be virus related.
So this morning at 8.30 I called the doctors for an appointment.
Receptionist then asked a few personal questions, then said you can have a phone consultation with the practice nurse.
She'll call you later this morning, but if you don't answer she wont call back:eek:.
The nurse duly called me at 10.30 and I explained my symptoms.
She said better bring a urine sample to the surgery.
11.30 am sample delivered.
12.30 nurse phoned results, says I have a severe kidney/urinary infection and she'll fax a prescription to my local Pharmacy immediately.
Pharmacy closed between 1 & 2 pm :mad:
Picked up my Antibiotics 2.15 pm.

Normally it takes me about 21 days just to get a non urgent appointment, so this new phone Triage appointment system could work well in some circumstances.:love:I was going to say PMSL, but better not :eek::ROFLMAO: EDIT , I'm allowed to take alcohol along with these antibiotics :love::love:
