It is beautiful today - a good day for wearing the children out

Sorry to hear about your lingering shoulder issues - I have have a bad hip, really bone on bone, but don’t really want to have a total hip replacement. Although so many seem to have success with these surgeries, I just don’t want the long rehab or a botched implant. So, I make do... and delay as well.

Our very own Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and husband of HM the Queen had his hip replacement surgery yesterday. He’s 94

He is setting a role model for you! If something needs fixing, get it fixed, whether it’s a hip or a shoulder![emoji6][emoji173]️

Deal! I’d go for the massage no problem, so you must too.

Pro-tip: Take ibuprofen about half an hour before the massage (never on an empty stomach, so have a couple of biscuits or some nuts or something at the same time) Then take some more ibuprofen 4 hours later. It really helps with the recovery.

I second the Pro-tip!!!!
I also make sure to drink PLENTY of water that day and any of the days I am sore. [emoji6]

The great British Weather. One day it’s snow and the next it can be in the 70’s. I think it’s why I keep getting coughs and colds, my body doesn’t know what season it is!!!

As Katie says, we just can’t tell what will happen next. It is very changeable within a few hours never mind a few days.

If you ever want a laugh, take a look at the TripAdviser UK forum. There’s an endless stream of people asking what the weather will be like for their vacation next <insert month of choice>

The honest answer is that we have absolutely no idea. Bring a raincoat, wear layers, it probably won’t snow May to September but there are no guarantees... and don’t be surprised if there’s a heatwave or a blizzard on the 3 days you’re here

Oh that does look peaceful. Lovely post card thank you.

The weather update from Maryland - winds have calmed down, no trees down that I can see, we didn’t lose power, and the SUN is fully out. But, it’s back to temps in mid-30’s again with rain and S N O W showers predicted for the weekend. :-(

Good Morning All,

We are missing our regular early morning posters. @JoesMum how are our tweety birds doing? @Bambam1989 Has hubby come home yet?

My morning has started off better than yesterday ended. Besides the little baby that we found dead, I could not find my credit card yesterday, so had to cancel it. Thank goodness it hasn't been used, but it is inconvienent to replace it. Sigh.

TODAY is Jarrod's 13th Birthday. It is hard to believe that he is a teen already. Makes me feel old as my kids are getting so much older. BUT having said that I could not be a prouder Mom, even If I say so, I have good boys.

Anyway - I hope all have an awesome day......and I will not chat later again.

I must have just missed your post last night[emoji20]

Does anyone else out there in #CDR land use a FitBit to track distance, steps walked, heart beat, sleep hours, etc? I just started using one Saturday.... and have just put in my first marathon of miles walked... nice badge received.

I have the Active10 app on my phone which shames me into doing brisk walks every day instead.

The ideal is 150 brisk minutes a week. It’s reckoned to be better for heart health than just counting steps.

Does one have to have a smart phone in order to have a fitbit? (I don't have a smart phone) I'm thinking of ordering this off Amazon, but don't understand if it works without a phone:

This review seems to suggest that you need to pair it with some sort of smartphone to get the results
