Met with Lindsey (apologies if I've misspelt her name) yesterday in the picnic area & she kindly invited me along. I swung by today around 3.30pm but I didn't recognise anyone there from the day before. not sure if anyone made it in the end?? Hope perhaps to catch you next week instead.

Hopefully see you ladies (and anyone else who's around - Molly? Polly? Pickle?) on Friday for a little farewell for S and I :-((

I'm thinking either after Babble and Squeak for an early lunch or after lunch and nap time at say 2ish?

Must get on with making cupcakes tomorrow!

Hiya,


Yes, would love to meet up. 12 midday would be good for me, may also manage 2, but can't promise as C generally sleeps 1.30pm til 3pm and then it's the school run. But whatever you do I will do my best to at least show my face briefly......keep me posted...


Also re the temperature and ibruprofen thing we were chatting about, I have found out why, and I think I can relay the info fairly accurately as follows; there are two schools of thought - the big concern with babies and young children and temperatures is the risk of febrile convulsions, and it is now thought that it isn't the temperature itself, but a rapid rise OR drop of temperature can is most likely to cause them. Therefore some consider it better not to give meds to bring temp down quickly unless baby is showing signs of being in extreme discomfort BUT another school of thought is that it is better to make them comfortable, get them drinking, moving etc. and more likely to do that if given ibruprofen. This tends to be a discrepancy between the UK/other parts of Europe and Australia, which is why your Spanish Doctor reacted as he did by the sounds of it. Interesting stuff eh!

bee74 - sorry, we usually meet up on a Tuesday afternoon from 2.30pm in the picnic area of Peckham Park .. but I have ransacked the thread to get the girls out this Friday as well.


Molly - aha I see, makes sense! Good one you for even remembering to follow this up - haha. Ok so going forward I may try Calpol initially and see what happens .. mind you if its a little fever and its related to teething then I may not feel so bad giving him Nurofen - less quantity (though probably more concentrated ;-), it deals with the inflamed area and the fever all in one go. Thanks for this though - I'm glad to have it clear now after being rather confused ;-)

Hopefully see you on Friday at some stage. x

Ok scrap Babble and Squeak (thanks Fran!) as it isn't on this week.

Meet in the picnic area of Peckham Rye park from 10.30am / 11am?

Bee74 - opposite the parking at the cafe is a gate - if you walk through there, over the little bridge by the toilets and keep going straight up through various little gates you'll get to the picnic area - I'll have down some bright red/black/blue sarong type blankets so you shouldn't miss us.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
