Good morning everyone, a cloudy day here forecast but warm and dry, so no complaints.
Not sure of our agenda today, but we may visit Swanage for a ride on the steam railway after a walk along the beach and fish 'n chips for lunch, luvverlyā¦
Cold and wet here today, donāt mind the rain but hate the cold. Unfortunately the rain only lasted about 10 minutes which was useless but perhaps there will be more tonight.
Completing my change over from jeans to shorts today despite the cold. Itās all go.
Still early so dark, off to get a CT scan later, a far quieter machine than the oh so noisy MRI scanning machine I was inside last week.
Being a big wuss when it comes to needles I am not looking forward to having one inserted to deliver the contrast fluid.
Oooo, Swanage. I had a delicious slice of pizza once, from a takeaway stall. And of course, the ice creams!
Shopping for me today, and seeing as the tenant wasnāt in the old rental when my sis popped round yesterday, I will go myself, and put a note through the door if no answer, with my number. My brotherās card hasnāt turned up, and it is likely (or I suspect) he posted it to my old address. He canāt remember what he put. (Well, he is 75!)
Good morning all, not a bad start to the day, quite bright and dry. Hoping a delivery of vertical blind spare parts will arrive so I can go up to my daughterās house and fix her bedroom blind. Might have another look round for the missing panel that she knows she āput somewhere safeā, lol. Oh dear, havenāt we all done that!
Good luck with your scan @MrFraggle67 - or more to the point, good luck with the needle!
Slightly overcast today, and Iāve had too many late nights.
Fridays show at the Sudbury AFC went down a storm, most people turning up in fancy dress and we even had a crowd surfing āBeetlejuiceā during Time of My Life. Loaded out by 1am and then Saturday I stayed up late watching David Bowie Live on Youtube. Sunday was more fun and games, with a 5pm live band at my local pub and catch up with my friends.
Good morning everyon a grey day and it is trying to drizzle.
I slept in my bed instead of on the sofa last night for the first time in a week, it was lovely. We are off to the vets soon for a dressing change .
I want to start clean the kitchen cupboards and checking stock, I might start today when I get back. My broadband is running so slow .8 of a mbps it is almost impossible to do anything online.
I was expecting a handyman this morning to do me a garden job (fix a trellis to a wall & paint wall) but itās very dull & rain is tipped so I expect it will be cancelled.
I need to nip in the car to get a bag (or two) of golden gravel which he will need.
Other than that we have no plans though I can always find housework. Iām not really caught up on my own since helping Ady & Paula with their house move last week.
Paula is still ill with covid - pounding headache and feels like sheās been kicked. She had a seizure yesterday (sheās epileptic)
Ady is taking time off work to look after her. They are still keeping Josh off school until heās settled a bit more, but personally I would have taken him to school this morning & given it a try. They know best thoughā¦
The scan is the easy but it will be the meeting with the consultant next week that will be more interesting.
@Bathsheba Thanks, you would think I would be used to the needle at my age but I cannot even watch someone getting a jab on the TV and it seems that as soon as someone says the word vaccine we need a bit of footage of someone getting it just in case there are people who donāt know.
Well had the CT scan, lovely Polish radiographer, the worst thing for me is getting the needle and I cannot understand why they say just a slight scratch.
I beg to differ she was inserting a drainpipe sized needle into my vein, matters not that āI have good veinsā It is sore.
On the plus side the contrast solution makes me tingle in places that have not tingled for quite sometime.
