Good morning all, the wind has gone though it is still cool but it is supposed to get into the mid/high 20s later in the week.
I planted some Aloe Vera out by my letter box, there was some there before but some got flogged and the rest died, don’t mind, they grow like a weed. The soil is bone dry I had to soak it before I planted them. Was also looking at my Hipposomethings but they have been a bit battered by the winds so are not looking their best but they spawned others which might look better when they come out.
Catching a train this arvo to see my specialist in the 'Gong, this is a new one that is going to insert radio active markers (not today) so that is something to look forward to.
I will probably take the opportunity to make a walk of it as I rarely go to the CBD now that you have to pay for parking.
Hope you all have a wonderful day where ever in the world you are. Take care.
Good morning - I hope having the radio active markers fitted isn’t too much of a trial Bruce.
Nice flower photo. Some of the flowers in our hemisphere are showing signs of dying back and I notice a few acorns are starting to drop from the tree at the bottom of the garden.
I will have a go at the garden today if the rain holds off. I’ve been neglecting it for a while. Nature likes it but not so pleasing to human the eye.
The surgeon I spoke to today was quite scathing of the oncology mob, he basically said that they are hammers that see everything as a nail and that doing nothing is probably the best option for me. He said monitoring the situation is a choice and that an operation or radiation in six months, one year, 4 years or more is still viable.
Sounded good to me, I have another appointment in a month when I will decide what to do. If it were not for the PSA I wouldn’t know anything about it - I feel fine
Well yesterday didn’t get off to a very good start and got worse! As I said I needed to post a letter to Mum and the nearest sub-post office is a 20 minute drive away. Got there, managed to find a parking space (not easy) only to find the sub-post office had unexpectedly closed for the day! The next nearest post office is a 45 minute drive away, so the letter remains unposted. Can’t post it today as my car has gone in for a service and MOT. My neighbour is a car mechanic and has taken the car this morning, will carry out the service, take it to the MOT station and then bring it back tonight – so convenient for me.
Someone I met at one of the coffee mornings I attend texted me suggesting we get together for a coffee so I invited her round to mine. That was a mistake!! I was taken on a 3 ½ hour trip down Depression Lane! She didn’t stop talking for the whole time listing every disaster and problem that has befallen her. I kept trying to change the subject but I could barely get a word in edgeways! I know she probably needed to vent to someone and I do feel sorry for her but I’m not sure I was the right person. When she finally left I felt so drained that I didn’t have the energy to even cook my dinner!
As I have no transport my plans for today are some housework and ironing (how exciting)
Take care – hope everyone (including me!) has a good day!
A very good morning from Foxy’s World…
Overcast and dull with a few spots of light rain as I trundled around my three and a half mile course. Despite the miserable weather I felt good, and my knee held up and didn’t complain during or after the walk…No running just yet though…
The Government have been nice enough to pay my wages (pension) this morning, so hurrah! we will be able to eat next week…
In the absence of a Haynes Manual for my Citroen C3 Aircross, and nothing on youtube, I decided to find out what all the fuses and relays were for in the under bonnet fuse box. There doesn’t seem to be an in car one. Very strange.
Anyway I started pulling out fuses to see what they did, very enlightening! I’ve done about half so far, so will continue with the other half later.
Amusing to see a warning appearing on the screen saying that there is an engine fault and it even produced a route on the sat nav to the nearest dealer…
Don’t you just love these new cars with a computer and Al looking over your shoulder when ever you drive the thing…Or start tampering… It’s got to go!
Your hospital sounds like ours @Bruce you can’t get within two miles of the place in your car, so I either take the bus, or walk…
As it happens, I’ve been summoned for a fasting blood test and the hospital is the best place to go for it. Something to do with me sugar…
Sorry to hear about the consultation with your friend Sheila, I hope you took notes for the next visit…
