Thanks May.
Ha! You call that rain? In Manchester, that’s a light drizzle.
You tell him Rox … he needs taking in hand.
All that rain made me shiver and shudder. So bleak and dark.
It’s lovely here today. I’m rubbish at taking photos or I’d prove it.

So, took Mrs Dex to the hospital and dropped her off at the door and went to find a parking spot, which, after 30mins of driving around the car parks I did. Then, I carried her overnight luggage (
) up to her in the ward, which was second star on the right, don’t stop until morning distance away.
She told me that some miserable and po faced nurse gave her a hard time about arriving so early (the letter and phone call told her to arrive by 11:30 under the threat of having the procedures cancelled if she was late) since nobody would be interested in seeing her or get the ball rolling until at least 5:30pm.
So, having ensured her iPad was connected to the tortoise speed NHS WiFi, I left her to it.
Am resting today, and leaving things in a slovenly state until tomorrow, as is my right as a home alone husband.
Hope all your days have gone well.

Then there is nothing for it … we’ll all have to treat you gently and be kind.

I have put the things in the dishwasher the way I think they should go, and washing on the radiator and clothes horse so they will dry optimally. Mrs Dex would have a fit!
As for the numerous pairs of trainers and crocs in the hall!!! 
I have also removed the bathroom window cill and tidied up the mess without being interrupted and hearing intakes of breath when a bit of dirt falls on the floor. I shall fit the new one tomorrow.
Peace and quiet and autonomy. Bliss.
Mind you, I do miss her

Morning, Another at home day for me got a lot to catch-up with. Still waiting on my Landscapers, had a text this morning from himself saying he was still feeling ill but would be here asap, apologising over and over. I hope he gets over the virus quickly as I can’t even do any of the work.
Weather is ok-ish sun and showers.
Fingers crossed for your wife Dex. 
Enjoy your day everyone.

Afternoon …
Hope things aren’t too stressful for Mrs Dex … some of those tests can be a bit scary.
Not a bad day here today but I have my nurses uniform on whilst I chivvy Mr M around. He was poorly in the night and now needs some loving.

Mrs Dex came through just fine. She had to have sedation (they didn’t give her a choice), and so she has to spend another night in hospital.
Which means that I have been issued with instructions of what to get her from M&S on my way in to visit her, along with which plastic water bottles to use to decant some wine into. Not really sure that having a tipple after sedation is what the doctor ordered, but I do know that failure to succeed in my task will end up with me needing medical care and sedation myself.
On other matters, have got the new bathroom window cill in place and cemented in. Will put some more mortar in when I get back from mission impossible so it’ll be ready for some toupret filler tomorrow.
Hope your days have been as equally as relaxing as my cat’s.

Good morning grey skies here this morning. Rox hope your landscaper gets over the virus and makes a start on your garden. Dex glad to hear your wife came through just fine and enjoyed her tipple. Hairdressers later then get a bottle of wine for later.
Morning, Weather is dry but I don’t think the rains far away. Meeting the girls for lunch and gossip then got a pot of soup to make later when I get back. Apart from that I’ve nothing planned.
Enjoy your day everyone.
Thank you.
Meanwhile, in my way home from visiting Mrs Dex last night, I had a call from the next door neighbour (who my younger cat visits frequently). Seems that he cat in question has hurt his back paw and is making a lot of noise. So, I went round there and calmed him and the family down and carried him home. He’s eating fine, which is a good sign.
But, today, I decided he needs to go to the vet… if only for some pain killers.
So, I have put the car and house on the market, sold the family silver and sent Mrs Dex and Daughter Dex to beg outside Asda in the hope that it’ll bring in sufficient funds to pay for the medical assistance.
Keep safe everyone.

Oh you’ll have to give us an update on that one Saint Francis of Assisi.
Mrs Dex and Daughter Dex might get a better class of charitable giver outside Waitrose … riff raff like myself go to Asda.

Well the update is ….
Cat went missing and wasn’t around to be taken to the vet at 3:30. Nor was he available for the appointment which they shifted to 6pm
So, our assumption (based on walking around the block several times, calling his name) is that he’s probably gone to one of his several mansions to have a nap. No doubt he’ll return at some stage, the rascal that he is.
As for plying passers by for donations, I think you’ll find that those who frequent Waitrose (and I use our glorious leader as an example 
) may not have long enough arms to reach to their rather deep pockets.
Whereas Asda folk might hand over half a tin of cider, which is better that nowt.
Now you’re talking …wholesome fare.
Cider and ginger nuts and jaffa cakes.
Not together at the same time.
