Extra hugs for all the horrible wait and discomfort the poorly run receptionist staff caused you @JohnEGreen

Good afternoon everyone from a once sun shining day here in the dark and dangerous north. A very good, uneventful journey home yesterday with trains, trams, planes etc., all lining up nicely. First chore on return - coup de grass - it’s garden bin day today so, to appease the frantic local lawn trimmers of the bowling green gods - there, done. Well, as much as it does when I do it. Think old mechanical hair clippers in the hands of a blind person with arthritic hands. I suppose I could stick a little notice in the ground declaring a display of local rare meadow flowers and grasses and just leave it all be. But, that would spoil the joy of rooting about with small garden implements whilst displaying knee pads, fancy gloves, a floppy hat and a trug for Mrs Miggins. I still fancy tall grasses and then we could have a lion to help keep down the neighbours. Not much else done since returning from an hour into the future but did manage a quick sketch of yet another tree - there are lots of them about I am told. Hope your day is going well. Wonder if should have an afternoon koffy?

Gorgeous tree @dunelm

Afternoon coffee? Yes!
 
Just back. Legs all trussed up again for another week. Delivered a urine sample to Reception at the Health Centre and just received a phone call from them to say there is a prescription being e-mailed to our pharmacy for more antibiotics - they've found another (or the same) UTI. Not going to get it now but will ask Alistair to pick it up for me tomorrow when he delivers mail to the pharmacy. Could that have caused all this trouble? I wouldn't know. I really dislike taking antibiotics. but if I have to, I have to...

Shame they couldn't get their act together John. More left hand/right hand disco-ordination (I don't think that is a word, but it should be, meaning something more than unco-ordination with a hint of ineptitude). Hope you are feeling allright now though. At least it's over and done and you can have food and the all important coffee.:)

Turns out that dis (or dys) coordinated is a word but it doesn't mean what I think it should. There should be a word for my definition though.

Good that you had a lovely time away @dunelm and that you had a good and uneventful journey home.

around here we use choice four letter words!
 
6.4 this Thursday.
Today was heavenly.
Twenty degrees, blue skys, with a little breeze.
Beautiful.
#7 & #8 came around, played on footie pitches, let's hurting now.
Voted, safe seat for our mayor.
Shopped, Mrs L wanted some fresh stuff. I got some salad.
Also bought a small rose bush as the bluebells and daffs beginning to fade now. And there is a space developing.

Watched the first in a new series called 'The Bletchley Circle' it was on Drama channel. I enjoyed it.

It was just nice to sit and play in the sunshine.

More please.

Nice trees and figures as per.
Hugs for those who battle with hospitals for treatment.
And of course those who have really noisy neighbours. When the sun comes out, and then don't sit in the garden. Like mine!!

My best wishes to all you lot.
 
Got some brilliant neighbours lady next door comes round most days in the evening and sits with us as her husband has to work in the evening and since her stroke she doesn’t want to be on her own when she had a big party for her 50th birthday a few years ago we were invited.
And there is an elderly lady across the way from us who always keeps an eye out for my bedroom light coming on as she says when I turn the light on she knows all is well if she doesn’t see me around she gets worried and asks Melody if I’m alright very nice person.

Hopefully they have found the cause and you will feel a lot better after the antibiotics @Annb
