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?

Quite right. The bin was the best place for them. Odd that it is a 12 year-old though.

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.

Or maybe not a 12 year old. Are the personal details verified?

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...
