I’ve confirmed my hospital date, I’ve eaten cake from one of the neighbours and I’ve bought socks with grips on the bottom. They seem to be the preferred footwear in hospital these days. They did lend me a pair last week, but as usual they don’t do my size. It’s not as if I have fat feet, just a size or two bigger than average.
I’ve also written a book review, made up my diary, developed a system of paperwork and exercised my bad foot. The “system” consists of tucking current papers into the back of my diary and putting an elastic band around it all. Once the paperwork is no longer current I file it in a plastic folder as this makes it easier to lose in bulk. The “exercise” consisted of walking to the fridge and answering the front door to accept the cakes.
From this I presume you can see why Julia laughs in an ironic manner when I refer to the future date “when I retire”.
She has had a fuller day than I have, preparing for a job interview, holding a meeting at the community accounting group she chairs and doing associated paperwork.
However, because I have used more words to describe my day it looks like I’ve been busier than she has.
I suppose I should have taken a photograph of the cakes. They were miniatures for an event tomorrow, the open day at the hospital garden. Hopefully the weather will improve as they put a lot of effort into the gardening. I may give it a miss, as I’ve seen it enough recently, but Julia is going.
The picture is a Herring Gull walking on the top of my car in Llandudno. Fortunately the recent rain has washed away the other evidence.
The socks are standard issue over here in the hospitals as well. They do come in handy!
I am glad to see you getting about in a purposeful way. I hope that there isn’t another computer disaster just when you are due to go in.
Same here!
A handsome bird, despite its messy ways.
Yes, they are handsome, though on did once scratch my head whilst attempting to snatch a chip from my hand on Llandudno Pier. 🙂
Sounds busy enough to me, but then again – I am retired!!
🙂 I shouldn’t imagine you have much time with all the work that goes into your blog!
I’ve been trying to find a balance for years – some days it works – usually though…..? lol
🙂
I’d say that was a busy day – no shit
I’ll quote you next time Julia gives me one of those looks. 🙂
