Another in my series of low effort post titles. It does the job so I can’t complain, but on the other hand I have to wonder how many other two post Wednesdays there have been. Turns out I have already had a Wednesday Part 2 and a Wednesday (Part 2).
Tha car passed its MOT yesterday. One advisory on a tyre, but they always have to say that. Last time they gave me an advisory on a tyre it was still legal 12 months later. That’s what happens when the test station also sells tyres. It’s not a bad result, though I haven’t done many miles over the last few years. I do about a third of the miles I used to do before COVID. This is a result for the planet, if nothing else, though it has also helped ease the cost of living for us too. On the other hand, I’m not visiting many places and don’t have many new photographs to use in blog posts.
I have just had a phone call from the anti-coagulation service – my levels have dropped out of the acceptable range so they are, as usual, rushing round doing things. In this case it’s adding an extra half tablet tonight and another half tablet in the week. Then a re-test next Wednesday. Not happy with that. My prediction is that it will be fine next week even if I don’t take the extra two half tablets. It goes up and down and will take months to settle once they start tinkering. It’s always near the low end and, in my view, I have always needed an extra couple of half tablets. They asked if I’d been eating more salad recently as extra greenery is the usual suspect in these cases. Ha! Salad? I think regular readers can guess my answer to that.
I’ve also had two emails from magazines. Two more acceptances, which is good. Strangely, one of the other posts mentioned above, had a report of similar news. This brings me up to 14 acceptances for the year, which is two a month despite my struggles and patchy submission record.
So far, I think you can say it’s been mixed week.
Congratulations on the two additional acceptances, Simon! 14 for the year so far is good. Keep writing!
Will do. 🙂
I had never heard the expression “A curate’s egg” and had to look it up. Thanks to you and Derrick, I learned something new today.
We are just two old-fashioned men . . .
Well, I have learned a lot from you two.
🙂 It’s good for me to feel useful.
I had to look that one up too. 🙂
It’s not a widely used saying, even over here. 🙂
I am sorry to hear of the possible medical tinkering. It is very annoying if you don’t think that it is actually necessary. All the same, it is good to find that people are trying to take care of you.
Well done on the successful submission rate.
Yes, it is good to have people who are interested in my health. As they are clever, and medically qualified, they may have a point . . . 🙂
A curate’s egg
Indeed it is. 🙂
