This is a short version to give me time to get everything needed for the visit to the surgery tomorrow. Everything takes much longer to get done nowadays, and I hate cutting down my beloved blog. But, needs must. Sorry.

I have to take clothing, shaving, etc., just in case they keep me in. They won’t, I’m sure; I’m not the King, so I do not need to close down the hospital kitchen and use my two personal cooks with me… or have a ward to myself with armed guards, two nurses and a sister 24 hours a day, and three specialists and four doctors in attendance for any operation needed.
But it doesn’t bother me.

Even darker this morning.

My Iceland Delivery arrived.
With not having another delivery for eight days, I stocked up on nibbles & treats for the nurses, delivery drivers, and carers who call on me.
A little concerned about the use-by date.
On the cobs. Why has it got a hand-written 10/7 on a self-sticky label atop the square? 
They were hard to squash as well.
Mmm?


I bent down to retrieve the just knocked over and clouted myself on the forehead against the tap. Then continued with my evacuationing…
Eurgh!

The legs seemed one heavy, one lighter?
The day set-up is due to be changed tomorrow. But only if the Carer arrives earlier. But I have requested it via other Carers, so I should have time… provided I get up early enough to get the ablutions done first.

An odd outcome for this zoomed-in shot of the street, Cavendish Crescent. Not very good.

Came. She helped me with the leggings. Bless her. Medications were issued, and we shared a laugh briefly. Nice!

An hour later, getting lighter.

Took its time getting light today.

On this occasion, the day punch had filled within two hours of emptying it.

Carer Came and went, and As I got settled on the computer again, I noticed the sound of the wind and saw that the rain had returned. Went on the balcony to take some views. All through the glass.
To the right is the end of the car park with the mudslide from the collapsing mud on the park.
Front view.
Left view.

A rare lately, a second daily visit to the wet room…
With sticky dumplings undercooked!

Easy-Peasy!

Imitation belly pork, fantastic oven chips, and a fruity brown sauce dip for the bread. Rounded of with a pot of orange jelly. Delectable nosh!

TTFNski, each!

Alto-Inchie v Inchy Odeing Argument

The usual blog has been delayed, folks...
Things depend on the procedure I’m having down by the Medico’s in the morning. But I anticipate a few scribbled notes may replace the next few days’ usual, magnificently written and presented Inchy Blog.

Adored by many people all over the globe. I hope they both understand why I have to deprive them of their usual daily, witty, intelligent meanderings of the old chap from Nottingham.

I expect to be back on Thursday… or Friday.
They won’t keep me in as long as they did King Charlie, nor I expect, will the Doctor tell me to take-it-easy for several days. I anticipate coming out of the operating theatre and being thrown in an ambulance or taxi and lifted home. Argue about the cost, and report my return to the flat as I always do to the Management. Last time, they didn’t know I’d been in hospital. Hehehe!

Keep well, muckers! (Both of you).
