Feeling quite pleased with myself today. I spent most of yesterday working in the garden so the view is looking very tidy. Its amazing what a difference mowing the lawn makes. Seems to make the garden bigger. Now I can start to work on pots and tubs, trimming the shrubs and cutting back the brambles and nettles which always try to take over every year. Sadly there was a casualty of my efforts yesterday.
I knocked over the bird table and its looking a bit sorry for itself. I think its repairable, we’ll see. I’m also going to have to take a look at the feet of our table too. Seems the years haven’t been too kind. The bottom of one set of feet have rotted out. Looks like I have to re-awaken my woodworking skills.
Will be heading down to the doctors later today. My wife is suffering from what we believe to be flu. Has the cough and voice of someone who smokes sixty a day. Says she feels like she has gone several rounds with Mike Tyson and then been mugged. That would be the muscle ache from all the coughing. She saw the doctor on Thursday but all they prescribed was a nasal spray to relive the congestion. Said her chest was clear. Not so sure now, judging by the death rattle when she is trying to sleep.
Have already spoken to the out of hours medics who recommended we wait till 09:00 when our own surgery will have someone on duty.
Don’t you just love the NHS
