Diary summary week ending 17th March 2024
« on: Monday 11 March 24 15:40 GMT (UK) »
Where is everyone today?

Lousy day again after having a few nice days last week , no lawn mown, to wet.

Not a lot going  on, have emptied a glass cabinet and washed all the glasses and nick knacks, only broken 1 glass, silly me,  but it does look nice all put back in and the lights on inside, was a well overdue job.

Hope all  is  well with everyone and those  below par are feeling better.

Sorry LM. Reporting in. Have had a challenging day at a family members funeral, however it was good to see family we only ever see at funerals and reminisce. I was asked to put together a file of some photos ( mostly black and white) and there were other photo albums there too, so that was lovely and lots of conversations, memories and laughter followed.

I think I made an error, the edge of the folded newspaper needs to be tucked in when you lie the jar on the paper so the paper needs to extend over the opening of the jar so you can tuck it in ,then remove the jar and put it back in base first, press it down firmly to flatten the turned in part.

Heard a lot of noise on thr bird table ,two Wood Pigeons with the white flash on their necks.
I put out a whole loaf, a round French Boule from Tesco, but they are dusted with uncooked flour ,well it is white,so a shorter life .I don’t eat much bread and nor does my son ,so the whole thing was wasted after about four days in the fridge in a plastic box.
The loaf is hollow now, like a ring ,but the biggish birds are keeping the little ones away,no peck marks on the fat balls etc.
I will put some in another place ,among the Dogwood bushes.

Well must make tracks as my mother would say or get wired in — in other words do some housework.

Cheerio.
Viktoria.

I went to the local hospital on Monday to get a cholesterol review blood test.
I had received a text from the doctor to say make an appointment at surgery to have this done but when I tried to I was told they had no appointments and I was advised to go to hospital pathology instead.
So on Monday I skipped breakfast (so as to get a fasting result - hopefully better?) and went to the hospital.  When I got to pathology there was a large crowd.  The waiting room was full and people were spilling out into the corridor.  My first thought was I might have to skip lunch too.  You had to take a numbered ticket. When your number came up you had about 30 seconds to get through the door otherwise it would jump to next number.  Fortunately, I had brought a book.  After a good wait, someone came along and apologised for the wait.  They said their new computer system was slow and that they got a lot more people than they used to as surgeries now send people to them instead of doing it themselves.  She said that they were going to try to do their best in the time frame but that most would not get seen to.  There was a bit of an outcry and she said she would get the relevant paper work if anyone wanted to complain.  A lot just walked away.  I decided to risk staying and eventually I did get a turn.
The person who took the sample looked very dour.  No smiling or social niceties at all; they looked very hard pressed and grim.  They only wanted my birth date and address.  I told them what this was for as they didn't ask but presumably there might have been something on the screen about it.  I said thank you after.  I didn't ask any questions as I felt like just a number by that point.  Number 89 to be precise. Plus it didn't feel fair to hold things up for the other people.

I'm not doing too much today as I'm on nightshift tonight.
