Posted on October 7, 2020 by

It has been one of those days where I can’t settle, get going,  and generally feel BLEH. Saying that though, it hasn’t actually been a bad day. The Head Man himself rang today, albeit late, but at least he apologised. … Continue reading →

Posted on October 4, 2020 by

When Hubby decided he was going for this operation to sort out his reflux, he’d done a lot of research beforehand. The way his case has been handled leaves much to be desired, but it’s done now and we are … Continue reading →

Posted on September 27, 2020 by

The phone has dinged four times this morning with four more reminders of our flu jabs tomorrow. Not bad for an appointment we didn’t know we had. Still, we shall turn up at the appointed time and if they question … Continue reading →

I actually dropped Hubby off at 6.15 this morning as we made good time. This isn’t really surprising bearing in mind what time it was! Reception was open so he was able to go straight in, and I came home. … Continue reading →

You couldn’t make this up……………………

Posted on September 21, 2020 by

It has been our nightmare, the phone call from the hospital to say Hubby’s Op has been cancelled. The phone rang this afternoon just before 1pm and I answered.  I recognised the number before she said who was calling and … Continue reading →

Another vet visit

Posted on September 9, 2020 by
