What are you all up to

Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx?? Enjoy it.

I was due to have my MRI Scan at 8:20 this morning but things didn't quite go to plan!! Because, in the dim and distant past, I had tiny metal fragments removed from my eyes while working in the shipyard they would not allow me to have the scan until I had the ok that there were no longer any metal particles in the eye socket. They were worried that the scan, which is magnetic, might move anything which could damage my optical nerve, so I was sent for an x-ray. Being Sunday the radiologist wasn't until late so I was sent home and have to return tomorrow morning to see about getting the scan then if the x-ray is clear.
More disappointing news as well, as we are waiting for a builder to do some work on the sides of our dormers, but the forecast is for wet weather all next week so he phoned to postpone the work until, hopefully, next week. I had move our van next door, as they are away for 10 days, so that it didn't get damaged but will now have to move it back again now and then take it elsewhere when the work starts. These things do come to try us!! 

Good to read that other have been busy in gardens and garages. Hope your extension turns up soon, WN. It has been dry here all day but not as sunny as some have had, certainly not warm enough to sit outside like you, Francis. Enjoy your fancy dress party, OP.

Thanks DavidK and richardandros.  I'll try and look them up.  Leicester isn't too far away from us...

David

Found last year's photos, David. I think he made a really good job of it.

Richard

😱good job they checked Nellie. Hope things go well and get sorted for you, so you can get out and about again. We are back to showers here today, glad I got a lot of gardening done yesterday.

Counting down to wedding next Sunday now, we will take MH I think, so pooch can come with us, lots of room for him. Otherwise he gets a day with Mum and sister, who will spoil him to bits. Not too far away, some bijoux hotel near Huddersfield, so quite a nice drive, we won’t be going up motorway.

OH came back with some good things from NEC. Autoglym stuff, some new tools, and a brand new tonneau cover for MG at a great price.

Hope matters now sorted for Nellie.

Enjoy the wedding Ttda. Have you finished with making your attire?

"Baby-sitting" this morning as OH had to have a retake of one of her eye tests that she had a while ago. They seem satisfied at the moment.

She called in to buy a birthday card for one of MiLs friends as Mil not quite up to making one at the moment. There was an elderly lady sitting on her "Walker" looking distressed. Everyone in shop ignoring her so OH asked if she needed help. She couldn't get the courage to walk back to her car in the car park about 200 yards away so OH walked with her and put her walker in the car for her. Only takes a moment to imagine one of your own relatives or friends in that position in order to offer a helping hand. 

Visited the tip (see garage clearance yesterday) before visiting the madhouse that was Tesco's. School hols here.

Bless your OH WN, that’s just like me. I think if you are with very elderly, vulnerable folks a lot, you develop a sixth sense that something might not be right, and an offer of help if required is good, can make a huge difference if someone is anxious. 👏👏

Just completed my outfit this morning. Only OH to sort out now. He has a lovely tweed suit, just got to decide on a tie, he has pick of my Dad’s wonderful collection. I might make the hound a bow tie…….in tweed. Can’t go wrong really, Tweed, feathers and a Labrador🤣

As it turned out we did have rain, heavy at times, for much of the day, so the decision by the builder to postpone the work was fully justified. Just have to hope that next week is better, as forecast.
I eventually had my MRI scan, although after reporting at the x-ray reception on time I had about an hour's wait, as the receptionist sent me to the wrong waiting area!! However it was eventually sorted out and scan completed, so I just have to wait for the results now.

Good work by your OH, WN, and well done on completing the outfit tda, hope you and your OH have a good time next weekend. The caravan looks very smart Richard.

A better day weather wise today, dull but warmer and no rain yet. We both had an appointment  this morning at the dentist to have a filling done. 

Where is everyone else? Has everyone had problems with the dreaded "service error" just ask have had this evening?

Yes it’s bad Nellie, service errors all over last couple of days.
