Morning all
Bacon butties ready
I am being assessed at 11.00 for a medical cert to help with car expenses
Yet another bluddy quack looking me over…

I have been mightily cheered by the fact that someone (must be from the livery yard) has adorned the trees along part of our walk with baubles, beads and little white birds. Ooh - tinsel on the wooden bridge, too!
Have you had your assessment yet, Twellsy?

Been assessed and a Primary medical certificate will be issued to help with transport
So vat and tax can be reclaimed from the government
And all taxes on a new vehicle are null and void

Having realised that, despite in-depth food-planning, we had nothing available to eat on our arrival at the cottage (typical Christmas, in the hive - loads to eat, but only when I say so). I have roasted virtually all left-over veg - peppers, potatoes, red onions, tomatoes and Kalamata olives to eat with lentil burgers from the freezer. Tonight will be smoked salmon scramblies and chips.

Love it, Soo!
Am having an Flump after an fraught afternoon. I went to collect my prescription, & then into town.
Have unpacked my prescription to find yet another item is missing.
This is the 3rd time in 3 months…
When I ‘phoned the surgery I had to listen to a Noo recorded message saying that, due to unprecedented demand for appointments, the surgery would be following Healthcare England’ s advice, & redirecting many non-urgent appointments to Opticians, & other healthcare professionals.
As they obviously couldn’t read my precription notes, I think that they would do well to appoint an eye specialist…
Sigh

I went to the hospital to collect the prescription they were unable to give me on Friday, since they rang to let me know it had arrived. This time instead of having a lift, I parked at the nearest car-park and did the 3000 or so paces to the hospital and back to the car park. By the time I had got back to the car I felt as if I had been being beaten with clubs about the legs and back. Maybe it was a little soon to do such a vast amount of striding around.
It’s rather frustrating.

Bluddy awful, Fishers. But, you’re alive and kicking and I’m glad of that.
Poor Darling. Let’s share the strongest medicinals available from the Cellar. Slàinte Mhath!

Well Fishy, having gone almost directly to Covid after an head injury, with very little time or fun in between, I am not really surprised.
The feeling of having been hit by a steamroller is widely reported…

I admire your diligence, Twellsy.
Should all go to plan, there will be 7 ovvus over Christmas, one vegetarian and one peskytarian and catering has to be done in a strange kitchen for a 4 day period without any essentials like olive oil, salt, pepper - I could go on. The meat and cheese will arrive, separately, tomorrow and we’ll source sprouts etc. on Thursday. It’s quite exhausting - I woke at 04.00 fretting that there wouldn’t be enough to eat (there will) and that a curried rice salad was essential.
Poor flat Fish!
