In many ways it hasn't been the best of days. My ankle was really bad this morning, and even after pills is really taking it's time to settle down. Can't really get on with the exercises until it becomes a little less painful.A couple of days ago I was having trouble with the printer (those who know me well will be aware that printers and I have a very uneasy history!) Anyway, now it will just not cancel or go away, so today Darren and I went to PC World to look at HP printers. I used to have one but when I was operating on Vista I had all sorts of problems with it. Now, with an HP laptop maybe they will get along. Didn't buy anything today, just looked. We had a snack and I did a bit of shopping. Wanted a broom and dustpan set for upstairs as well as some other bits. Tina has a large umbrella plant, which has been behind the kitchen door and has not been at it's best since we moved here. When the new cat arrived Tina decided it needed to be moved, so I said it could come up on my landing as the plants I have out there seem happy enough. With a little tlc the plant is doing well in it's new position.
This afternoon I had the long awaited dental appointment. Nothing else needed doing except for the tooth I broke a month ago. The first attempt at a filling fell out when she removed the metal support thing,so then she used a different substance which smelt of strong glue and then she fussed about how it was sitting for my 'bite'. I said it was ok as I didn't feel too bright, and when I got up I was really dizzy and thought I was going to faint for a minute. I walked back slowly, passing this garden with an array of pink and while valerian.
I cut through to the cliff top and took a slow walk down. The rain has stopped by then, but really overcast and still threatening more rain. You could see that there was some sunshine in the distance.
It was windy and this magpie settled on a bush for a bit of a rest.
A couple of windblown, not very summery pictures of the bay.
The garden next door has a lovely hydrangea, I don't think I have seen one this colour before.
I have done nothing productive today, maybe I will feel more like it tomorrow. At the moment watching Marcus Willis on centre court, a fun watch!

Not a great day from the sounds of it. But hopefully it's a temporary thing until the poking and prodding wears off. A bit of feet up and tennis is in order I think.
ReplyDeleteYou and printers! You shouldn't be allowed to have one :-) Has Darren tried updating the printer drivers for you? Maybe new ones are around for Windows 10. Or at least delete the old ones and reload them. Might save the cost of another new printer.
The dentist appointment was fun then. You should certainly go back if it doesn't feel right. They charge plenty, so it should be good. Just don't eat hard things, and stay away from printers and you'll be fine :-)
Does seem to be settling down now, so fingers crossed. May get Darren to take another look at the computer and printer. Had my tea and not so conscious of the tooth now so will see how it feels tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your tooth has settled ok. Nothing worse than having pain around the head area. Especially the mouth. Tina's umbrella plant looks well settled in. I'm just as useless with printers, now I just leave all that to Brian. Marcus Willis match was fun, such a cheeky smile.. Let's hope today stays dry for them. Xx
ReplyDeleteFunny you have trouble with printers too, like real sisters! Murray is playing now, so fingers firmly crossed, although it won't be as entertaining as yesterday! xx
