Wet. grey and miserable today, although the rain is most welcome, even though it has turned cold with it. But good sunset again last night.

This morning I had an appointment to get my knee x-rayed so caught the 9.30 am bus so that I would be able to get the second bus in time to get me there. Despite the hacking I was seen on time and the results should be through in a couple of weeks. Before I caught the bus I had a bit of time and took photos of the poppy heads. They are oriental poppies so very big when they open, lots of buds this year, and I hadn't noticed the pink tinge before.

I just missed one bus back at the hospital so has a drink as they are every thirty minutes. I got off opposite the station, it was beginning to rain then, but not too heavily. The pond opposite the station is always interesting, not that pretty at the moment but I was amused by the seagull swimming on it!

I got a bit of shopping in town, I need to get some healthy stuff to eat and try and get my bmi down. Caught the bus home and sorted out some washing. Then I walked down to the surgery and made an appointment to see the doctor again in three weeks and posted a letter while I was out.
I have been in for the rest of the day, doing a bit of clearing and trying to make a start on repairing a very flimsy top for Sandy. It has two layers and both have one seam completely shredded.
Last part of Little Boy Blue tonight.
