Doctors, disappointment and hanging baskets

 This morning I had an appointment at the surgery, very nice lady doctor who actually listened. She has prescribed some stronger tablets along with some to protect my stomach, so will give it a try. She does want me to have the X-ray on my hip so I will endeavour to get to the hospital tomorrow.

Tina was out for lunch and Dobbies had a special offer for fish and chips if you have a loyalty card. We got there before one and the fish dinner was sold out! We chose something else but it was very disappointing. The offer is on for a couple more Tuesdays so we will go again nd get there before twelve!

But I did buy some plants to redo the hanging baskets and a tub. I sat with the cat on my lap this afternoon, I tried to read but ending up dozing. I had a bad night as apart from a niggly knee the tinnitus was really loud and bothering me which is unusual.

I have planted up two hanging baskets and a tub, I did get was water retention crystals to add to the soil this time.

Will finish with a Google photos collage, it made me smile.

  1. I do hope the stronger pills help. They must be strong if you have to take the stomach pills too! Maybe the X-ray will show up something and it’ll be fixable. That’d be great.
    It is very disappointing when you’re looking forward to fish and chips and don’t get them ☹️ You’ll have to go at 9am next Tuesday and queue up!
    I’ll have to get a cat if it helps you sleep like that. I could do with a nap every now and again.
    You’ll need a lot of the water retention crystals to cope with this weather!
    I’m sure the Google collage was brilliant, but you forgot to put it on here πŸ˜‚ It’s the lack of sleep!

  2. It is there now!
    Fingers crossed the new pills help, time will tell.
    I used to have a gadget that went on the hose so that i could reach the hanging baskets, may have to get another one!
