Morning all.
I love this weather , the hotter the better for me , my wife hates it though .
It’s been a funny old week , our painter sort of let us down at the last minute , he asked if he could put back his start date for a week , but that didn’t fit in with our plans , we had to get the walls decorated before the rads were put on .
So we decided to do the painting ourselves , gave the painter a fuck off tablet .
But then the plumber got put back three days , his work was in the build contract , so we couldn’t get any one else, ….besides , he is a fellow yid and all round good bloke and I knew he wouldn’t muck us around if it wasn’t genuine.
So we have been painting all week , not the best place to be in a heatwave , under glass ……. The paint is drying as we put it on .
The floor layer has delayed his work because the heat is making the vinyl tiles too soft , …..it’s been one thing after another .
It’s been a test for my new found air of acceptance!!!!
I was at the Hospital on Friday , having a CT Scan , as they are trying to find a reason as to why I’ve got a blood clot in my leg . They are looking for sinister things now , which I don’t like the idea of , .the last bloke I spoke at the hospital said the flight to the Canaries in March could have caused it, but he wanted to make sure I didn’t have anything nasty lurking .
I’ve had just about every test known to man now , The NHS are just the best …….. makes me feel so humble and so very grateful.
I’m on blood thinning tablets for three months , which they are saying should clear it up.
I’ve got one normal size leg and one that is swollen double it’s size . Getting shoes on my left foot is a challenge .
Luckily there is no pain , …. After the scan yesterday , when they pumped this gubbins into me , which made me have a hot flush and a feeling like I’d just pissed myself , they told me to drink plenty of fluids to flush it all out of system .
I asked if beer counted as fluids , and the lovely lady Radiographer said it did ,……. so I did .
I think I’ve flushed it all out now . ……
So back to the painting this morning , we only do a few hours each day , no point in knocking yourself out . Nobody else is bothered about getting our jobs done , in a hurry , so why should we !
It’s great being retired .
Down side to all the above though , is that I missed the cricket this week ,,,, I didn’t even know it was on …… most unlike me , didn’t see any game , not even the highlights .
Hope you are all well , take care , look after each other.
