Monday, feels a little odd. Its eight o’clock and I take my meds and drift off again. An hour later I am doing puzzles until I am asked if I have rung the GP. More medical crap to do, so I ring, and ring, and ring, ans so on until the universe gives up and I get through. I chat to the receptionist who obviously pulls up my record as she is able to tell me what antibiotics I am on and that my last urine sample came back negative for infection, not something I knew and not something I think the receptionist should know or be telling me. Anyway she takes a lot of info and puts together a note for my GP, she assures me he will see it and contact me in due course. Due course ended up meaning “not today”.

I spent the morning doing invoices, sorting out my farewell message to the services I worked with. I friend rings and we have a quick chat as she goes to the dentist. A few more puzzles and I am ready for the garden where I water the pots. Its an effort and it is slow work. As I go round I take photos of flowers that have popped out. I am constantly surprised by the way the garden always surprises me and provides moments of beauty.

Amongst all this I start to contact plumbers to fix our buggered mixer tap in the kitchen. No one responds straight off so I leave messages in the hope that someone out their will come back to me. A mid day bacon sandwich and I am heading for the Shed. For the first time in ages I am sitting at my Shed desk writing a letter. It a strange feeling and I rely on the pen adn ink to know what they are doing. A finish my letter and go to post it discovering on the way that Tesco had delivered. Back in the Shed I get a call from a plumber. The deal is I get the new tap, tell him and he rocks up sometime next week. So starts the great tap hunt. My partner and I agree one adn I try to order one from a variety of suppliers. Every time I go to pay my card fails, I become extremely pissed off. Eventually I find exactly what I want on Amazon who will be delivering it tomorrow. Just to complete my day I order next Mondays injection and then feed the hedgehog. We eat for the evening and then I settle down to draft the blog with a background of NCIS, new series.
