A post bank holiday Tuesday and I am up early as I am off to the hospital today for the result of my ultrasound on my sebaceous cyst. First a shower in the now non leaking facility followed by breakfast. On the drive to the hospital I have the company of a friend on the phone as she waited for her partner to emerge from a hospital appointment. I’m at the hospital early and have to wander around a bit before they can book me in. Once booked in I wait to be called. I am called and in I go. Two minutes tops to tell me what I already knew and tell me there is a three to twelve week wait before the cyst gets cut out. I walk back to the hotel car park and drive home. A waste of my time really, they could have phoned me and told me and save every ones time. By the time I got home the engineer had been to mend Daisy dishwasher and succeeded at a cost of course but it means I can get back to my nightly routine of setting the dishwasher off before bed. I contact a couple of private hospitals adn ask if they can do the surgery I need quickly. The answer was either that they could not get a consultant appointment any earlier than the nhs or the consultant that was available is now off ill. So much for the private sector. A brief lunch and I set off for the Shed to write letters and to train.

Back in the house I find new plants have arrived which means that at least part of my day tomorrow is sorted. I also find the book that I ordered, the first book by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold. I found that the book that I read a couple of days before was Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Cafe, was the follow up to the original. So now I shall read the first book in the series.

My evening is food and football before the blog. I want to read before bed but I am tired. Despite training I still feel less than activated.
