Wednesday 11th December - nearly Friday?

 Well, halfway there.

There are various appointments to attend on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Each one wipes out half a day, sometimes with travel, and always with waiting and then with 'a nice cup of tea and a quiet sit down' afterwards. 

An old picture from November,  when BB brought the cyclamen in to show me 

This morning's was a routine follow-up at the hospital, not for the hole in his head (literally,  the consequence of his fight with the clothes drier on Friday) but another matter. It was all very encouraging, 'shall I give you a call in six months to see how you are?' asked the consultant. So we left immensely cheered up. Excellent. 

Tomorrow afternoon is my turn, a routine cardio follow-up. 

Then the final zoom appointment on Friday morning. This is the first of the 'diabetes course' that I unwittingly agreed to after the annual GP checkup. I don't have diabetes 2, but I had rather overdone the biscuits and chocolates in the weeks before the blood test. Oh botheration! I suspect the results would have been better if I had managed to exert a little bit of self-control! 

I thought I was agreeing to a couple of morning's of talk and education and booklets, like my friends and my father have done in the past.

 I am Deeply Unimpressed to find it is a 10 month course with 14 sessions,  90 minutes long!!!!! Horrors!!!! At least, being zoom, I can take my knitting. I'm not at all sure I will stay the course.

Anyway, with all this going on, everything except the December stitching took a back seat, so no fresh photographs today.
