Just, fairly ordinary. BB (Best Beloved) set on another adventure this morning. It's lucky he actually enjoys driving as he has to do it all these days. I'd rather lost my confidence through hardly driving at all for a couple of years after the first lockdown, and now, using oxygen, it's not such a good idea for me to drive anyway. I know some people do manage to drive safely while using oxygen, but I'm not in that category p.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. BB. Adventure. He's embarking on having some tooth implants, and step one is to have an MRI scan to check his jaw bone density.
It turned out to be a very simple procedure, hardly more than a dental x-ray, none of this being bodily inserted into a scanner sort of do. He returned un-ruffled and un-scathed in time for a late lunch.
We're due a grocery delivery tomorrow morning. Until then our fridge has been looking a bit Mother Hubbard-like.
Luckily the freezer came up trumps, and a couple of 'heading for overdue' containers provided meat loaf and tomato sauce. Good-oh. I'll start batch cooking again next week.
Supper was even more challenging, but crackers and cheese with 'salady bits' and a handful of crisps made a nice plateful.
The comments on my 'Bungalow Legs' post yesterday brought some useful suggestions; using a step-stool or a couple of large thick books to do step-up exercises, and I guess having a sturdy chair or table nearby for support would be sensible. Also, apparently you only need to do the stairs once a day to receive some benefit. That's just as well as I've only been up the stairs once so far!
And that was pretty much that for today.
Tomorrow I MUST get on with a bit of admin; even I am beginning to get tired of procrastinating and I know I'll feel much better for getting it done.
Music
Another movement from the Capriol Suite by Peter Warlock; Mattachins or Sword Dance. Nice and busy to get me energised for tomorrow morning.
Grade 2 violin piece from years gone by. I remember teaching it to two little boys who loved playing it with great gusto!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your music choices Jx
I remember it now; I didn't teach violin but taught aural tests and accompanied all the pupils at a local junior school. It was the giving enough time to the two crotchets at the end of each phrase that's caused me the most problems!
DeleteI love your drawing of the delivery man - very accurate!
ReplyDeleteThank you; you're very encouraging
DeleteI really find your drawings so lovely! I can almost see them in a little book with the adventures written along side them.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, and thank you 😊
