They've arrived!

This morning the workmen arrived in our road and all the tarmac cutting and drilling has begun, much to Jimmy's horror. I have ended up closing my curtains so that he can't see the men walking to and fro because the decibel and pitch of his barking just became too much.

This morning I was at the musculoskeletal department to have my painful foot examined. Fortunately there is no broken bone and I have been told I won't do more harm by exercising on it provided I stop if it becomes chronically painful. Next step will be a scan at the hospital to try and get to the nub of the problem. On the way home I walked through the museum gardens and spotted an unusual array of chimneys - see my extra.
