What a day!

First off thank you for all my blip birthday wishes, it's the first time I've hit the heady hights of the popular page.  

Once again I'm a day behind.  Yesterday we were up very early to get to an early hospital appointment for a medical check up.  This is in order to get medical insurance.  It involved lots of waiting around.  We left there in the afternoon.   Next stop was Nissan to get a small part for the car. A cover from the back windscreen wiper has gone missing.  They spent about half an hour looking for the spare part then informed us "Do not have, you can order."  The part should arrive on Wednesday next week.  
By this time it was late afternoon so we went to have a relaxing fruit juice with our friend.  We were then just about to go for a swim when a call came through, they are not happy about insuring hubby as they think he has vascular disease.  He in fact has a couple of strents at the top of his leg due to a narrowing of an artery.  He has letters from his Australian surgeon to say that he no longer has a problem, and had a thorough check up with his surgeon last April when we were in Sydney. So that fight continues  aarrggh.  
We had a swim and then got changed to go for dinner, by then it was raining.  We noticed that the small café next to us was open so we walked there.   This is a place we used to frequent regularly  when we first arrived her one year ago.  It closed down for a while but is back with new people.  
The rain was heavy and the power a bit dodgy so I had to wait until this morning to be sure of having wifi.
