Mackerel Skies

The day started early, with this sunrise during a brief walk. 

The day was always going to be punctuated by a hospital visit.  The second time I'd had an MRI on a Sunday.  It appears I was first patient after lunch so everything was very punctual.  I would have probably been out sooner had I not had a ticklish throat and coughed a couple of times at inopportune moments.  At one point I thought I was going to have to squeeze the alarm buzzer, but managed to control the coughing in the end.  Still half an hour in the donut was enough for anyone.  At least this time I didn't have to endure an injection delivered by pump driver half way through the investigation.  One step nearer the operation.

Other than that we walked into the park on a couple of occasions to visit the Bloxwich Wake Festival.  From what we can tell it is a substitute for the Bloxwich Carnival that didn't take place this year.  It was probably organised by the fun fair as that seemed to be the main attraction.  Despite the great weather it was poorly attended so I'm not sure whether it will take place again.
