Monday

Today started with a volunteering shift for a couple of hours.  It is a strange place with lots of signs and notices on the walls.  Some laminated some just stuck up with drawing pins.  There are so many that you kind of stop looking or noticing them after a while!  However there was a new one today saying ‘please don’t bring your mobile phone into the operations room’.  Made me smile and also made me a bit cross - all adult volunteers giving up their time freely and I do kind of resent being treated like a child!  Rant over.

OH took MIL to the hospital for another pre- assessment and we are keeping everything crossed that she gets the right results to proceed to surgery.  We spent the afternoon in the garden - OH cut the big grass and I lit the bonfire - huge pile of branches and leaves which has been building up for months and was now  dry enough (after all the rain) to light.  The wind seemed to be in the right direction not to annoy the neighbours but it did create an awful lot of smoke!

Dinner and scrabble finished the day - I won tonight and have now levelled the scores.  I do wonder if we are a bit sad and should get out more!?!
