How long!

I had to go down to Mintlaw this evening for a meeting and since I was early, I looked to see if any squirrels were about and this one was. Doesn’t she pose well!
Ten months ago, I contacted our local hospital about getting my hearing re-tested. I was told I was on the waiting list but that there was a nine month wait. As the nine months had passed, and more, I contacted them again today, only to be told that I was still on the waiting list but there would a further nine months to wait!!
