    Glad you are still with us @Allotment Boy.

    Keeping everything crossed for your OH in early Oct @Busy-Lizzie.  This time, surely!  Enjoy Bressingham - we used to visit before we moved here when visiting the in-laws, but not since.

    Feeling better today - the antibiotics have kicked in - and now angry because I have yet another letter from our business association bank telling me that the forms to add a new signatory to the account are incomplete.  This is the third time and, despite a phone call and a visit to a branch with the complete documents, this is still happening.  Such a nuisance.

    Afternoon all,

    I've been busy all morning clearing what I call the courtyard outside the kitchen/dining room windows as I've arranged to have the gutters cleaned and fascia/soffits/windows washed next week.  All my pots have been removed out of the way plus the table and chairs.  I also had to remove the glass from my small leanto greenhouse so I could move this out of the way as well. Pondering whether or not to permanently move this into a different position to make this job much easier in the future but there isn't a lot of room to spare. Lots of thought required.

    I'm really pleased @Busy-Lizzie to hear about your OH's new appointment but I thought he already had an existing one for 20th September?  Enjoy your trip to Bressingham, I've always wanted to visit there.

    Glad you feel better @Didyw. Annoying about the bank's inefficiency though.

    Oh well, I'd better get on and get back out there while it's still dry and sunny.

  • Glad the meds are working @didyw … very irritating about the paperwork … I’ve a feeling most bank staff don’t stay in one role long enough these days to learn the job from end to end. 🙄 

    @Lizzie27 that’s something we need to arrange before long … we had new gutter, pipe work and fascias etc put in by the builders a few years ago … some are looking a bit green now, especially on the northfacing side. 

    Hmm … innards still a bit gripey. 😠

    Hurray, wonderful news @punkdoc. So pleased for both of you.

    Thank you all for your good wishes. Yes, @Lizzie27, OH does still have an appointment on the 20th September at the private hospital. I expect it will be cancelled when someone realises that they transferred him back to the NHS.

    Bressingham was lovely and we had a ride on 2 steam trains. I'll post some photos on Garden Visits. Lovely warm day. @Dovefromabove - yes we had ice cream!

  • I had a scare like that @punkdoc a few years ago... Had to have 2 biopsies six weeks apart... Not knowing was the worst but luckily to distract me Prince was playing in London so I went to see him twice to take my mind off it!!!
    I've never been so pleased to hear the phrase "you just have lumpy boobs!" Have a glass of something fancy and celebrate! Sending you very best wishes to you both xx
  • Hurrah!!!! hurrah!!!
    Hur-bloody-rah!!! 
    Fan-dabby-dozy!!!
    🥂 🥂 🥂 

    That’s marvellous news @punkdoc
    Lots of love to you both. Have a marvellous evening … and weekend… and life 😃

    Very good news @punkdoc and especially for Moira.

    @Busy-Lizzie, if the 20th Sep appointment is not formally cancelled, presumably OH will still attend - at least he might be able to bend the consultant's ear! Glad you liked Bressingham.

    I've hit the wine early after a lot of clearing up and then a long shower. Really needed it tonight. Thankfully we've got a ready meal - Slow cooked beef Parpadelle. It's a really good one.

  • Very pleased for you and Moira  @punkdoc . A weight off your mind. 
    Kindness is always the right choice.
