Thanks Chicky it was wonderful. My foot got much better but I made up for it by kicking the bottom of the shower with my other foot, splitting my little toenail, and then I did it again. OH says it's about time I realised how big my feet are.
I think I'll just eat the cream buns now - just in case.
Welcome home Lesley! The time did fly! Glad foots on the mend, bad luck with the other foot you will have a very trendy youth like walk if you keep this up!
Have a lovely stomp Dove! I'm in the garden for the morning and got to go in town after lunch.....not my favorite thing!.....town, not lunch!
Beautiful day here as well, don't often get days like this.
Does anyone remember the children's cartoon of the Adams family,(could have been the Munsters) but they travelled around in a motor home and a permanent rain cloud hovered over them? That's what iSt usually like here!
Have a beautiful day everybody, what a wonderful world this is.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Lovely day - definitely one for the garden. Sounds as though it will be getting warmer in the E & SE over the next few days. Being a perrenial grump can only think that means more watering .... (not really - will be nice to see summer )
LILY P - it was me that mentioned the MP3 player. Runny was quite right - you wouldn't be allowed to take one of those in the scanner - sorry if I misled you. My friend was allowed to take a CD with her own selection of music which was played to her in the scanner. I just thought they might have updated a little & be able to play a playlist from an MP3 player these days.
There is quite a lot of info online about having an MRI scan - mostly very reassuring (stick to the NHS site & don't read any of the scary 'Forums') - and I'm sure you'll get useful info from the hospital.
Relaxation techniques can be very useful when it comes to 'zoning out'. They are probably available online / Youtube if you are interested.
You will be fine. And you can treat yourself to coffe and cake afterwards
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Hello folks - back from the marshes - wonderful wild flowers everywhere and lots of butterflies and dragonflies- hedgerows frull of ripening wild cherryplums, sloes will be good this year too, and I got a tub full of blackberries (about half a kilo). I saw and heard green woodpeckers and a tree creeper, a mallard duck and eight ducklings dabbling in the duckweed, a moorhen and some animated bundles of black cotton wool and a pair of swans with six cygnets. There were also lots of fish in the river, some small rudd or roach (I think) and some bigger ones that were possibly brown trout ... a lovely walk, but now I'm very hot and sticky - heading for the shower ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hi Lesley, glad you had a lovely time. Glad that foot is on the mend, sorry to hear you stubbed your other foot though
LilyP, I had an MRI a few years ago. I only had go half way in. Doesn't take very long, you'll be fine, promise x. Just think about the lovely cake you'll be eating afterwards. Sending hugs x
Hi RB, she was a bit grizzly yesterday, so i had to rock her to sleep ......so l had an extra long cuddle
RB, could you get me an ice cream too please, the ones with the flake in
Supposed to be cloudy today but it's very sunny here
Welcome back Lesley, happy anniversary Hosta, and what a sight your lawn is bizzy but it's very neat and level and the first rain will green it up
Did some early gardening, potting on Ecinops, salvias and planting a couple of things still in their pots
Now torn between sunbathing and cricket what a wonderful job our chaps are doing (I'm of that generation that hates the Aussies because they dominated for so long )
Other news, I raized four square foot of border the other day cutting down my large Acanthus mollis. I have two more at the back of the border but the one at the front is no longer architecturally stunning and now just big bad and ugly.
I'll have my work cut out getting rid of the roots but I want water next to the patio so something to look forward to next year

Glad you had a lovely hol Lesley
Right, I'm off for a meander across the marshes to see how the blackberry hedges are doing - see you later

Morning all
Lovely day here too
Can't believe how big the calf looks already
You can tell I don't have much of a background with farmyard animals 
Better go and dig up some more of the pond to create my planting area
Catch you all later

Sounds like a lovely walk Dove
Hello all- the sun is shining - again! Lesley did you organise that for coming home? We're to get more of it tomorrow - it's just unbelievable!
Can you detect the sarcasm there?
Sorry about your foot though
Glad cream buns are doing a good job - I've always believed a bit of carefully chosen cake can cure anything
Frit - does that make you a granny?
doc- I loved the headline in one of the Aussie papers today - 'Pomicide' ....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
