I'm feeling tired, so heading off to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx :hello:
 
Morning.
Mixed weather here. Some light cloud with blue sky but with storm clouds in the distance.
I was just thinking of how I was brought up asking questions getting an answer and accepting it without further questions. I can remember when I was 5 waiting at a bus station when an old lady walked past wearing mens clothes. I could see that she was a woman although she had cut here hair with a bowl on her head. She was wearing a trilby hat, sports jacket and beige trousers. I asked my mum why she dressed like that and my mum said that she liked wearing those clothes. Fair enough ! I got an answer and was happy with it except that it didn't look quite right in my world.It must have left a lasting impression as I can still remember it.
It caused confusion later when we were told about Moses and his Ark. Made out of gold and silver. It will never float as it's too heavy! I kept wondering when they were ever going to sail it ! :wacko:

I was lying peacefully in hospital bed. Two nurses with a trolley appear which is always bad news.
“ hello I am Sharon and this is Debbie. She is a student nurse and has never given an injection to a real patient before. Can she do yours?”
Cannot remember why it had to be buttock but in fact it was pain free unlike some of her colleagues.

As a student nurse my first practice injection was an 🍊 orange.Can’t remember if I introduced myself to the orange

Nice sunny morning so far as the weather here goes.
General mood not so sunny due to parking problems. The bit where I live is a sort of self contained little community with enough parking space for everybody.
Four non resident cars have appeared and some residents are having to park on the carriageway. Rising collective anger. Nobody is going to damage those cars but eventually the owners will be cornered.

Travel chaos yesterday as Fishnish/Lochaline ferry broke down and one from Oban was cancelled and I get bumped to a later one.
Then the cancelled one gets reinstated so I got my tickets transferred again which slightly to my surprise did work as by that time anything was possible.
Woe and lamentations yesterday on Mull as no Sunday papers appeared.
I never read them anyway so it did not bother me.
In the distant past they were brought over to Grasspoint by Granny Spencer in an open launch as there were no Sunday ferries and collected there by a guy who ran a sort of taxi service. They generally arrived early/mid afternoon and since it was an open launch they were sometimes a bit damp.:rolleyes:

Dry cool morning walk to gym and same on way home, calling into town on way home it was noticeable warmer. If i'd known a light coat would have been a good bet. Time for :cuppa: then make a start on the house work well Mrs 73 is out. Otherwise as it's her day off I wont get anything done.

A bit of a belated good morning from sunny Suffolk. Coffee has been had while enjoying a very lazy start to the day. Still undecided as to what to do for the rest of the day, but it will probably involve going out for lunch somewhere as it's Monday.

Nice phone call from my GP my referral is all sorted and do I want them to do another one. At the same time under right to chose as it's not a problem. I Just call in and fill out a form which they they have left for me collect. They may get a bit of stick but really they are the backbone of NHS. Increasingly doing more with less, every day nationally they do 1.3M appointments. More than the rest of NHS put together.
