You are at least in the hospital, not at home?My operation will now be tomorrow and sitting waiting for a bed again
Yes in hospital.

That's one thing, not having to return home to go back the following day.
You were allowed to eat, I'll assume, once they cancelled today's. Two days and no eating isn't healthy.

I'd had a drive earlier - Hebden Bridge, Heptonstall (I'm collecting place names that begin with H) - so it felt like time for exercise. Then it felt like time to get dry and warm.

I was born next to a railway .
I know ! Times were hard in those days !
There was a large embankment in front of our house called the Batters. The main line from Bristol to Paddington . It was one of the places where we would play. In those days the embankment was devoid of trees and was covered in long grass and ant hills . Every now and then the grass would catch fire . Whether this was done on purpose or by accident I don't know but it kept the embankment clear. It was good hunting ground for our cats who would sometimes catch rabbits , it was also good for tabogganing down in the winter . Being born there it was a thing I accepted as being normal and would sleep through engineering work which took place during the night.
For me the Felixstowe to Ipswich line is a stone's lob away. Despite there being 30+ freight movements each way on a daily basis plus an hourly passenger train each way it's the absence of trains on a Sunday morning that's noticed most.

Good news - I guessed right with the recycling bin and it was empty when I went out to check this morning. Either that or someone's nicked a load of paper, plastic bottles & food and drink cans.
If you ignore the very stiff breeze, it's been a lovely day here - clear skies, warm sunshine (out of the wind obviously) and not a hint of rain. Which is a good thing as, since about 4pm there's been a cardboard box filled with 200 coffee filter papers sat outside my back door having been delivered while I was at work.
Only 2 hours left to go.

There's Holdsworth, in Holmfield*, with Holdsworth Hall where The Beatles stayed whilst performing in Bradford, to the North.
And Highroad Well. Hipperholme further out the A58 you were on today.
*Or is it the other way round? Local families named their area's after themselves.

The difference between heaven and hell is in the company you keep
