Morning it's Tuesday.............

Prove it!!

Well hello world. Heavy fog, no breeze and everything is wet. I suspect the wet is from the fog.

Another great sleep. Something has changed.

I'm a get up and go person. This year my get up seems to have gone. I rarely get started on life till around 10.00. Pre-lockdown it would be usual for me to be doing stuff by 7.00. Will my get and go come home??

Today is housework. Then I have to visit No.3 son. Baby, work, domestics have suddenly got on top of him. All I can offer practically is to build more IKEA furniture. Mrs P will be pushing the pram.

Prove it!!

Bin day. Definitely Tuesday.

Morning all.
First of all, thanks for all your thoughtful comments..... weird as we only know each other online but they have been very upbuilding.
Quick update.....
MrsD sounds very positive this morning.
Apparently she has what they call an "indentation" in the spine which is causing the leg/foot pain. They want her in Clatterbridge to treat that.
The cancer is "what it is" and they think is contained ie not spread.
Her head, as they say, is in the shed so waiting clarification......it was only yesterday they wanted her in Lpool spinal unit.
Frustrating...... I want to sit down with ALL the doctors but that's not possible.

I meant to ask yesterday. Our Council Tax bill arrived yesterday. I don't have a problem with paying for local services. It is by far our single biggest outgoing, £196/month, which bothers me as it's the only one I can't control or reduce.

Reading it I thought the 2% increase from the local authority etc. is reasonable.

I am very surprised to see the Police Commmisoner and Fire Services are charging an extra 7.1%. I'd love to know how this is justified especially in light of giving NHS staff 1%. 🤔 I do realise the money comes from different places.

Good news on the cancer front at least.

Ours has been frozen this year thankfully.

What a lovely walk earlier. Cloud lifted quickly and the sun came out. Even got too warm at points. So peaceful too. Only a couple of regulars.
