Tuesday

I have been trying to contact a man from police dog handling to arrange a meeting for our Lions group and finally he rang me back this morning. Unfortunately, he can't do the meeting this month but says he would love to come along to a meeting in the New Year!!! Can you believe that, already sorting out for 2014!!!!

I left to go to my keep fit class which once again was very good and we had to open all the doors as we worked so hard and were very hot. I didn't stay for coffee as I needed to get home and ready to go and meet Jon to go for his CT scan.

I had a coffee and changed and got ready to go out again. I drove over to Bayfair and left my car in the car park there (it is free) and Jon came from the office and picked me up.

The drive to Whakatane takes between and hour and a quarter to two hours depending on lorries. We made it to the hospital and were very early but Jon was taken in straight away. Whakatane hospital is old and has lots of small buildings spread out on a large site with lots of building work going on so finding the entrance to actually get in was a major task!!

I settled down with my book to read as the letter had stated the scan would take 40 minutes so I was very surprised when he was out after just fifteen and all finished. We were actually on our way out before we should have gone in.

We won't get the result till they send it to the consultant and they he will phone Jon. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

On our way home we stopped for some lunch. It was about ten to two and here in NZ they are usually closing as most people eat early. Fortunately, they said we could order and we asked for pumpkin soup. It took a very long time to come out considering we were the only ones there and when it did it was not very warm and not very tasty. The garlic toast was sliced French bread that had hardly seen a toaster!! A few mouthfuls was more than enough and we walked out - just as well it didn't cost a lot.

The drive home was good and Jon dropped me off at the car park and he went back to work and picked up a sandwich on the way.

I came home and had some lunch before taking Totty out for her walk.

The new house being built below us is really coming on and they are having the kitchen and bathrooms fitted now. I think I might have to ask if I can look inside one of these days or speak to the new owners when they do move in.

I put some fruit into soak in Earl Grey tea for the Lions afternoon tea on Sunday so I will get that made tomorrow.

I cooked some pork loin for dinner tonight. Jon seems to be able to tolerate pork so we have it more than we used to.

We watched some TV and now it is bedtime again. I have a busy day tomorrow, doctor, lunch with a friend and then sorting books. Not quite sure when I am going to get the cake baked!!
