The builders arrived but it wasn't the best day for digging and they said they should have done it yesterday but they got to it and put up a gazebo and soon there was a trench.
I went out to the doctors for 8.30 as my doctor does not make appointments and you have to go or phone on the day to get one. When I got there it was still closed so I waited in the rain!
When it opened I went in and said I wanted an appointment with Dr Barclay and was told she was off today as she had changed her day!!!! I asked if I could see someone else as I had worked myself up to going and thought I was not going to miss the chance. they put me in for 9.30 with another doctor so I went home.
I did a few bits of finishing off in Heather's room before going back to the doctors. I have been having indigestion and tummy ache again, much the same as I had in March. He gave me more tablets and said I should have a blood test to check my ovaries are OK and if things don't settle to go back. He was very pleasant.
I waited for my prescription but they said they could not do the blood test and to go up to the hospital to have it done.
Up at the hospital there was a queue and you now have to take a ticket and go in when your number comes up. I was 74 and it was on 67 so not too bad.
I had the test and she said I would probably have a bruise as my veins are tiny and it did hurt a lot!
Back home again and had to leave my car in the street as the builder had his van and trailer across the drive.
I went over to see Rene and took her a plate of cheese and biscuits and some grapes all from the selection of cheese we had yesterday for lunch. I also took her new lamp over. She was just making a baked potato for her lunch, bless her. she said she would have the cheese for her tea and said it looked lovely.
I plugged her lamp in and removed the other one and she is really pleased with it as it is very pretty. She paid me for the lamp and made me take ten pounds for all my running around. I told her I bought it off the Internet and didn't run anywhere but she got cross and told me to take it so I had to.
Poor thing she can hardly walk and keeps saying she will go into a home but five minutes later says she is not ready yet, so sad.
When I came back I put Heather's room back together and cleaned the windows and it is sooo clean and tidy now and hopefully she might keep it like that. Jon just need to put the shelves back together that he has painted red and then it is finished - phew one more job done!
The builders got on very well and have dug such a deep trench you would think we were having an extension. Jon didn't do anything like that when he put the last patio down!. As this patio will be higher we will need a step and they have dug out for that, too. They left just before five.
I took Totty out and half way round it started to rain so by the time I got back I was pretty wet as was she.
I realised I had not even thought about dinner for tonight so had to go and rummage in the freezer and found a lamb casserole and cooked some vegetables. That was a bit of luck.
We watched some TV and it was all very peaceful.
