No holes

Early Saturday blog to make up for lack of posting on Friday - caused by headache that came on during the evening and required retiring to bed. I seem to be doing a great job of having headaches whilst wearing my heart monitor - obviously trying to perform for the doctor! I'm looking forward to taking it off tomorrow, to get rid of the sticky pads and wires.

Exciting house news from two homes. Firstly, we no longer have holes in the floor in the hall. After more calls to insurance companies than I care to remember, the contractors finally arrived for the first time yesterday and have filled the holes. They may not be back for a couple of weeks to continue with putting the floor back down, but the important thing to note is that work has finally started.

Unfortunately, the animals of the house, particularly the feline ones, took a little too much of an interest at times in what was going on in the hall.


The other exciting house news is that Oaks Dene is now up on Rightmove. If you know anyone who wants to buy a house, send them to this link.

Two pictures

Another two pictures for today's post, one taken by me and one taken by Nicky. They show a Routemaster bus going past St Paul's Cathedral, and a flower in our garden!

Notice

Quick post tonight as early night required - distinct lack of sleep last night now catching up with me.

Big news of the day is that the planning notice has been pinned up on the roadside, so another step towards planning permission.

And a couple of pictures for today - one of tulips on the windowsill, and one of Sahara dust all over my car.

Wired

Another trip to the medical centre today as the saga of neurologist referring me to cardiologist referring me to another cardiologist referring me to the neurologist referring me to the first cardiologist continues.

This time it was a case of popping in for a quick ECG plus getting kitted out with another heart monitor, just the same as the one I had in December, but this time I get to wear it for five days rather than two.

And who knows, perhaps I might have given it some interesting readings today, thanks to a rotten headache.

We'll see next week, when I go back for the consultation.

Q1

Well that was Q1 done and dusted - bring on Q2 ...

Achievements of the day:

• a tidy shed with a bit more space in it;
• a large bonfire; and
• a pile of stuff waiting to go to the tip.
