What's on your agenda for today?

Looked out of the kitchen window and was surprized to see a sheep looking back at me. I was even more surprized to find a dozen or so of the wooly beasts grazing in our neighbours garden. So after finding out who owned them, we shoooo'd them back to their field. It's cold,but beautifully sunny day here. No snow in this corner of East Scotland, and a lot drier than the West,but still a bit chilly to work in the garden.

Packing our cases to go to Germany for a holiday and for the next week or so, we'll be re-visiting Frankfurt, Mainz (where we lived long ago) and the small towns along the Rhine & Mosel valleys.

Sounds nice. Enjoy your trip. Looks like we got the snow last night and today that is usually in the east or north.
 
Just had my yearly blood work drawn.. Flunked the BMI and the blood pressure criteria to get my discount on my insurance premium.. 136/86.. Of course I had just gotten off the highway, and the drive in was pretty slick and icy. I've already decided that they can keep their discount.. it's never gonna happen.
 

meet with a world war two veteran and set up an interview for a piece I am working on for the local paper........brought in wood and if the weather doesn't break soon will need more.....tonight I have a board of review meeting.....the wife she had jury duty :)
 
Not on my agenda; but my car wouldn't start today, so I have just had a new battery fitted.
the man was quite impressed; my battery had lasted nearly 8 years.....so I don't begrudge it at all!
 
Fingers crossed for jujube!

Done cleaning the Dark House for another four weeks. Yay. Hard to see the dust when it's dark!

Wow...eight years on a battery. No wonder the mechanic was impressed.
 
Today I was at the hospital for a procedure with a consultant ...gotta return on the 18th for yet another MRI scan.. ..that's 4 days before my back surgery..I've seen inside more hospitals in the last 3 months than I have in my whole life I think and more to come..


Jujube...I hope your news is from the hospital is much better than you're expecting.

ironically I have to take my o/h to the eye hospital tomorrow. he's never needed specs, but lately he's been having trouble seeing at night and reading small print...so he had his eyes tested and he's slightly shprt-sighted..and they prescribed lenses for him but they discovered he has a burned retina in his right eye, so he's been referred to the specialist tomorrow..and they've said that he has to have someone drive him because he won't be able to see to drive himself after they put drops in his eyes..
 
Holly, I'm sure you're very tired of hospitals by now.

I've had my eyes dilated before and you just can't see properly afterwards. As I recall sunglasses would be a good idea.
 
Oh dear, poor Holly.
i hate hospitals....you must be getting really fed up of them.
hope jujube got on ok.
 
Today we had a bunch of icy sleet that made the roads a virtual skating rink. I have some rather large cracks in my walls so I called my friendly local handyman who came to take a look. He said the cracking was caused by 1) extreme cold weather and 2) settling of the house. Since this place is only 7 years old, I wasn't expecting cracks this soon. He's going to get up into the attic to see what's going on up there that might be a factor. I'm nervous about the potential cost of this project.

Jujube, hope your news about your eyes is not too negative. I'll be thinking of you and hoping all goes well.

QS - When it comes to health, we can only do the best we can and hope that we got great DNA from our parents. My BP always goes up when I go to the doctor which he calls "white coat syndrome" and it's very common - so he also takes BP at the end of the appointment and it usually has gone down. If your insurance has such rigorous standards regarding their premium discount, maybe they need to take some business management courses.
 
Good news Jujube!

Going to the gym this morning. Hoping bathroom will be done when I get back. Husband had a terrible time figuring out why the new sink leaked but it's sorted now. He has cupboard, loo roll holder, splash back tiles, and caulking to do. Then I can touch up the paint and also paint the door.
 
Good news jujube... :)


Sunny start again today, very blue skies at just past 8am..and forecast is for it to get warmer..I'm due back to work tomorrow.. but I'm only doing the odd day until my surgery so hopefully with the help of the PK's my back will hold up until then..
 
Good morning, kids.

Jujube, pretty good news. Here's hoping...:)

Ameriscot, still no new words? LOL I bet you'll be glad when that project is done!

Holly, goodness! You've certainly had your share. Your surgery is when? And how long will the recovery period be? As for your husband's eye appointment, yes, sunglasses help and the distorted vision shouldn't last more than a few hours. Those eye drops dilate the eyes letting in more light, which is why sunglasses help.

A big, big house today. I always feel like I should leave a trail of cookie crumbs so that I can find my way back out when I'm done. As it is, I turn on the lights in every room when I get there, then turn the lights out as I finish and leave the room.

It's going to be 70F here today, before a big crash in temps tomorrow afternoon. It's spring in Georgia...one day all but tropical and the next a deep freeze. It gets old fast!
 
Georgia, no new words. I know them all! Nearly done now.

Sunny today. Snow has nearly all melted even though we really got dumped on yesterday. Early evening we had lots of hail.

Snapped this one with my phone when I went to the bus stop this morning.

Georgia I hope you managed to get that great big house done ok, and I hope you get paid loads for doing it...I personally would run a mile from cleaning someone else's house LOL..but I know you love it..


Nice picture AS..I wish I had a view like that at the bus stop .. :D

This morning I took hubs to the hospital we were in there 2 hours, and as you predicted he was given first an anaesthetic then they dilated his eyes with the eye drops , and his vision was very blurred when he came out, he could only just make out the shape of my car LOL..so it's a good thing he didn't go by himself as he wanted.

I dropped him off home then went off to the hairdresser and had my hair cut and blow dried ready to go back to work tomorrow. I'm working tomorrow and saturday this week then ot again until next Wednesday.

Georgia thanks for asking..I have another MRI scan to get week after next then my back surgery is on the 23rd and so I'll be out of action for a couple of weeks. I'm hoping just a week but I've had this done before and it took a couple of weeks to settle down for me to be able to become mobile enough to work
 
AS - I really like the picture you shared; you are lucky to live so near to water.

Holly - I hope all goes well for you at work - I always get a little bit claustrophobic in the MRI machine but each time it gets a little bit less.

Still very icy here and we are due to get 6 - 8 inches of snow tomorrow - everyone here in our area is complaining with a capital C.
