Apple picking

 Lots of apples to pick this year. We have tried to wrap them and preserve them in a cool place in previous years when we had too many. But this year we have a new small freezer so we are cooking them until slightly soft then either blitzing them up or leaving them as they are. When cool putting them into containers and freezing.

Masquerade

 Each to their own but I honestly fail to see why anyone would still wear a mask. I had to wear one all the time in hospital, which is the most likely place to get Covid. But to see people walking down the street in the open air wearing a mask makes me realise that the utterly dreadful media in this country have a lot to answer for.

The BBC is surely discredited in everything it now does. Their biased news is now shown to be be scaremongering and untruthful. Defund now! 

Soon be Christmas

September already. The garden is beginning to go over into Autumn, some flowers are finishing. But whilst we seem to have done poorly with the green beans, the apple trees are totally full of ripening fruit.

I don't seem to have had to cut the lawn much this year, perhaps I am just getting lazy.

Operation complete

I was phoned on Friday that my operation time was changed. Instead of coming to the hospital at 12.00 could I be there at 8.00? Of course!

I was there is plenty of time, along with a few others. As it turned out I was the third of three to be operated on that morning. The first chap went in at about 9.30 and was allowed to leave at 15.30. I didn't go the the theatre until 12.30...

The trouble then was that I had been allowed nothing much to drink since before midnight. So it meant that I was dehydrated, However I was eventually allowed home at 19.30. So only an hour more than the first chap but what a long exhausting day.

Cancellation of operation, when I tell everyone that...

 The hospital phoned to say that my operation on Monday was unfortunately cancelled. I didn't ask but I suspect that it was due to Covid or isolating due to someone in the operating team being pinged.

What an idiotic idea the Track and Trace is showing itself to be.

Also what a totally useless piece of tech the smart phone is proving to be. Quite simply the worst invention ever.

A grand day out

A trip to the hospital allowed us time to go to the shops in the morning.

To wear a mask or not to wear a mask? That is the question.

Not.

Desperate Den

 One of our three year old grandson's favourite things to do is making a den and playing transformers.

All well and good except I have to also fold myself up tightly into the same tiny space. The contortions to get into position are difficult enough but after an hour or more of being curled up, it takes much longer to extract myself.
