29th Dec Teus. So far a cold quiet dawn just one dove cooing.
I water assorted pot plants. going to be a hot day.
I redressed my right hand. Somehow I sort of accidentally slashed it with my fingernail and drew blood. The skin on the back of my hand is very thin and inelastic. I have to be very careful with band aids.
After  Vad is up and we are both fed I hang the washing out on the line to dry
Decided to mow more of the back garden before it heats up. I forgot about the tiny insects. They seem to want to get in my eyes.
I mow here and there. Lots of long grass all straw coloured now. Would burn easy in this weather,
Up and down I mow. Till I am tired and have done a respectable amount.
back indoor to rehydrate etc.
We have coffee/tea. Vad has a peach while  I have a chunk of Christmas cake
Followed eventually by a comfy nap. The amphetamine of the aged
Vad had a micro chicken thing for lunch. For me mushrooms on toast.
I got a sort of threatening letter from the clinic thsat Vad goes to. I was , it seems, tried in absentia and so  got a righteous warning.
Even though one of the nuses seemed to think Vad could drive back and forth even though her left shoulder had recemtly been replaced. This getting in/out the car hurt and walking with a walking aid wa very difficult ( one handed you see).  I protested and we got the operation wound dealt with by another nurse elsewhere.
The wound healed well.
It doesn't pay to be over 75 and disabled and answer back it seems.
