Just heard...

On the radio, on the Steve wright factoids..that when a giraffe is born it is already 6ft !! Imagine giving birth to a 6ft baby!!!
Up quite early this morning because I had an appointment at the renal clinic. 4 months since my last one, yet it seems like only weeks ago. Quite a nice Doctor today, at least I could understand him, and he wrote beautifully with a fountain pen. That's something you don't see very often. beautiful white shirt with very expensive looking cuff links. He adjusted the medication a little, one injection that I do every two weeks when Vin reminds me! is to be increased to 30 from 20 wonder if that will change anything? I sometimes wonder at the efficacy of all these tablets and potions..how on earth did people manage years ago. Vin sat outside..I don;t let him in with me, he's too nosy...and he was saying that he was watching quite a few nurses walking round with not a great deal to do. I must admit, that most of the clinics that I go to there doesn't seem to be a shortage of nurses, no wonder the NHS costs a lot!
Anyhow, my appointment was for 12.20 and I was out by 1 o'clock so not too long a wait today. Seemed quite quiet actually. Since it was lunchtime, we went to the Aintree M&S and had toasted sandwiches..not a huge choice for veggies, so we both ended up with cheese and mushroom, and a bottle of water between us. £8 for that! God knows how people afford to eat out all the time.
Did a little bit of shopping after, and got a few things for tonight to go with the remainder of the pizza. Got some really nice new York style ground coffee..and an almond tray bake that will do us this afternoon and freeze. It is a gluten free one and really really yummy.
We are surrounded by Jans..we have one either side of us. One a Janet and one a janice, both have ginger cats. Jan on one side is moving soon to Southport, and her son is here from London helping her get organised with a big white van. her poor little cat will be going back to the rescue centre which is a real shame, we will miss her terribly, she is always in our garden in the sunshine, Ginger Thomas on the other side is going into a cattery soon for about ten days, while she goes on a Norway cruise. So it's all upheaval for the ginger cat community.
Tonight we are having:
The remaining pizza which was really nice. Mushroom pesto and a little emmenthal cheese,
A greek salad from M&S today
potato salad for moi and a pasta salad for both of us.
