Phew finished!

Finally finished my letter to john and Ann this morning. this has been an ongoing project since June really, with snippets of information about what is going on here in Blighty. Quite a lot to write about, with the Jubilee celebrations (seems a long time ago now!) the olympics and other matters of a family nature. i tend to write my letters in bits and pieces a little here and a little there till it gets done. i sent two Hamish McBeth books as well as the letter, and vin packaged them in a padded envelope and posted them this afternoon. £8!!!! for a letter and two books!! Ah well worth it I hope. Phone call from Jane this morning on her way to work. She said she had a horrible day yesterday because she had to deal with some nasty people. She was on the wheelchair line which deals with the tickets for people in wheelchairs or ambulant, on crutches and might need a wheelchair to get them to the venue. A woman was on who was really nasty, and demanded two carers tickets as well as the wheelchair ticket. Her son was on crutches and didn't need the w/chair space so Jane pointed out that the spaces were for people who were in w/chairs all the time. They get one carer ticket free, and this woman wanted two, so had got very annoyed. very complicated business. She wanted the manager who came on and said exactly what Jane had said. Another phone call from Aintree this afternoon from the right clinic this time. It was to arrange an endoscopy appointment for the 14th August, and had been requested by the Consultant that I haven't yet had an appointment to see. All very strange. So, I have a blood test in the morning over the road, and the endoscopy in the afternoon. An appointment at the eye clinic the following day which I might re-arrange. What a month! good job we don't live in the States. Warming a bit to Andy Murray..turns out he has a border terrier called...RUSTY..so the lad can't be too bad. our Rusty was up and about a tad early this morning. About five o'clock! Bit too early that is Rusty. Vin said he got up to the bathroom and she followed him, so he went and fed her, then she came back into the bedroom. Jumped up on the bedroom windowsill and was running so fast she slid off the end and on the floor!! Aaaah. Sounded like something from a Tom and jerry film. Vin went out very quickly to Formby this morning to get his new glasses. he had a pair of good frames reglazednow he is very smart..not that he wasn't before! Tonight we are having: macaroni cheese with a few veggies A bit of garlic bread for Vibn.
