Tootsie Time!

If it is Monday it is Tootsies to be done at the Podiatry clinic in Aintree.  Got there on time because we were listening to the opmaster Quiz on Radio two which we like. Then I went in while he parked the car. 
To be honest I was really glad to get the dressing off because it had been buzzing like mad, most of the weekend. There is a little motor which goes into my side pocket, and if it buzzes it means there is a leak in the dressing. Sometimes it works if you just rub the place around the dressing where you think it is leaking from, but it just wasn't playing ball at all on this weekend. So we often ended up switching it off.  Anyway she changed the dressing and put a thinner one one, and so far touch wood that is working very well.
Following the appointment we went off to the Aintree retail park and got a Costa. Really quiet in there which is unusual because they are often very busy. We both had flat whites which are nice because we can't make those at home on the Tassimo machine.  Still don't know how they are made actually. 
Vin got his driving licence back today which was really quick. He says he can drive an electric bike, a tractor and an electric quad bike! Can't see him on a tractor any time soon. 
When we got homelittle jessie was at the front door. She doesn't do that very often so she must had  been peckish. She was miaowing too which is nice. Vin let her out for a bit while the sun was shining but she came in again quite quickly. 

Tootsie Day!

Today really revolved around the fot appointment at podiatry in Aintree. It was at 2.00 so our morning was changed. Instead of having our mid morning coffee we went to our lunch a bit earlier. For me it was the usual "yogit"  and crisps and Vin had a cheese sandwich with his vegan cheese. 
Got to our appointment n time, and apparently after removing the Picu pack the foot is healing very nicely now. Still a bit to go but it doesn't look so red any more, and Jo is quite pleased with it. 
Been quite sunny this morning but has gone a lot cooler now. In fact I have just put the heater on in here!! I notice that next doors have clouds of steam  coming from their boiler so they must have their heating on! 
Little Jessie as usual hasn't moved very much if at all. Apparently she did wake her Daddy up early this morning and he went down to feed her. I think he quite enjoys the cup of tea that goes with it though :) When we came back from podiatry  she just about raised a sleepy eye to have a look. 

In today Out Tomorrow !

Didn't go out today because we are out tomorrow at the podiatry clinic at Aintree.  It is an afternoon appointment so at least we don't have to get up with the larks which suits us both nicely.
Don't like this typeset because it is too small for me but for some reason the print size will not operate today. What a pain!.
Everything looked so small. Now it has decided to work properly I have absolutely no idea why I haven't pressed anything unusual. Hmmm Technology!
Vin got a letter this morning about the Smart meter but we already had that fuss in february when we waited in all day for them to come and fit one, and after around five minutes they said that they coudn't get a line so couldn't do it.  ! He went to phone them this morning and explained that had happened so she took us off the list for at least a year until the technology was better!
He also got a letter about his driving licence which needed a new photograph, and renewing. He could do that online which is good and he did that on his netbook. That is working really well now (touch wood) as we say. 
Little Jessie woke him up quite early and get a cup of tea. He brought that back upstairs but I was asleep, yesterday I was awake for ages waiting for him to come back but he didn't! 

Upstairs or down? Not quite sure.
Quite sunny in the back garden today, gets fairly warm when the sun comes round in the afternoon. Vin has said it is the green bin on Monday so he's gone out to pull anything up that has grown in all of the rain we have had.

No idea why all of these have uploaded, it should have only been the last one!!!

Rainy and Wet!

Horrible day today, very wet and rainy, so we didn't go out anywhere. I would hate to be on holiday in Angelsey in this weather, stuck in some grotty holiday let . Mind you in those days we never had enough money to stay anywhere nice, it would be a bit different 
not that the weather helps. 
Jane is just ringing up, having finished her shift and is on her way home, just gone into the shops to get something for her dinner! She's gone posh now she lives in Didsbury, it was always tea in our house.
Hope there is something on the television tonight, it is terrible at the moment. A huge amount of sport which is of no interest to us. Once the Wimbledon has finished that's it, it is generally the holiday season so they tend not to put anything decent on. You end up watching rubbish.
Little Jessie is tending to wake  her Daddy up very early, like half past five!  so he gets up to feed her and then she goes to sleep again. 

Tootsies!

Up and at em this morning off to podiatry, although not as early as Friday, that was a bit too early for both of us. Today the appointment was for 11.30 so was nicely doable for getting there and back and have time for our coffee before lunch. Great! 
It was mainly to redo the sealed dressing on the foot which seems to be doing its job very well ads everybody says that the wound is closing up nicely. Just a matter of keeping on going till it is done .
I wonder if our Jane has got up and going , she had been on nights the night before yesterday so was asleep most of yesterday but was off today also. depends how much sleep she got  after her nights and how tired she is.  She needs to get her hair cut really but can't get round to it somehow. 
Little Jessie woke her Daddy up fairly early and he went off to feed her, but  then left him alone. She was asleep in her basket when we went out this morning and was still there when we came back.  We were listening to the radio when we were going to Aintree, and there was a man on who said that he had a British Blue, and it caused havoc all night and slept all day. Sounds like par for the course. 

Our version, looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. 

In Today Out Tomorrow!

 In today mainly because we are out tomorrow at an appointment in Aintree, the second for the week. It is my one with Mr Butcher to have the stitches removed and the wound etc., looked at. What fun! 
The tube is still attached so that is ok, hope it is doing its job, it seemed to be working when she looked at it on Monday. 
Jane rang up at lunchtime she had been on her way to Greggs to get something but they didn't have anything, so was going to get a Costa on her way back and get something when she was on her way home I think. 
Vin has just come in and said that he was texting a competition outside but the cold had made him go to the bathroom, not really what you expect for the middle of summer. I noticed on FB that the temp in Australia is the same, and it is their Winter. Crazy world. 
Jessie has hardly shown her face really, but Vin did say that Alex had said that she slept a lot. Well that is true she does. Most of the day in fact.  The doorbell went when we were having our lunch and it was the meter man to read the meter, and she belted upstairs.  She soon came down for a bit of reassurance from Vin though. 
He is quite upset today because Michelle, the girl in the end house has lost her cat. It has been missing for two days now apparently, so he is on the lookout. Hope it isn't too far from home and turns up. When our Rusty went off she was missing for  a month and it was terrible. We put notices up all over the village, everywhere we could think of, and eventually after a very long month and absolutely terrible weather, because it was February  She was incredibly thin when she came back, she had been spotted in one of the big houses over the line in their garden and ran to Vin when he was contacted and went over. It was lovely to get her back.
I don't think this one would go missing, she is way too timid and rarely goes even to the end of our small garden. Aaah!

Having a look but that's all. 

Here we Are Again!

Back on the blog, couldn't wake myself up enough yesterday to get going , let alone do the blog. never mind, better late than never. 
 Something has made me incredibly sleepy, Vin thinks it is the antibiotics that I was given on Friday. Probably is too, just have to wait to get used to them. 
Friday went for the podiatry appointment at Aintree, and was ages waiting, mostly for the doctor to get round to see the foot. In the end they decided to put a dressing on that is called negative therapy, and consists of a vacuum pack dressing which goes on the wound, and is attached to a tube which goes up the leg and into a meter thingy which goes into the pocket and keeps going all day and night. It doesn't bother me at all, in fact I can't hear it.
Monday I had to return for a redressing and it is looking better even after a few days so the therapy must be working!.  We did manage a nice coffee out on Monday at the Costa in Aintree retail park, it was quite busy but there is always somewhere to be seated. We had skinny lattes each which were lovely but I think next time I will have a smaller one, the medium is a bit big nowadays.
The weather is really weird at the moment, no way of knowing what it is going to do. At the moment it is really overcast but hasn't rained..yet! Looks af it will though. 
Little Jessie seems to have got herself into a fair little routine in the mornings. She thinks it is fun to wake her Daddy up at around half past five in the morning, so he goes down and feeds her. Then you don't see much of her for the rest of the day because she is asleep in her basket in the front room all the time. I suppose it is nice and quiet in there and she is undisturbed. 

What a great life!!
