Tootsies!

Today I had an extra appointment at the dressings clinic because the girl at the podiatry clinic on Wednesday didn't want it to be left till next week. So Vin rang up Netherton and got one for today at 1.15. That was the day then, by the time we had got up, breakfasted dressed and did some bits and bobs it was time for our coffee. The plan was to have that, then go there and have our lunch when we got back. 
Beautiful bright sunny day, so much s it was a case of putting sunglasses on or be dazzled. Got there on time and you generally don't have to wait long so was seen within a few minutes. Very nice girls too, two of them one regular and one must have been a trainee one although she wasn't young. Did the foot quickly and efficiently  and we were out by two. 
Vin left me in the car and he went over the road to the Iceland shop to get a few things. Jane had said they had a very nice Pizza Express goat's cheese pizza with pesto and tomatoes for a pound so he got two of those, also quite a few other things and he said he only spent about eight pounds or so.   Home for a quick lunch then a bit of computing for me and Vin did his jobs downstairs.
Little Jessie has been playing a bit today so when we went out she got into her basket then stopped there till we came home then she was all over her daddy!. He let her outside this morning in the sunshine, and she had a bit of a mooch in the garden, but came in after a few minutes out there, I think probably because he wasn't out there.

Postman Pat is coming for you Jess!

Storm Doris,

We were expecting storm Doris to hit us today, which it did this morning. Very heavy winds and pouring with rain. Altogether a horrible day but since we weren't going out anywhere it didn't matter too much. It was a day for hunkering down anyhow.  It has brightened up now, late afternoon and the sun is shining through the clouds.
Even little Jessie didn't bother going out today, too blowy for her really. Don't blame her.

 This is lovely Jane and our Jess, at Christmas when she was home,Great hairstyle. Jane I mean. 

Appointments!

Today was arranged around the appointment for the podiatry clinic. That was for two o'clock so we had a small coffee before went and didn't have lunch so we had a toastie when we came home. 
We got there early and parked up on level three and Vin went off to find a wheelchair because it is miles to walk.Off to podiatry and was seen pretty much straight away . Changed my antibiotics and thank goodness they are the capsule rather than the great big ones we were given last time. So Vin went off to take the prescription to the pharmacy and picked me up after that.  I had to go for a blood test before a renal appointment in March so he wheeled me up there. We expected  a queue but to our surprise there was no-one waiting!so did that immediately.  Great!!
Home then via the pharmacy where he went to pick up the tablets. 
Little Jessie was fast asleep in her basket, I don't think she had moved all the time we had been out.  She just loves that basket, plus it is next to Vin on the sofa which really makes her happy. 
Nothing on tomorrow so a nice quiet day for us I think, then out on Friday afternoon to the dressings clinic again.  Oh what a busy life we do lead.

Waiting!

Waiting in today for a delivery from Bullens with my health care products. No knowing what time they come, sometimes early morning, the last time it was four o'clock. It is now four thirty and no sign. 
Otherwise not much doing today, very quiet. Little Jessie is enjoying our company I think. We have had her twelve weeks now so is used to us and our routines now.

I  think she is hiding from him!

Out and About!

Up early this morning because I had a dressings appointment at Netherton clinic at 10.00.  The good thing about going there is that you know the time instead of waiting sometimes for the District nurses to come. Mind you they were wonderful when they came. 
So it was get going quite quickly and off there. The sun was shining when we woke up, but it was beginning to cloud over, and now later afternoon it is very rainy and grey and not a nice evening at all. 
The nurse at Netherton was efficient and capable and quite quick as well, so we were out in about half an hour.  We took ourselves off to M&S in Aintree.  It is ages since we have been there and it has changed a lot actually. There is now a big new Next store next to M&S and that has a Costa inside. So next time we go there we might try that instead.  The coffees we had in Marks were nice though, we both had Lattes. You pay for them though!
Little Jessie we left in her basket with the radio on for company, so she hears some noise.

Bits and Bobs..

Short and sweet today, nothing much happening. No post much and no phone calls apart from our Jane who rang up at lunchtime on her way to work, she is on a two till ten today so will probably ring up on her way home to see what the cat has done. Not a lot actually, she did poke her body outside briefly but soon ran back insidee. That happened yesterday too because she heard some seagulls squaking overhead. :) 
Bit of a grey day today but Vin did say it was a bit milder and the bulbs are beginning to show their little heads above the soil. Hope it won't be too long baefore the daffs are out, I love the Spring flowers, they are such a splash of colour after the dull grey Winter, although it has to be said we have had a very mid Winter, no snow here at all and only a bit of frost really. 

We buy the little tiny ones, tete-a tete usually which are just a bit bigger than the pot or barrel.

Tyres!!

Nothing much doing here today. We did go out yesterday so didn't today. Well it is half term so we tend not to bother so much. 
Vin went off to Formby this morning to see about two new tyres for his car, they didn't have any in stock so he needs to order them which he will do when he is ready. He also went to Tesco to get some cat things, food and litter, she aint cheap this Jessie!! Then he went for petrol which I always buy , well the car is used an awful lot for taking me to appointments, so that's fair.
Lovely Brie and cranberry toastie for lunch and sausage rolls for tea..the meatless variety of course. 
Vin has just come up to tell me we have won on the lottery!! On Saturday we got a lucky dip with two numbers, so he opted for last night, and on that lucky dip we had three numbers which has netted him £25, About time too!!
