Feels like a long week since the scan on Monday! Pefectly fine experience if you don't mind drinking a litre of luke warm water in the half hour before having dye pumped ibto your system. Only one more day until I see Dr Tillett with results...
I've been a bit up and down this week with some discomfort and not much energy. The chimney sweep came on Wednesday, and afterwards Geoff was introduced to the delights of spring cleaning the sitting room, with him doing the heavy work and me directing and waving a duster.
We had some old NZ friends to visit on Thursday, which was lovely. They looked after us so well when we spent 3 months there in 2008; it was a joy to see them here. Sadly, very unusually for a food devotee, I had to bail on dinner at the Kings Arms as I felt nauseous. I think it was triggered by someone there wearing a strong scent! Such a waste! Still we had a great time catching up
This weekend has been very quiet unlike the last one which was full of activity. Phil visited on Thursday overnight. So good to have her company especially with the busy end of term schedule of tap exam, school play, discos, parents' evening, visit to Barney's new school etc. Saturday, Geoff and I had a Wiltshire Historic Churches visit to Salisbury Cathedral, in particular to the library where we had a guided tour. Until recently NO-ONE was allowed in so Geoff has been itching for years to get in, ever since he asked and was denied entry!
While we were in Salisbury, Simon was cycling down from London for the weekend. He is so good and energetic, helping sort out my washing line and painting the front gate. And of course, we were able to find out more about the wedding plans.
Saturday night I was fine and enjoyed my meal at the Kings Arms.
Sunday morning Chrissie and Beth arrived for the day. He and Geoff set to work to mend two of our water butts, which seem to have a very fragile hold on their job of water retention, regularly springing holes. The rabbits and slugs have devoured many of poor Geoff's veggies, but we have a very good crop of blackcurrants, gooseberries and rhubarb, which C& B set to work to harvest (prickly and/ or fiddly work!) It's much nicer to catch up on news in person. They all seem very well and happy.
