Good morning all from a wet Glasgow, its also quite cool.
I planned to get up early, as need to phone my GP, but I'm very weary today, so a bit late getting up!
It looks as if I have cellulitis in my leg, I've had it before and that's not good for someone who has all my health problems.
It may involve antibiotics, which means I can't have my RA injections and my forthcoming osteoporosis infusion. The last time it happened, I was in Rome and my angiogram had to be cancelled when I got home. Oh bu**eration!!!!!!
Yesterday, we did manage to get out composter and all those other things, we didn't actually need!!
A quick visit to Asda was required prior to that, where I also wanted to pick up a gooseberry bush. The one I got for £1.75 a few years ago is flourishing, so cheapskate that I am, I thought I wouldn't bother with the garden centre and pick up another one there.
There was a huge display outside, so because I'm vertically challenged, I asked DH to pick one. Inside we trotted and had the usual palaver of DH blocking everyone's way, while I got a self scanner handset. Its safer for me to do that Covidwise and safer for footering DH, who I always want to divorce at the checkout!
Thinking that it would be a sensible idea to train show DH how to use the self scanner, was not the best of ideas. How hard is it to point a gun at something someone???
He showed me the scan and instead of gooseberry it said GRAPE VINE!!!
As he tried to unscan it, and I worked out how to take it back outside and replace it, without being stopped for shoplifting, my phone rang, I dropped my walking stick, DH was oblivious to the fact that I couldn't answer the phone, whilst holding a blooming vine bush and wearing a mask, so a few expletives were aimed in the direction of he, who shall remain nameless.
It was the blind man, ( there's a joke in there somewhere) with the quote for the conservatory blinds. Taken aback at the quote, I was delighted to hear , it was half the price we had anticipated!!
I never got the gooseberry bush in the end, there were none! To top it all, I was selected for a random search of my trolley at the self scan checkout. My heart was in my mouth, not because I'm a shoplifter, but because I had left DH in charge of the scanner, as part of his induction course! ?
Having mislaid two pairs of black leggings, (I'm sure DH has them, he has previous, but denies everything), I ran in to Matalan to pick up a pair and came out into the hot sunshine, carrying a faux fur coat( which I certainly don't need), reduced to £12!!!!
On getting back to the car, where DH was impatiently waiting, I noticed that the disabled space next to ours was blocked by a large, flat bed trolley. Who would be so thoughtless? I know who, MrMDoll. When he asked earlier, what he should to with it, I said Over there at B&M. You must remember he is in denial, about his poor hearing and had misheard. ?
I stomped off, foolishly pushing the trolley to the store, to make a point, but had to stop to get my breath back, only to here a voice shouting, What on earth are you doing?
It was my DIL!! She was shocked when she saw me struggling. I explained that it was all her fault, as she had tested DH's hearing and said it was fine!
That was two years ago, said she. He needs another test!
Due to me shielding and my son being difficult, she hasn't really seen me unwell, so it was maybe fortuitous.
She messaged later to say, she will bring Dollie down today after school closes for the last time for the holidays. I'm so excited!!
My wee Dollie has had an exceptional report card, all that Zooming during lockdown has paid off. I have been saving the I Need a New Bum book for this occasion! I can't wait to see her. #very proud gran and DH can't wait to see his wee pal.
I haven't read the posts yet, I'm killing time until the surgery opens, but will catch up later.
Sending my usual good wishes to all, but especially to those in sick bay.
Take care everyone, our numbers here are rising dramatically, I can see myself stuck back at home again.
