Good morning Mick and all GN's on a grey but dry morning in North Yorkshire. They had told us that it was going to be a hot day today but this morning altered that to mixed rain and cooler especially at the coast. Par for the way things are going here.
I had written most of the post and then it disappeared, so starting again!! Am really struggling today and all plans are off , so my hoped for trip to visit my first garden in the NGS is cancelled. Yesterday did not go as planned and all the panic and stress for nothing!
Awake very early and drove to dentist in good time. Receptionist asked if I had driven and I said yes and she said she would have to tell the dentist as they had planned to treat me and use gas and air. Previously I would have a check up and then have treatment usually the following week or fortnight, so wasnt expecting that. The last time I had been was quite some weeks ago, so didnt think that counted as the checkup. So very uptight, but went into see new dentist . She said she would have a look anyway which she did.
I had taken a small cushion for their chair as my back was so bad. The nurse who knew me asked if my back was no better and I replied that having had my cataract done and having to lie flat for it had made things worse. The dentist immediately stopped looking at my teeth and asked when I had had this done. I told her it was only local anaestetic , but she said that she could not use gas and air for 6 months after that, because if there was a little hole left anywhere then the gas could get into it and cause major problems.
It was , of course, a good job I had told them but that meant it had to stop there, and all the effort and anxiety had been for nothing!! I had never heard of this and as my prescriptions had not altered at all , it never occurred that it could be a problem. I had psyched myself up to cope with it and all for nothing. I didnt know whether to punch a cushion, cry or shout some very anglo saxon words. Non of which I did of course, but needed a strong coffee to calm me down. Then yesterday evening couldnt find the remote control and in looking for it knocked a whole load of paperwork that was sorted over. Not my day!! (Still cannot find the control!)
I had decided that today I would get up early and go off to see a garden and was looking forward to it. No chance! Probably due to all the stress yesterday, but am really struggling to even move about, so all plans are off! I am aching all over, not allowed to swim yet, and wish I could go to the garden as planned, but realistically it would be stupid. I would just waste the petrol as there is no way I could walk round a big garden today, and it would be very frustrating.
So plans diminished to getting the Yorkshire Post, hoping that I shall improve a bit later. Think it is going to be one of those days, so will have to be something out of the freezer for dinner, as no doubt in the mood I am in, even if I managed to cook something I would probably burn it!
The dandelions I had planned to dig out are still there looking at me. Oh well, might go to the dizzying heights of meeting a friend for coffee and hope that tomorrow will be better.

Hoping everyone has a good day, and your plans work out. Dont think you will see me in the marathons tomorrow!! Wonder if we could get a special discount for a little cruise with Fred Olsen for GN's? Just imagine a whole ship full of GN's wow!!
