Month: March 2021

Mal walked Ellie and later Rhys came over to take me to the Health Centre. 101 questions first, measuring my legs, moving them around etc etc. The doc decided it was unlikely DVT and came to the conclusion it was muscular skeletal and far better to see a proper physiotherapist. I have a phone call consultation next week from Deal hospital.  Apart from that they had little advice, so I will have to see if I can start getting a little more mobile in the meantime. I am sure they hope giving it a week maybe it will go away!

I have been watching Hairy Bikers on Route 66. Geography has never been my strong point , maybe because I disliked the teacher, the only detention I ever had. I threw someone’s book out of an upstairs window and she happened to be underneath…….long story!  This programme is really informative on the US. It almost makes you want to go.

We had a Sainsburys delivery in the evening, obviously I can’t drive.

I decided it was time to call the docs. Their paramedic would phone me before 5pm. Meanwhile Mal walked Ellie and then down to his new allotment.

The paramedic called me at 4pm. He said he can’t risk it  being a blood clot although he doesn’t think it is  so I have to go to Sandwich Medical Centre tomorrow. I can’t walk there, nor drive and Rhys has offered to take me.

One of the presents I bought Mal for his birthday was an art course in Margate. Today I received an email from KCC telling me the course has been cancelled and perhaps he would rather do an art course online! No he wouldn’t! Pointless. It took me so long to find the right course at the right time. Ah well. Back to square one.

Mal went to the allotments to start moving all his belongings to his new allotment. He now has two sheds to fill!

Ellie and I sat in the garden.

Resting my leg so Mal took over the dog walking and cooking the Sunday roast.

We watched a lot of football. Manchester United went out of the FA cup. Hammers were doing well but as Rhys was quick to message, they scored 5 goals and the final score was 3-3.  But my Spurs won which is good after their recent performances.

The roast was very good! I think Mal will have to cook more often.

An easy day as my leg pain came back  last night and I couldn’t put any weight on one leg so pain killers and rest it.

Mal did all the dog walking, cooking etc. We seemed to have got hooked on the horse racing, especially the free £50k bet! No, we didn’t win it, nor did Rhys. BUT having made small bets, we were £3.80 up by the end of the day…last of the big spenders.

We caught up with the first of Gardener’s World. Our potatoes are already in and the broad beans and of course we have masses of Rhubarb on its way. Our ground is far warmer than where Monty is at Longmeadow, so we are a bit ahead of him.

Mal had to collect his new contact lenses and so back to Deal. This seems the only excitement over the lockdowns. Trips to the opticians or the dentist!

A beautiful day but a cold wind.

Mal went to his new allotment but Caroline was still clearing out one of the sheds. He really doesn’t want to start work there until she has left and also empty his old allotment. But we will have to start moving with the planting there. We have broad beans and potatoes in mine and today we have eaten the first of the rhubarb.

How lovely to live in this caring community, where the coffee shops/cafes and also Ossie’s Fish and chip shop have offered  drinks and food to the many police officers who are on duty around Sandwich. They must be so cold standing around and most have come from a considerable distance, the divers for instance from Devon and Cornwall.

No chance of walking Ellie anywhere near home so we went to Ramsgate. Of course we had our usual coffee at Alison’s.

I arrived home and the postman had delivered a letter from Dover Dental Clinic with an appointment in July! Yes!! I don’t have to go back to Canterbury hospital but after two years I am going to the place my dentist originally intended.

Just for fun we had a couple of bets for Cheltenham. Well, we didn’t win the £300,000.

Well done to the restaurant who handed out 28 portions of paella this evening to the boys in blue.
