More gardening. Son #2 came over and we made good progress. At the end I made Knickerbocker Glories. I've got the kind of tiredness you only have after extreme hard work We removed the two large roots you see in the picture.

Which will then amusingly pull frre and go through your rear window.

You pull weeds upwards, so you use your spare wheel and rope over that.

Onto day 3 of man-flu since getting back from Belgium. I'm arguably a bit better than the previous days, but still far from 100%

Mrs Weeksy has the same but worse.... the boy seems fine apart from a minor bit of snotty.

Phone in sick and tell 'em you won't be coming into work.

Oh.

Oh.

I've been loosely working... but can't say i've been at 100%... (of even my less than 100% that is).

If i were a manual worker though, 100% i'd not be working now.

I think it started before we left to head to Belgium in honesty as both me and the wife were down with it when i got back from Belgium, so there's no way i could have infected her with it. I started feeling rough on the Sunday.

As far as i know @crust is doing OK.

Looking like another day off. Woke up yesterday to ice cold and pissing rain what was meant to be a crass cutting day. Might have got out late afternoon but had to do a mercy dash to the vet for a customer. Today woke up to snow what turned to ice. This was meant to be another grass cutting day as well as catch some of yesterdays. Sun is out now so may get something done in the afternoon.

Just another nice spring day

My wife got covid, then my son did but I have tested negative 3 times. Odd thing is I have felt a bit crap, but mainly just dog tired to the point of falling asleep at my desk and shiveringly cold? Weird!

What I have done today is 52 weeks sans alcohol.

I've been looking a prat today (quiet at the back)

Painting outside. With baseball cap for sun. Sunnies to stop eyes bleeding from white paint.
And headphones for Planet Rock.
Even sillier when I had orbital sander going with face mask.

Got some strange looks from passer by folk

Did a funeral visit with a gypsy family. Then took a funeral for a family to say farewell to the beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather of 98 years. He lived a full life and devoted it to his family. Fetched wife from work (she is at risk of redundancy because of cuts to school funding), found out who the new Bishop of Rochester is, my secular boss. Had dinner, preparing a compline service for tonight at 9pm. That is about enough for today I think.

Bought a new car for the missus. One day I may get one for myself.....

Kinda started yesterday with a visit to the fuckwit surgeon (he really is a cock womble of the highest order. I've met some god complex surgeons but even they have had a small amount of patient communication skills. This one had zero in hospital but I gave some leeway as it was soooo busy. Nope - he's just a sodding teddybear and deserves a smack!!)

Anyway - the reason he went from smiley happy (when talking about the xrays and surgery) to fuckwith central was because I dared ask questions!! The main one being that I wanted him to send me to a rehab centre like I went to for my shoulder. Not just for the knee rehab (can start weight bearing on 22 April - just as the resort closes and I have no where to go for treatment and no buses etc!) but also because using the crutches is massively causing issues for my new shoulder

He wouldn't listen at all - walked away from me three times whilst I was talking to him!!! Fucking fuckwit!!


Anyway - I came back and went to physio. I'd already text the physio about what happened so he knew to expect a blubbering mess!! He went to see the GP and sorted for the GP to complete the paperwork if I called the rehab place and got a place

Unfortunately, this morning the rehab place said the request had to come from the doctor, so I went to see the GP but also to get some meds for pain. Didn't see my GP but the intern gave me a prescription and the secretary said to email her and she's call the rehab centre

Took the prescription to the pharmacie only for the pharmacist to say I can't have ibuprofen because I'm still having the sodding anti coagulant injections (even though the fuckwith surgeon gave me anti inflammatory tablets when I came home from hospital!). So we had a big discussion as she wanted me to have tramadol. I said so many times that Tramadol doesn't work for me. Opiates don't work for me. What works is anti inflammatories and paracetamol (they don't take the pain away but it's better than nothing!).

The pharmacist was adamant that I must have had the 50 strength tramadol not the 100 (TBF, if Oramorph has zero effect, I don't think a 200 strength tramadol would work!! ). And it's analgesic, not opiate. And I should try it. I gave up arguing and took them

Googled - analgesic is just pain relief and yes, tramadol is an opiate!!


Anyway - I'm going to try one tonight and see. With a bit of luck she'll be right and for the first time, I'll have an opiate med that will work!

Crossing fingers on that - and that the doctors secretary manages to get me a place at the rehab centre I want to go to!!!

I had a tooth extracted.

I broke a tooth a while ago but it started hurting on Sunday. After trying to find an NHS dentist that would see me I phoned a private dentist yesterday evening and made an appointment for this morning. Dentist took one look at it and sait it needed to come outm Molar tooth at the back of the lower jaw, he had to drill it so it would come out in two halves. I'm now £144 poorer and my mouth still hurts
