2008 and I had angina, an angiogram showed three blocked arteries, they found a forth blocked artery when they put the stents in and I ended up with four stents, in 2016 I had a mild heart attack, an angiogram showed a blocked artery and they put a fith stent in, I did cardiac rehab afterwards and have been on medication since.

I'm okay apart from an enlarged aorta and a leaking valve. Told not to climb hills by the cardiologist .
I don't know any hills by the cardiologist !

Talking of hospitals reminds me that yesterday I got a cancellation for an appointment I never had in the first place.
NHS Highland are also shutting down one surgery in a large village here and moving it to the local hospital 10 miles away. Bus service particularly in tourist season is impossible so if you do not drive you are just supposed to die quietly and not bother them.

It's finding the players in the shops that is the problem .

I have got a video player, but I need to find someone who can un-jam a video cassette that is stuck in there.

I've just had a haircut.

I look handsome now.

Oh yes!

I am listening to "Any Questions?" . Why do people now say "speaks to" instead of "talk about".

How on earth is the Leeds v Arsenal going ahead? All the other Saturday Premiership games have been postponed because of covid cases but the fact that these 2 sides are able to field a full team doesn't mean that they should! I mean, gathering people together in a stadium while omicron is running amok, what could possibly go wrong?

Do you not have any padded cycling gloves? Or is the padding in the wrong place?

They don't really seem to help much but there again all my cycling gloves are basically worn threadbare and don't have much padding left.

Grey, mild and still here chez Casa Reynard.

Have spent the morning doing general puttering about. No further sign of Ratty after I whapped him with a broom last night, but I shall be setting some traps later.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

A question for @Reynard and any other cat staff.

Is it usual for male cats to acquire scruffy "trousers/fur" on their back legs? Bob's fur in those areas seems to be not as fluffy as it used to be.

Just back from my morning perambulations. Another nice morning. I went a bit further again today. I find my hands are starting to blister from the crutches. The physio at the hospital had suggested goalkeeper gloves to protect my hands so might buy a pair.

Maybe you can go in goal for the local team as well.

Been for morning walk, had lunch, now chilling with radio and a book

 

[Oldhippy]

Ridiculous amounts of dog sh*t on the Crab and Winkle Way today. Many dog owners also seem to think putting the sh*t in a bag it is ok to throw in a hedge or leave on the side of the path!

Nice luncheon of a piece of pork pie, some bread and butter with the last of the brie, a peach, a pear and a tangerine and two

We have now got thick fog and the gritting lorry has just gone past. Freezing fog is about the worst kind.
There a couple of cars parked here belonging to people who do not live here. Saw a couple of neighbours having an animated conversation regarding the evils of such people as they were having difficulty parking.
