Bed made. Vacuuming done. Dishes cleaned and put away. Dusting done. Now I have sod all to do for the rest of the day. :laugh:
Wash the windows, make the dinner, then the tea. Sort out the kitchen cupboards, defrost the fridge. Make a shopping list, once you make a start on the cupboards. Find next Sundays lamb roast in a nearby field.

Started young, and still going.

Barnet,
A longish dog walk done, mostly in the rain. So myself and a damp dog are in the Mitre for a pint or three before I go home to watch the football and cycling on the telly box.
This evening will be a BBCSounds one, catching up on some R4 stuff. Until Peaky Blinders comes on that is.

G'day all... Spinning done while listening to Tony Blackburn's Golden hour nice bunch of 60's and 70's songs. Was going to have a little walk with 🐶 but it started to rain, maybe later then.


Feeling better today, been grumpy of late and more than a little scared, as my UTI/Sepsis from a few weeks back has been diagnosed as a ureter blockage caused by a kidney stone - operation to remove is booked for next Friday.

Saw the CT scan yesterday and the left kidney is literally 3 times the size of the right one due to fluid 'backing up'.

A horrible sight!

Superb service from the NHS btw. ❤️


I hope that goes well for you next Friday, I feel your pain I've had 3 bouts of Kidney stones, I could write a book about them. First one passed naturally while in hospital, second one removed by Lithotripsy, last one 5 years ago removed by laser and 2 operations.

Did you have a temporary stent fitted?

Consultant said It would be painful for a while plus I might need urgent loo visits. For which I am now the proud owner of a portable pee bottle. ☹️

Yes, stent done under general anaesthetic by a female surgeon :ohmy:. Your consultant is right it is a bit uncomfortable but not too painful, and loo visits every 30 minutes which for me was the worst thing especially when I had an hours drive to work :sad:. Stent kept in for 6 weeks and then another op with laser treatment.

Edit...Just noticed your other thread :okay:
