2 down, 3 to go

Friday night, chilaxin after a bath, thinking about how today has gone, and as usual in the Marsh household, it's been hectic! Where to start, ok, lets start at the beginning ...

So my appointment for round 2 was for 9.06am. Now why do hosppitals, or anyone, set a time for an appointment for such a random time as 9.06. We all know that things never start on time, and usually run late. Now a 9.06 start(?) means leaving plenty of time to travel round the M25 in rush hour, so we set off at just about 7.45. The plan if we are early is get breakfats somewhere as i haven't yet eaten due to my new tablet regime requiring at least an hour clear of food after taking them, and more worringly 2 hours clear of food before I take them. So they are the first thing I have when I get up. No surprise but the M25 was empty and we arrived in Guildford just after 8.20, so we had loads of time to kill. Now next to the hospitla is a 24hr Tesco, so breakfast was had there. Now unlike most large Tesco's, the one in Guildford does not have it's own cafe, it has a Costa instead. So spending nearly £10 on a breakfast roll and hot choc for me, and a tea for Sarah, we settle down for 10 mins before we drive the last 1/2 mile or so to the hospital. Here we have our first, and probably bets laugh of the day. From our seats we could see the car park, and then we saw him. On a mobility scooter, going past fast in the rain, is an old boy driving past. Rain mac on - check. Flat cap on - check. Ski googles on - check. Did I say ski googles, yes I did, and bright blue ones at that. They kept the rain from his eyes, either that or his brakes had failed as he flew past the window!

After breakfast and treatment it was time to come home and today we had no punctures or other mechanicals to slow us down. We had to get home quickly as Max was at the dentist today having a couple of teeth removed, ready for his brace. That went fine, no pain at all, for me anyway, Max of course had a bit of pain but he has recoevered enough to go to Air Cadets tonight.

We also had a surprise with the loft, the first Velux window has gone in, the loft hatch has been sealed, and a new one created, and finally all the floor joists have gone down and a couple of the floor boards. So things are continuing apace.

So what does the weekend have in store. Well nothing to do with treatment of loft for a start. We are having a clean break. Saturday, Jake, Alison and Garry's youngest, has a football cup final, which we try to go to. Then in the evening, we have Rachel and Stuart's wedding reception. I truly hope the weather stays good for them, as they deserve it. I am sure they will have a great day whatever, but it would be the icing on the cake. Sunday see's more football, Leisha has a game, then so does Max, and for once we can go to both games. I am looking forward to 2 good wins for them.

Then Monday it all kick's off again.
