After saying the blogs on my page all seem to have passed away, Brit Girl In USA has reappeared!  And I'm going to steal her idea ( magpie in my former trade) of recalling 'wots occurred'...

So here's a quick recap of the major events and changes in the past 6 months or so, to catch you up......but just headlines and I will follow-up with the back story to many of them over the next few weeks.

• I turned 60 this July..
• We celebrated our 8th wedding Anniversary this August..
• I retired from teaching...
• We visited wells Next To Sea...
• Found out I had Very High Blood Pressure!!
• I have re-read David Edison...am reading at least 3 genres at present!!
• I am completed a walking half marathon and a 10km run on The Isle Of Coll...
• I am learning to cook and eat in a much healthier way...
• I am addicted to Twitter...
• I have taken 2 pairs of grandchildren camping...not sure if that will happen again!!
• I have visited two wonderful, and very different, Scottish Islands...

I will expand on most of these in the coming weeks....

Day of hospitals & Doctors & laziness...

Up and about early today - appointment at 'The Rivers' hospital in Sawbridgeworth...a private establishment & one can see why people with dosh use them (good old NHS paying for me...). Lovely green driveway complete with a BEAUTY of a green woodpecker watching me as I arrived...appointment at 8.15 ... only me there - no lights, dr, nurse, other worried patients...peace:). Anyway examined, in places I don't wish to talk about & going back Friday for ultrasound & Monday for consultant again... Right now (7.45 pm) I'm at the doctors waiting for the results of my wee, x-ray & blood tests from 2 weeks ago - stand by to get told off for cholesterol at the very least :)
