In hospital

I’m in my room on the ward now and waiting to get a line put in. I’m on a blood thinner which needs to be swapped over for another one which can be neutralised before my surgery on Monday.

One good thing is that I’m winthin distance of 2 Pokestops on PokemonGo from my room so I can play more easily while I’m here! I do think I’m going to be boried while I wait for my surgery so that’s going to be nice.

No idea when my surgery is going to be other than on Monday. It does sound hopeful that I’ll be first or at worset second due to the blood thinner they will be giving me here.

Harlee

My parents got a new cat in February – just before the first covid-19 lockdown luckerly!! She has settled in nicely and is getting on with my brothers two burmese cats too.

New cellphone

I got a new smartphone a few weeks ago and I’m still playing around with it; this post is really just a test post to make sure I cam post here feom my phone with zero problems more than anything else 😊 I’ve been to upgrade to a smartphone for ages but have been putting it off because I wanted to get a decent phone rather than one of the cheapest ones.

It’s been great so far, though some of the apps are annoying to use. And I don’t like typing out lots of text uaing the small keyboard, as I keep hitting the letter next to the letter I mean to hit!

Christmas Decorations :)

Some of the houses on my street have started putting up their Christmas decorations by now, though most will look a lot nicer when it’s dark of course and you can actually see the lights. One of the houses which was sold earlier this year has put really complicated, for my street, decorations up in one of their trees and they have even included the branches that hang over the footpath!

They’re detailed enough that I think that they’d be as interested in daylight as they will be after dark, as it would hard to make out some of the details when it’s night. I guess, depending on how their lights are of course. It’s still a bit too early to go around and have a look at the houses after dark, as I like leaving them until closer to Christmas in case I miss anyone who puts their decorations up later on in the month.


This is the first house’s decoration I’ve seen on my street, or in the local neighbor hood that is even remotely close to the Franklin Road Christmas lights, which I don’t mind given how much traffic they get every year! (I also think the pressure to keep up with the neighbors with those sorts of displays would be awful, not that I’m anywhere near the road which makes it a moot point 🙂 ).
