Things can only get better

Ah, like Morrison's wonky vegetables -which I love.

I have been to various medical appointments this week including 2 long MRI scans with headphones and its been 80's music all the way. 

The prospect of an MRI scan has always filled me with dread - the feeling of claustrophobia.  Eighties music would be the last straw. Can you take your own choice of music?

Not sure as I was totally unprepared. I was in the scanner for just short of an hour - yes not good for claustrophobics. I'm not but did struggle every now and then with the flight instinct (not because if the music lol). You can ask your GP for medication if you need it.

Mr SA has had lots of MRI scans on his brain and has to wear a helmet too which he hates. He’s never been offered music though. I’m claustrophobic I’d hate it.

The operator did say the new machines are much brighter and have a larger tube than older ones but it still felt very closed in to me. I had a mask/frame over my face though and another on my chest so I don't think those help. I tthought music was standard, it wasn't loud as they also talk to you through the headphones but it was quite soothing. 

Poor Mr SA he must get fed up with the messing. I've had a bit of invasive stuff recently plus these scans and am pretty much a pin cushion from needles and will be glad when they're finished.

Fingers crossed everything is ok for you warby. Mr SA was having scans every other month at one time now it’s just if they’re concerned. He’s been in remission for 8 years now, not bad for someone who was given less than 2 months to live.

Can’t believe the queues for the park across the road’s firework display 😱 Never seen so many people. At a cost of £5 each they must be raking it in. To be fair it’s a good display and there are tents with mulled wine, hot drinks, hot dogs, etc. Took the kids a couple of times when they were young. Prefer to watch it from my window for free and in the warm though 😆

DD has gone to a friends house to help her with her kids and fireworks. She was looking for her wellies in the cupboard under the stairs. She couldn’t find them so I asked her when she last saw them - 3 years ago apparently 🙄

View of the park’s display from the comfort of my bedroom window seat. Our road is like a giant car park at the minute. Fortunately the house across the road doesn’t have a car but if she did she’d be stuffed for getting out thanks to inconsiderate parking.

Morning, happy Sunday.

The oddbox is here, apparently it arrived just before 10pm. I went to bed shortly before so only just missed it. I’ll post a photo before I dismantle it. There’s quite a bit in it but not sure if I think it’s worth £12.99. I’m pretty certain I’d pay less in Lidl. This one was half price as it’s my first one. I wouldn’t bother with fruit again, I’d go for all veg. There’s a couple of apples and oranges and loads of golden kiwis. 

Veg wise:
butternut squash
bunched carrots 
potatoes
yellow pepper
spinach
cabbage
cucumber


There’s a leaflet telling you where it’s come from, what needs using first and where to store it. Also a recipe for sticky whole baked carrots that sounds nice. Their website has a lot of recipes too. Apparently the overnight delivery is to reduce emissions, I wondered if that was the case. I noticed not everything is from the UK. 

Today should be NSD 3/12. Not going far today, could do with tidying up the garden, it’s covered in leaves. Some things need moving into the greenhouse for winter.
