    Yes the bus after the covid test isn’t the best.
    I’m pleased the consultant seemed nice and on the case for you. I’ve found that during the telephone consultations the doctors seem to have more time and don’t seem as rushed as when in clinic....either that or I’m sub consciously more relaxed at home.

    I think it's a bit of both Milann, I've done surgical pre assessments over the phone  before and I find them much easier to do than in person,I don't know why because I don't actually like talking on the phone 😊

    Ooh lovely 5 days off 🥳 I’ve been better with the NSDs since I’ve been working from home. It will be a different story when I’m back in the office though.

    I am glad to hear that your throat issue didn't show up any nasties but you do need a diagnosis if there is one and at least they are carrying on checking. 

    Your walks with B always sound lovely, I think I need a dog, I love walking but a little companion would be great. 

    Enjoy your 5 days off .

    Yes, I'm glad your throat/oesophagus issue is being taken seriously OBL.

    Re v pale grey paint....I absolutely love the one we are currently having slapped on in most of our rooms. It's a Dul*x Trade colour called 'Rocksalt'. It is the littlest hint of pale grey & is making the bedrooms look light & airy with white ceilings & skirtings.
    Some of the darker greys really did look as though they'd be better for painting battleships.

    Enjoy your time off. It's good they are doing one that is better for finding out what it is that is causing it. x

    I was doing ok but lack of planning scuppered my efforts 😀

    I've been impressed by how thorough they are being but the consultant yesterday did say with my symptoms they have to rule out cancer 🙀so that's why they are taking it seriously, he also said it could be spasms in the muscles too 

    It is lovely to be able to go out with B I'm not sure I would walk as much if I didn't have her and she is really good company,I talk to her all the time .....poor dog 😂😂

    They had Rocksalt on the colour chart p,it looks nice but might be too pale, my living room can be quite cold looking so I've decided grey probably isn't a good idea. I was looking at some neutral colours today online but I'm just going to redo it in the paint I've got ,it's just scuffed in places so needs a freshen up 😊
