    Get yourself on the waiting list Dusty. I think it'll be about a year. My mum ended up going privately for the first one and then had the second one done on the NHS just over a year later. Same consultant, same (private) hospital (at a weekend), definite difference in quality of stitches 🤣. Luckily her original referral was for the knee that the consultant decide could wait, so she didn't have to start again on the waiting list.

    I've planted LOTS of plants. Still need to water and mulch, but that will have to wait for morning as I'm off out shortly (they'll get a quick water, but not a proper soak - it's only the plants in the newly-dug bits I'm worried about as they're the only ones that are in dry soil). I found some bagged mulch, so will use that, then attempt to cardboard around the plants and stick woodchip over the top once I've given it a thorough soak. I'm aiming to soak everything thoroughly once a week, but will see how things get on.

    It's cooling down here - clouding over and we've had a breeze all day despite the heat.
