    Hope you are feeling better now and the walk goes ok with no trouble.

    Great news about the PBs and some compensation.

    A very spendy day but Mr LH has a new puffy coat as his old one is several years old and the puffiness is largely flat. I also had a 25% discount. I have also bought  a couple of fancy lamps (Tiffany type). One for us and one for a Christmas present for my friend whose son is in hospital as I thought she deserved something really nice this year. The compensation from NS & I has hit our account so part of the spending is covered by that.

    A friend called this afternoon for a quick cup of tea and said she had spoken to one of the people involved in our incident. From what she said she knows she is in the wrong and said if she sees us she will walk away. We are not so sure about her partner as he is much more agressive from what we can gather. On a side note we have still had nothing from the police.

    The weather here is horrible - heavy rain although the wind has dropped and the rain didnt start until I had been out with Bear. A bonus!  We are also under a thunder warning but no sign yet.  Bear didnt go to his field yesterday due to the weather. I am off to my BiL tomorrow and hoping the journey will be better. The weather is supposed to be dry si keep your fingers crossed.

    2 loads of washing to do. 1 is in the machine now.I also need to bring the recycling in but dont want to go out at the moment as I will get soaked. I do feel sorry for those working outside at the moment. Nice when the weather is good but they certainly pay for it when the weather is bad.
    Now I had better start with the normal jobs for today.

    Glad that someone is realising they were in the wrong.  Hopefully you won't have any more trouble.

    The police have finally been in touch and visited us this afternoon. They seemed to take it seriously and will be visiting the other people concerned next week. We have mentioned the possibility they may retaliate but seemed to think that was unlikely.

    It has been a busy day as I had the lung function test this morning now all I have to do is wait until I see the GP on 30th November for the results. I think Mr LH is beginning to realise there may actually be something wrong.  I tried to call to collect my prescription when i had been to the doctor but there must have been a dozen people waiting and as it seems ttake ages for each person to be served I gave up.I will have to walk there tomorrow and collect it as soon as they open. I cannot do the standing and when I asked about delivery they were quite snappy as though I was being unresonable in asking.

    Trip to my BiL went ok and I was only 20 minutes late arriving there. I dont know what it is but every trip I have made recently has been late. It is so annoying as I dont get that long there as it is. I also brought some more stuff back to put on ebay although I have only listed a couple of items so far.

    I am now going to finish watching wife on strike. I can sympathise with them.

    Forget the doctors, have you tried all the local pharmacies.  If you have LLoyds or Cohens certainly you should be able to get them delivered without a problem.  With many others too but those are the groups I know.  You have to sort any with the pharmacy not through the doctors, the pharmacy tells the doctors they are dealing with your prescriptions.
    Just thought - unless you are not in England.
