Just a quick update, although nothing much to report. Things are ticking along. My dad finally got his phone appt with Drs surgery, it was just from a nurse, who has prescribed 28 days of medication and see what happens. He was offered an investigation, but on balance, at his age, and what the test consisted of, he declined and my sister and I are in agreement. Its a risky procedure, and at his age, even worse, and even if it is something bad, they are unlikely to do anything at his age. Nurse thinks it maybe something less serious and hence the medication. So we'll see,
Yesterday I went for a free gym session, £5 a time as I'm over 60. So I may give it a go and see how I get on. Not 100% sure yet, as I don't want to give up the dancing class, and I'm not sure if I should be spending money on both. I know they are both beneficial and what price can you put on health and longevity, etc etc, but I am conscious of us still having debts to pay, and P/fc & other survey sites have been a bit slow this month so far. Still, we'll try for a bit and see how it goes. Its not like I am signing up to anything, and can stop at any time.
Garden is still producing tomatoes, raspberries and carrots. Courgettes seem to have stopped at the moment, although there are some more flowers coming. Got some winter seed potatoes and put it, and actually still have some autumn carrots, that say sow up to July, but wondered if its worth chucking them in tomorrow and see what happens. I need to read up a bit more on strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, so I know how to tend to the plants in the autumn.
I made blackberry and apple crumble with the foraged blackberries, and a banana loaf cake with some very over ripe bananas.
Washing blowing on the line after a quick 30c wash
Sold another item on V*nt*d, only £3, but it all adds up.
Passed on a bag of puzzles to my friend and also gave him a few tomatoes, as we can't eat them quick enough.
Tomorrow I need to take another bag to the charity shop, as its been sat in the wardrobe a while now.
