What a difference a change of weather makes. No snow,no ice, I can get out and about, even though I am still off work ands the miffed mood has definitely gone. Husband had his physio appointment fortunately he will only need exercise, apparently the muscle was damaged when they removed the vein for his bypass so he has to build it up and hopefully that will hold the knee in place. I get my MRI results on Wednesday and have to admit the MRI itself was not as bad as I thought it would be. I was given a sleep mask to wear and went in feet first. There were only two iffy moments, once when I slightly moved a finger and touched the wall of the machine and once when I thought I had been in for quite long enough the technician came and said "well done... we are just about.... half way through! I was reminded of a coach tour we went on a few years ago. I have to say I do not like tunnels.... tunnels on trains I can cope with by imagining I am travelling through the night ( codology but it works!) Straight tunnels where I can see that little bit of day light getting nearer and nearer I can deal with. Tunnels under the Alps are another matter altogether. Now there is a lovely custom on the continent where tunnels are named and their ength displayed. Super when the length is 56 m, 200m etc, but we met the big one 17km! Deep breathing, squeezing husband's hand, eyes closed you name it I did it. We had been in that tunnel for what seemed like an eternity when on the wall I say the sign 8.5km Half way! The realisation that I still had all that time to spend in the tunnel. Well at last we made daylight ... and the holiday was good, and we did travel back a differnt way.
My driving lessons are still going on , with me feeling much more confident. I have a fantastic instructor who has the patience of a saint, but also a streak of sadism.. He does insist on giving me challenges. Up the narrow country lanes avoiding the oncoming cars. He ended up in hysterics almost when I said it would be cheaper for me to go to the fair in town to get the adrenaline rush! I could save myself a fortune. Am beginning to think about taking my test in spring.
Oh well, I suppose my radnom witterings must come to an end.
love to all xx
