It seems I'm a patient now!

Morning walk, after a night when the annoying cough woke me again….but I did sleep a lot as I was very tired yesterday.

Daughter heard me coughing in the night; it seems as if this cold (sinus infection plus chesty cough) has two bites at one…..

she’s now gone for a few days, rehearsal tonight plus concert for her concerto on Sunday, then getting together to record and produce her annual Christmas film on Monday. She took my Christmas tree and lights, just hope it’s going to be enough for her needs!

The cough woke me again, around 3 am again but having struggled a few times, I just grabbed my inhaler this time and settled quicker. 

Rapid walk again this morning, much milder and very windy with rain in the air.

Just back from a concert; I think tomorrow I’m going to watch West Side Story (the old film) as Bernsteins music to it was the last item on the programme and it was so good.

Love that musical and dancing fabulous too.  Enjoy.  
Another fave for me is Dirty Dancing with drop  dead gorgeous Patrick Swayze.  

We used some music from West Side Story to conclude Mum's  celebration of life. She loved musicals and I grew up listening to her playing the original soundtracks on Sunday afternoons. So we played ' There's a place for us' to conclude. There were a lot of tears in the room.

I’ve ordered both the original, and the remake of West Side Story on DVDs from that well known on line retailer, as I found neither was available to watch on the media we have here. 

And yes, I know I will cry, I did when watching the original film years ago and even the music gets me going!

Both DVDs received today, yet to be watched….

bedding changed today as it’s a dry day out there with a decently drying breeze. (Not sure if they will fully dry outside but all washing smells so much better if it gets a chance outside.

Went into the museum, did the usual ‘housework’ but didn’t need to stay too long. 

Daughter’s concerto went ok-ish she said, but her encore went better!

Contact lens clinic today following my right cataract surgery 6 weeks ago. Measured, scanned; the shape hasn’t changed much so the expert Optometrist was able to pop in a standard lens of the right profile to then find the correction, and it looks very promising. I’m now only just short sighted (which I suspected) but the contact lens is still needed as the cornea is oddly shaped. It can’t be corrected by glasses but isn’t bad enough for a corneal graft. 

I now have a wait for the new lens to be delivered to the hospital, they will phone when it arrives and they can fix a time for me to pop in and collect it. They will also teach me a different way of removing it if ever needed as I’d had a problem with the left lens recently.

Daughter is home but once again really poorly with the cough, cold and sore eyes. Oh poor kid, what can be done? I guess she once again needs a doctors appointment, but they are impossible to get. So I guess it’s 111 again? 

the penalties of an almost non-existent immune system.
