A new GP, a missed appointment and Kiles sneaky beaky snapping and

28 April 2013

Follow on the GP saga - we have been accepted by the new GPs.  The Grange is a lot closer than Red Roofs and therefore easier to get to.  On Tuesday afternoon we have an appointment with the practice nurse for a new patient medical.  We are now hoping that everything to do with Jan's stoma care supplies will settle down thereby cutting our stress levels.  I do have one more appointment at Red Roofs for an aneurism screening.  That is being run by a different set of people and nothing to do with the practice there other than using their building.

Another health related item though ... I read in the Dorktown News about a screening session for prostate cancer and seeing I'm in the age range for it I gave them a call and they fitted me in at a 1.45 ... opps ... I forgot and at 1.45 we were sat have a drink and slice of cake at Attenborough.  I'll see what the new GP can do with that one now.

Yesterday we did go to Attenborough near to Nottingham.  We had a bit of job finding the place seeing as I came off the M1 at the wrong junction.  When did finally get there we had a great time - even if we did get a bit damp during the showers.  Kile loved it again.  We let him use one of our Nikon compacts, usually the Coolpix 5100.  He total 126 shots yesterday including one of me while I was driving home; sneaky beaky shot that one and he is very pleased with it.  Only 29 species of birds but six for the year so not a bad three hours birding.  Jan and I are planning going there again sometime on a weekday.  It was very busy yesterday. 

Today I was thinking of going out and doing some photos but after yesterday I'm feeling a tad tired.  And seeing as there's a good bit to do here I am staying in and having a lazy(ish) day instead.  I've also got Kile's home to do as well.  Let me explain there ... his task for this weekend is to is to ask one his family to name a city they have visited and to say what they liked and disliked about.  Now, my hand writing is pretty poor and Jan's is pretty small, so I'll type it up and he can copy it out as the teacher wants it.  Biggest problem is making sound like a nine year old has written it, and not a honours graduate ;-)))  Fun eh ... ... ...

Toady's photo is this ... 

a wild primrose we found at Cley.  I was also surprised to see so much cow's slip around there too.  Surprised but pleased though.

Now for a funny - but I got told off by Jan for the 'GameBoy' one from the other day ... sorry if it upset anyone; it was not meant too.

Forty travellers arrive at the Pearly Gates in their Transit vans and caravans.  St Peter goes into the gatehouse and phones up GOD, saying: 'I've got 40 travellers here. Can I let them in?'
GOD replies 'We are over our quota on Pikeys.  Go back out to the Pearly Gates and tell them to choose among themselves which are the 12 most worthy, and I will let just the dozen in."
Less than a minute later St Peter is on the phone to GOD again.
'They've gone', he tells GOD.
'What?' says GOD, 'All 40 of them?'
'No, the Pearly Gates'.
