It's Flower Friday

Today began with an early appointment at the Freeman Hospital on the east side of Newcastle. This necessitated an early alarm and a scatter round to give Mum breakfast before I left.

I was to see the orthopaedic nurse. I didn't know why. It turned out that she didn't know why either! She did not even know if I had had surgery yet. There was nothing to be done except give me another appointment for November.

One useful thing is that I now know there is a helpline if I run into any difficulties.

Back home, I did lots of tidying. When I go away next week, Sharon will be staying and has to use my bed. (The spare bed is in the garage.)

Mum had a difficult day with yet another migraine and bad pain in her back.

We sat quietly this afternoon and I fell fast asleep in the chair.

I bought these tulips yesterday and loved the colours. I wanted to photograph them in front of a textured wall this evening, but they had partly closed and did not look as good. My blip shot was taken earlier in the day.
