Hospital appointment

Decided not to blip the reverse of the old penny and will add it as an extra when I have the chance (no extras available).
I didn't see Mum today due to the hospital appointment being in the time slot for visiting her! I telephoned her to wish her happy birthday. The phone conversations are getting more difficult as her hearing is very bad and she has needed her hearing aid adjusting / upgrading for years! I suspect she isn't always understanding some of the conversation either. She told me someone was coming to see her today but she couldn't recall who (my granddaughter and her two boys) so I reminded her. Its funny though, she remembered the time they were planning to get there but not who it was. She sounded very tired so that's probably had a bearing on recall.
ENT appointment at our local hospital - I was in and out fast as there was nobody else in the waiting or consulting rooms. Even had the camera job - not pleasant but I've had worse!
When we were setting off to the hospital we found a car parked partly across our drive - again. We presumed it was at the usual neighbour's house and Terry rang their doorbell a number of times but no answer. He nipped back in our house while I rang the neighbour and the culprit came out to move the car but was quite rude saying "you could get out there" and I don't think she'd have said anything to Terry if he hadn't been out of sight. I gave her a sharp reply "It's ignorant!" I don't think he could have got the car out but at any rate it would have been very awkward with cars parked across the road and with our gateposts. At any rate, she could have parked further forward (there was lots of room to do that) and then she wouldn't have been across our drive! Height of rudeness in my opinion. I would never park across someone's drive. With the delay in getting out I was on the minutes for my appointment which p*sses me off as I like to be a little early and not having to dash (I get very breathless when I have to hurry) and I was a bit stressed to start with in anticipation of the camera!
It's been quite mild today and I got out in the garden after lunch for some leaf collecting and cutting back. There is more to do but It has to wait. I will need help from Terry for the magnolia as it went rampant this year.
