Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

[Mudgie]

Rather scaringly.... ( is that a word?)

Heard noises at the side of our house earlier tonight while son was here. ( we're detached , but sounded like someone was moving/dragging stuff behind the wall where the neighbours gate/ shed etc is.)
I passed it off as the neighbours outside , but their cars weren't there.
I went out into the back garden out of curiosity, everywhere in darkness so assumed must be the fence blowing.
Then later read on the Nextdoor site someone saying lots of cops were in the next road searching for someone.
Just read 2 people been arrested over the back in next road , not far from our house

I'll think twice before venturing out into the darkness on my own in future if hearing noises!


(Reminds me of the time years ago when we lived in West Way. Our dog was barking like mad late one Christmas eve and my parents just assumed it was revellers walking past and ignored it.
Woke up in the morning to cops next door , all their food and presents had been nicked , and sniffer dogs traced the burglars scent down my parents footpath and over the fence to neighbours house )

I lived on West Way, opposite Somerset Road, from 1976 to 1979.

I lived on West Way, opposite Somerset Road, from 1976 to 1979.

We lived down the bottom part, facing the road by the Hghfields infant/junior school ( is that Highfield Grove? ) number 49. We left in 1963.

( and our completely blind collie managed to escape and somehow find his way back to the old West Way house from Baswich Crest soon after we'd moved. )


BUT.....my best mate in the 70's lived between Somerset road and shops/ The Yeoman and used to go up there every week between about 1975 to 1979 . Probably saw me walking past your house.

I'm reminded how very intelligent collies can be.
And that all sorts walked past !!

I remember when that meant another shilling in the meter.

Whilst I was starting the fire for us this morning, 'my' cat revealed that she knows how to turn on the computer in the Shed.

I am concerned about what sort of stuff she might be ordering...

I'll give her the code for Pets at Home if she wants it. 20% off.

Hoping hubbys heart surgeon is a bit more switched on when he operates to fit his pace maker and defibillator in the near future. Went to get his additional medication until the op ,on a hand written prescription .....Tesco Pharmacist pointed out it had another patients name and details on it ! Had to go back to the hospital to get it rectified.

After over 2 hour delay on appointment times as his consultant was also doing the job of another who was off work, and all the messing around back and forth to the hospital and pharmacy, made us in a rush for sons birthday meal night out.

But , after all the stress, had a fantastic meal and a few drinks to celebrate sons birthday in our local pub .

Walk into town today to help burn off the excesses of Christmas and last nights bday celebrations . Got somewhere to aim for and back ( and luckily this side of the floods so dont need my wellies).

Taking hand written notes from hubbys heart consultant for the GP surgery with ECG , CT Scan results , plans for treatment and additional meds to add onto repeat.
( At least those have got hubby's correct details on , rather than wrong patient computer printed label stuck on the prescription !).
Says would take about a month for notes to be typed up and sent on otherwise with the backlog, so going old school and with pen & Paper.
He was so impressed with my secretarial skills and hand written history for the past 9 years , with all hubby's SDGH hospital ops , tests & results , etc along with present meds he's taken a copy of my paperwork to use to try to track down exactly what's gone on in SDGH/Cannock/Stoke hospitals and here until present.

Proved to son I'm not so stupid keeping everything written down in an old fashioned paper book after all ( as well as helping find his details for stuff quickly , after his numerous " What's .....I can't find the email with it on" )

And if my book goes missing , I've got copies of the really important stuff

Embarrassing walk across a busy leisure centre reception in nothing but my swimming costume, after a climb over pool barriers to get out via the viewing/seating area.

Had managed to nab a rare available space in a popular lunchtime aquafit , which you have to get your finger on the button at 6am 10 days before and hope you hit it at the right second to grab one of the 42 spaces. A cancellation came up last night and I grabbed it. ...

What I didn't realise is that as they've had trouble with people just turning up when not managing to book a space , you now have to wear an armband for just the 2 popular lunchtime aqua classes issued by reception on arrival . So got to the pool side in my cossie to be made aware I needed to go and ask for one.... With about 20 people queuing for the one staff member at the desk , I had to ask nicely if I could push in.


One consolation....I know I'm now fit enough to climb over a barrier , which I probably would have stuggled with months ago

It's not taken much reflection to decide that it really isn't good to be back.

Just remembered there was a robot litter bin zooming around the town last week, did anyone see it? It looked like what you’d see in old cartoons where someone would hide under a box and then the box would suddenly lift off the floor and run off.
