Cold and old!

Not going to mention the age/birthday thing. I am in denial. Had quite a good birthday though, all things considered. Was in London yesterday with some friends and we managed to have dinner without getting rained on too much, then today had a lie-in, did some shopping, and more clearing out in the house as I got some nice new bedlinen and wanted to start using it. Bloody freezing though, so I have to admit that the heating has gone on... only because there is something wrong with the timer so technically speaking it's supposed to be off, but keeps coming on when it shouldn't so I had to turn all the radiators off pending getting it serviced which should happen soon. Anyway, relented and turned one of the radiators back on, but still cold and am sitting here in pyjamas and a hoodie.

Not much more to report than that really, got a shortened week at work as only doing 2 days due to having minor op on thursday - don't worry, nothing serious and hopefully will get away with having local anaesthetic so will be completely functional afterwards! Have got a friend kindly coming to stay though just in case I need any looking after, so I am planning to milk it for all it's worth. Steve did suggest having a "spot the op" competition whereby I could make people guess what they thought I was having done, but I thought that it would be completely inappropriate, so I'm not even going to go there! It's not lipo or anything scandalous in case you were wondering, it's a standard NHS jobby. I don't seem to have been given the usual Doctor privilege of being seen privately for free, but on the other hand I do get to have the consultant (who I once worked for) doing it rather than being fobbed off onto the SHO or F2 or whatever they are called these days.
