Project 366 week 21

Sunday

We have some noisy visitors in the loft.

Monday

The day we take Bob to gymnastics and then take Lilly a run somewhere. Here she is having fun at playing amongst the rocks.

Tuesday

I do holiday relief cover in a warden controlled complex and every Tuesday morning they have a coffee morning. This week it was the eightieth birthday of one of the residents, and so he had asked me to join them for a slice of birthday cake. He had no idea his daughter was flying up from London and that she had asked over various childhood friends to attend as well as a few relatives. It was a lovely turn out and a good morning was had by all.

Happy Birthday




Wednesday

When I had my hearing checked the other week they found I had a loss in my left ear. So I was to go for an MRI scan to check it was nothing sinister and is just wear and tear in my advancing years. You get to take your own music with you if you want so I grabbed this one. Not an overly pleasant experience but just shut my eyes and concentrated on the music.

Thursday

It was wet and raining but we went and played in the park regardless. They went home soaked to the skin and covered in mud but they had fun and did not want to go home,

wet and muddy but happy




Friday

We nipped out to buy some bits for the garden and stopped at Auchincruive for a run around. She really is now starting to behave like a terrier and pouncing on things and rooting around the long grass.

Saturday

How many of you are aware of the new married tax allowance that came into force in April last year? I thought it only came in this year and so phoned up to get it implemented on my tax code. If one of you in the household does not use up your tax allowance you can transfer £1100 of it to your husband/wife/civil partners tax allowance. I got in back dated to last April and got £212 back.( last year it was only 1060)  Not to be sneezed at. Find out more on the HMRC website if you think it applies to you.

  1. Your noisy visitors are cute, but I probably wouldn't want them in my loft! It's lovely to read about the old gentleman's birthday. Must have been a lovely surprise for him.
    It's good that you got to take your own music to your MRI scan. They just gave me some sort of African tribal music in my ears!

    1. that was why I took my own music, at least it gave me something I knew to concentrate on in my head to try and overcome the impending doom feeling.

  4. Hope MRI results are all good, I feel claustrophobic just reading about MRI scans. What a lovely birthday surprise for an old gentleman. Love mummy bird feeding her baby, so cute.

    1. Cannot say as I enjoyed the scan but just used relaxation techniques and tried to pretend I was elsewhere.

  7. ooooh thats a lovely bonus from the government - not to be taken likely as so often you end up owing them money!
    Lily is settling in so well isn't she? Bless her, she is a pretty little dog.
    Fingers crossed the MRI scan will not reveal anything worrying. x
