Scamp was out early to go to FitSteps and I was left to my own devices for an hour or so, but with a reminder to phone the dentist and the optician.
I tried to phone the dentist first, but could hardly hear the assistant in the surgery. Tried three times with no success. I phoned Hazy to check that it wasn’t a problem associated with Cumbersheugh, but the same thing happened. I was about to restart the phone when Hazy phoned back to check that everything was ok. I told her about the phone problem and she made a few suggestions and said she’d look into it. This time I did restart the phone and just as it restarted I thought the problem might be something to do with my headphones. Sure enough, the headphones were on and sitting on the table at the other end of the room. Once I switched them off, everything went back to normal. That’s when Hazy messaged me to tell me to restart the iPhone with instructions for doing it. I phoned her back feeling a bit sheepish and explained about the headphones. See Technology? See Me?!
Next I’d to phone the dentist and apologise for the three silent calls, but Amy was very good, didn’t shout at me and got me an appointment for a dislodged filling for just after midday!
The next thing on my list was the optician. Got an appointment for the end of the month, just when my annual checkup was due. After a disastrous start, everything was beginning to fit into place.
I’m sure a card and a parcel arrived today, but strangely they both disappeared when I turned my back on them! Must be something to do with the weather.
The tooth filling only took about 15 minutes and it seems to be more solid and less intrusive than the one that it was replacing.
After Scamp returned, I drove to the shops to get lunch and came home with nine wee cupcakes, thin and thick sliced chicken, chocolate mini eggs a loaf and a bake in the oven curry for dinner. That’s what happens when you send me for the messages. I usually forget something, but then buy more than we really need. Anyway we didn’t starve!!
In the afternoon, I waited in for a delivery of coffee. 1 kilo of Blow Your Socks Off beans(strong coffee), 2 x 250g Cat’s Pyjamas coffee beans and 1 x Bag of Drinking Chocolate. You see what I mean about buying too much? I’m surprised Scamp allows me to go out myself!
The coffee was delivered early so I went for a walk in St Mo’s. I took my Rab jacket which was sensible, but I forgot my woolly bunnet. Not so clever. It was a bright day, but with a cutting cold east wind that reduced the temperature to just above zero.
The curry was delicious if a bit creamy and with very little spicy heat. It was meant to be Butter Chicken, but could have used more spice. Other than that it was fine. Pudding was yesterday’s rhubarb and pear pie with ice cream. The rhubarb was almost all from our garden with a smidgen from some Waitrose rhubarb. It was very well received!
Tomorrow I believe we may be going to dance class. The last one for three weeks. Oh dear, what a shame!
