Monday, my quiet day – well almost

The antibiotics are so far working well so I’m managing to avoid an immediate visit back to the hospital for more traumatic treatment options. Sent more print orders off to the lab this morning. A visit to the bank to pay in another batch of cheques then on to Piccadilly Photographic in Cardiff to replenish my stock of folders followed by some shopping at Morrisons in Llanishen.

A quiet evening relaxing.

A warm Thursday

I had a long relaxing soak in the bath this morning, since leaving hospital a few weeks ago I’ve had to shower daily rather than take a bath (no big deal as showering daily is my normal routine) but there’s something really nice about having a long soak in the bath.

I spent the morning processing orders from recent weddings and then I took my mum out for lunch. I spent the afternoon making up orders while the multitude of batteries were charging in readiness for tomorrow’s wedding.

A quiet evening (apart from the thunder!).

A thundery Wednesday

A visit to the district nurse and the site of my recent surgery has now healed which means that no further treatment is required. Unfortunately there is an additional problem that requires an immediate referral to my GP who has put me on a further course of antibiotics for two weeks but if there isn’t an improvement by Monday I’ll be going back to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital for further treatment. 🙁

Welsh class this evening. Very impressive thunderstorms tonight with both fork and sheet lightning.

A warm and sunny Sunday

I finished re-wiring the trailer socket on the Nissan Patrol this morning. I met Lisa (one of our brides from last year) at Tesco in Talbot Green this morning and then on to the Bridgend Classic Car Show at Pencoed. A very large selection of classic cars from vintage to modern at the show this year which is organised by the South Wales Classic Car Club and held at the Pencoed Agricultural College.

Here’s a photograph of the engine bay of an immaculate MGC roadster (I owned one myself for many years and it was a terrific car with bags of character).

And here’s a photograph of a Ferrari engine bay.

A drive around the coast, stopping at Southerndown before returning home for a relaxing evening.
