1) hospital: Had my pre-surgical assessment at the hospital on Monday which was okay, though I still don't have a date for the actual surgery. The woman I spoke to today in the surgical booking office said they've had a lot of emergencies recently and my surgery might not happen now until December/January. I'm obviously very disappointed at this, but as I've waited literally years and years for them to do this full reconstructive surgery - as opposed to the regular shoring up (which is how I think of it) surgeries they've done over the years in the meantime - then I suppose I can wait just a couple more months.

2) freezer: Got home from the hospital Monday evening to find that my freezer door hadn't closed properly on Sunday and literally everything was ruined and had to be thrown out. Really didn't need that right now.

3) bathroom: Haven't had any more leaking in the bathroom since Sunday, but that's probably only because it hasn't really rained since then. Am now using pillowcases there to cover up the hole, and they're proving to be effectively absorbent. I'm nothing if not classy resourceful.

4) beach: Deb and I took a couple of service users out for lunch at Urban Reef this afternoon, which is a lovely place right down on the edge of my beach. After, we walked along the shore for a while, so here's some more random beach photo's for those of you who are interested:











Hope you're all doing okay ♥

1) Short answer: hit by a car at 6, nose mended in hospital but they screwed it up. Said they couldn't operate again till it had stopped growing (16 years old) and at that point they'd do reconstructive surgery. when the time came (to save money) they did a shoring up job instead which failed. They then repeatedly did these because the first one failed. They all failed. Now have a surgeon willing to do the full reconstructive surgery. Ta-da!

3) Have written to the freeholder politely demanding they get it sorted. He's notoriously crap though so it could take months...

freeholder? I don't know that term. Is that like a landowner or something? Housing seems all very different in the UK. Renting especially, but I know you own the place, right?

I live in a large house with 7 flats. I own one of the flats and am the leaseholder for that flat. This other guy owns the house itself and 6 of the flats and is therefore the freeholder and responsible for all external work.

Hope that helps =)
