Finally stitched her head up and dressed the hand at 7.00 this morning. Can’t reset the broken fingers yet - something about sorting out dislocated wrist/hand before they can set it in plaster. A right old carry on. 
What have you been doing today?

Not something I like to say but I would be praying that she slip away peacefully in her sleep. Best wishes to you and Mrs Mottie, hope the suffering doesn't go on too much longer.
You are Harold Shipman and I claim my five pounds. 
All the best to Mrs Mottie's mum.

…in Law although she seems to be on the mend and they have finally found a bed in a ward and are keeping her in for a day or two in account of the bang on the noggin and for the swelling on the hand to go down before they can perform some 'manipulations' to the broken fingers
. I lost my mum last year.

Polishing my bugle and ironing my gloves, spit and polish on my shoes. Very respectable.
Playing golf on a course with a huge amount of fallen leaves. It took a while to locate (if we could) ball’s in the rough and on the fairway.

Have you not been to that golf course before?
Went over the allotment and had my bonfire. Burned all my old wood, all my old plants and burned a lot of wood from my neighbours plots whether they wanted me to or not. Of course, when I came home I smelled like a smoked kipper so I just stripped off, chucked all my clothes in the washing machine and jumped in the shower. Mrs Mottie has gone out for lunch with her mates so I just chilled on the sofa and watched some old episodes of Everybody loves Raymond. Peggy joined me on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep. So deep that I would have felt guilty waking her up so I just let sleeping dogs lie.

Nothing like a young pup bonding with you. Gorgeous.
Took Peggy up for her second jab - thought she’d be able to go out a week later but they said two. First jab, she didn’t even notice it. This one, she made a right meal of it. Screaming and yelping. Vet took three goes to do it. I hope it’s not put her off of the vets!
Finally got our car back from the dealers - they’ve had it since Oct 15th. Fitted a new seat base. It’s great to be back in it instead of the loaner they gave us. Bugger, I put too much petrol in the loaner when I took it back - had over 60 more miles of fuel compared to when I picked it up so I thrashed it the last few miles in sport mode to get my moneys worth out of it.
Oh, and when I got home, I found the emergency key fob cover in the drawer, they are £30 to buy. I had lost my one a few months ago so that will come in handy. Come to think of it, it might have even have been mine…

She’s still in hospital. Operated on her today - reset the hand and fingers and plaster cast fitted. On strong painkillers but complaining of a pain in her leg. I think they are going to xray that tomorrow. Mrs Mottie got in a bit of a flap when they phoned her up and asked whether she would give permission for a DNR before she went under a General Anaesthetic but it’s just procedure.
Had a full strip-down service on my boiler today so of course I was supervising the gas bloke. I was surprised how little there was inside the boiler. Engineer said it was very clean in the heat exchanger and when it was put back together, no adjustments were needed to the gas although he said that’s quite normal after you’ve cleaned everything out. He replaced the spark electrode too but said there was nothing wrong with the 9 year old one anyway and left it with me as a spare. I reckon I could do it myself next time………
