A wasted morning...and good news

 This morning didn't start well...luckily I checked online to see if the car's MoT had registered....and it was stating that the last MoT ran out on the 24th...incorrect as it happens, it was the 30th....which is why, after a Sunday and Bank Holiday it was MoT'd (or got its WOF) yesterday....

So, bus to the dentist.....7.45 am bus...through roadworks...and being a school bus...what should have been a 10 minute wait for the connection, became watching the connection go out as we came in......

Then not only 20 minutes wait, but the next bus took 20 minute to do not much more than 2 miles.....

I arrived at the dental practice as my appointment time finished.....ten minutes which was for two minutes work...and she refused to see me....the next person hadn't arrived either. 

Back home then, with the usual timing....the connection had left two minutes before...another half hour wait....

Tax the car online....£290 for a year....or nearly £305 if you do direct debit 😳 that has jumped up, not just crept up, as it has been doing.   Ho hum.   Can't live with them, can't live without them.   Some things you can't just hop on the bus to do.....

After getting the garden construction one step further yesterday...



Pirate had good news today...the cancer is confined to one 6 cm ulcer.....so 5 days radiotherapy to shrink it, then surgery...asap please!!

Looks like he will be keeping his queue...just like his hero Willie Nelson who has just celebrated his 90th with two days of concerts!

Yay! For small ulcer and long queue!
(Boo for dentist who wouldn't take the two minutes to fit you in.)

Your pallet compost arrangement is much more level and organised than mine. Hope all goes well for Pirate.

Great news about Pirate. What a pain about the bus trip to the dentist. Hope you get another appointment soon.

Oh my gosh. What very, very good news! I actually got tears in my eyes reading about that one. So glad for BOTH of you.

It must have been a day for dentist appointments! I had one. My sister stopped by the house as I was getting ready to leave. She had a dentist appointment as well. (Different dentist), appointments an hour apart. Sadly, I arrived on time, had to wait a half hour (excrutiating to wait at a dentist's office) and a half hour of work. I've been dreading this appointment for weeks now. I'm glad it is done. That's amazing that your dentist refused to see you.
