A New Week dawns

 

 It always seems to be Monday - no sooner does Monday night arrive than Monday morning of the next week arrives.   Does anyone else find that?   It was understandable in the days when I taught in school - week-ends were precious and so they flew by;  but now all days are alike it is still the same

I have just had a Zoom with friends W, P and D - as usual it is good to catch up with what they have all been doing.   I hear what they have all been doing from here in my little bungalow where I rarely venture out other than a walk round the block or a trip to the hairdresser.   Tomorrow is a trip to the hospital to see the Vascular Surgeon (I am going by taxi rather than hospital transport) - apparently a necessity after a broken hip.   As I wear compression stockings every day and my legs seem more or less normal I don't expect I shall have to have any treatment - but time will tell.

At Book Group this morning we discussed Never Let me Go by Ishiguro.   Thank you Margaret Butterworth for telling me about the interview on U Tube with Ishiguro.   It was fascinating - do watch it if you have read the book.    I find listening to writers about books they have written so interesting - they open up so many aspects you haven't thought of.

Warm, sunny day here with a coolish breeze - maybe a faint suggestion of Autumn not being far away.   I shall go and forage for something for tea now - I will report in tomorrow after my hospital visit.

Good luck for your hospital visit. Interesting weather here today - a lively little thunderstorm as I was cooking my evening meal. One clap of thunder made me jump! Lots of rain, but that will please local gardeners. I hope I don't get soaked taking my walk tomorrow morning.

Best wishes for your doctor checkup. I'm guessing you'll turn out just fine! Yes, I love author interviews too. I remember watching an interview with the horror writer, Dean Koontz. Come to find out he's a staunch Catholic... who would have thunk?! *haha* ~Andrea xoxoxo

I understand what you say about the days flying by! It seems like each week goes so fast that it's almost hard to keep up with it. I'll be thinking of you when you go see your Vascular Surgeon. I hope everything checks out well for you. You are so good at taking care of yourself and getting your exercise I imagine the doctor will be pleased. Enjoy the remainder of your day!

The older I get, the faster the time goes. Best wishes with your appointment. I have never read Never Let Me Go, but would like to do so. I saw a movie version that was quite good.

Love,
Janie

Good luck with the doctor visit! You appear to be doing quite well to me - hope the doctors agree! Have a nice day!

You've reminded me of a song I loved 'Who knows where the time goes '- it spoke to me in the past and even more so now!

The weeks seem very short these days. And it's not like I am very productive and run out of time.

Joanne Noragon said...

Best wishes for tomorrow.

Margaret Butterworth said...

Did you know that Ishiguro has written a new novel "Klara and the Sun", which is said to be a kind of sequel to "Never let me Go"?

Librarian said...

Yes, time flies by and maybe particularly so right now, when I would like summer to stay a little longer instead of that almost autumnly feeling in the mornings and evenings.
I hope all goes well with your hospital appointment.

Hope the hospital visit goes well without too much waiting.

My weeks fly by too - frighteningly fast

Its chill here in Tod in the morning though an expected heat wave about the middle of August? Good luck with the hospital visit.

Thank you everyone - I will report back.

Starzz said...

I find the days fly by too. I also have to wear compression socks as I have Vascular insufficiency. By about 6pm. I have to take them off as they cut into my swollen legs from walking around and gardening during the day. I just want to say you are an inspiration to me. I am not sure I have ever commented here before but I read your and Johns's blog every day. I really enjoy hearing about England and Wales. Thank you,
Cheers,
Carol in Ontario Canada

I will always advice, that when you want to trade, you should seek the assistance of a well trained personnel. I've been trading with Robert Seaman and it would be selfish of me, if i don't recommend them. With their well guarded signals and forever active strategies i have been able to make over $11,200 usd weekly.

I'm a victim of the LIQULDOHN cryptocurrency investment scam, I was asked to deposit £700 which I did and it tripled to £2200 within 1 hour. That got my interest, The next deposit was £3,500 and my profit shot up to £18,200. I was amazed at how little money can make you crazy profits. I invested more and more. When I tried to cash out, I was asked to pay taxes and other complicated fees. My profits had accumulated to £531,000 as it would show on the trading website but I could not access it. By the time it got to me that the company is illegitimate, l had already lost a total of £190,000. I decided to do proper research about the company to ease my fears that I might have been conned and that's when I found out that they have been stealing from harmless Americans and individuals around the globe. While reading more about the company in pain, I stumbled upon a United States veteran article on how this same fake crypto investment website took his money but was able to recover it back from them with the help of an Ethical hacker. I inquired more about this Ethical hacker and that's when I was introduced to CYBER GENIE HACK-PRO. I am writing this positive review to affirm that, Recovering stolen Bitcoin from scammers is real and can be achieved when done by the right expert. If by any means you are a victim of a Crypto Investment scam and wish to get your funds and profits back, I highly recommend (Cybergenie(@)Cyberservices(.)Com) OR (Whatsapp (+1252) 5120391), you know why, I am living testimony of their greatness.

Most investment platform is an utter scam! Beware of their deceptive promises and flashy facade. Once lured in, they trap and leave you devastated with no chance of making Withdrawals? Their support is non-existent, conveniently ignoring your cries for help. Hidden fees bleed your hard-earned money dry, I then file a chargeback case to gryphonsolicitor.com and they gave a rapid aid to my withdrawal problems.
