First, Amazon had some problems delivering our new coffee machine. That's on top of the trouble I had getting them to let me pay for it. But that's irrelevant to the subject of this blog, so moving on....
The day started with some light snow and threatening skies, but it didn't last long:
The people supposed to be fitting the scooter hoist to my car on Monday 'phoned to say the necessary parts haven't arrived, so delayed until Thursday. Great!
The coffee machine finally arrived. Will try to get it up and running later today. It's only a couple of days since the old one went off to recycling. Badly missing the morning cappuccinos.
Then a 'phone call from neurosurgeon #2, Mr.D of Brentwood. He's had his meeting with his colleagues and the joint decision is that I need surgery, which will involve going in at the back of my neck and inserting screws into C1 and C2 and possibly C3 as well, plus whatever other supporting metalwork as may be needed. But this is not a job for a provincial hospital like any of our local hospitals so it's off to London Bridge Hospital and the tender mercies of neurosurgeon #3, Mr.Ib, who seems from what I can find online, to be the top man for this kind of thing. Of course there'll have to be at least one consultation with him first, which means going to London with all the attendant complications of travelling with a wheelchair.
Outside temperature down to just 1C tonight...
