Still undecided

"We "Remain undecided on a car, or more particularly a colour, not that it bothers me one iota, a car is a car is a car whatever the colour.
I changed dentists today, same place but downstairs instead of upstairs and male instead of female. I had become fed up with previous fillings quickly becoming crunchy bits in my meals, hence the dentist change. The guy today filed the sharp edges off the offending tooth thus saving the lacerations on my tongue and pain whilst eating, something of a result.
I have taken advantage of a few days good weather to tidy the garden and revamp a few pots/tubs.

Leicester hospital and smiles, an unlikely combination

I was due yet another eye test today.
Amazingly they could find no deterioration in my eyes since the last test ( this being Leicester hospital ) and I was complimented on their condition after almost 63 years of living on insulin control.We left happy and commenced new car hunting. Lynne has set her heart on a new Kia Sportage but only in red, which is only available in the top of the range model. We then had a long debate regarding the large cost difference between the two models, all for the colour red, but colours are important for the ladies so  tomorrow we will order a red Kia Sportage and sell our beloved Kia Rio ( in silver ).

War of the World's and PHilomena

More snow and  lots of time to fully appreciate "War of the World's"( cd ) and Philamena ( film ). The film is well recommended and extremely moving, as is the cd.

Brighter times and snow.

To round off a successful week ( with the exception of Arsenal ) today we have sunshine and snow. We aim to get a new, bigger, TV  for home and perhaps a replacement computer for my scrapped antique.
First, We met a consultant to discuss my gist results. Believe it or not they have lost them via a computer crash, but they still hope to retrieve them, at which time they will let me know by phone. The current view is the gist remains too small to remove for the foreseeable future, but it will be monitored. What more could I expect from Leicester hospital? 
From the hospital we visited John Lewis ( the shop, not the person ) where we bought a large , curve screen TV and sound bar, to be delivered next week.
I have to admit I lost my £20 bet as MCC completed the first instalment of their court "fine", which is strangely pleasing.

A long tunnel to sunshine

Seconds after shaking with Lynne to seal my £ 20 bet Paul from MCC phoned to confirm he will pay our battery "bill" in three instalments on the 1st of each month. It appears MCC have bigger  issues with the VAT authorities. Shame.
