List just one thing you did today

Honestly. I don't feel like spending today calling around places about my court ordeal next week. They make out I don't have agoraphobia and whatnot.

I requested a call back from my GP yesterday and this wifey said she can basically provide a copy of the same useless "support letter" they gave out before in regards to a prior court hearing, which was a waste of time. She even refused to say I cannot go to court.

It's not a court that is local to me, you see. But if they arrested me with a warrant for not going, they'd have to drive me along the M8.

I think I'll just unregister from this medical practice. It's pretty obvious they just aren't willing to refer me for an assessement, to be diagnosed by a specialist the right way.

The best way I found to do this, get letters of support from doctors, is to write the letter myself, fax it to them, ask politely if the doctor or PA or nurse can sign and return.

Only you know exactly why you cannot go. Doctors are too busy to review your chart and to think up something to say about. it.

This is what I ended up doing for my clients who needed a doctor's letter for just about anything.
 
The first thing I need to do today is take a hay fever relief tablet. I had itchy eyes yesterday and I sneezed a lot. 🌻

The hotter weather and the pollution that it mixes in with in Edinburgh, doesn't help.
 
Got two 6x2x2 leaky stock tanks lined with plastic and filled with water.

Now I have to carry multiple 100 lbs of mud buckets full of water lilies, rush, and sweetflag up from the basement.

Carrying mud buckets is the least fun part of the process (picking the plants out of a catalogue is more fun and less work).

sprouts??? ;)

LOL - no. Sorry for the confusion.

After a fruit tree is pruned, it will throw a lot of slender twiggy branches. They mostly grow straight upwards, like a waterspouts, so people often (around here - might be local terminology) call them that.

This year, they were 3 feet long from one year's growth.

They have to be cut off because they will grow weak, break off after a few years, wasting energy that could have gone into healthy growth, and they will not fruit well.
 
We had all of our electronics turned off for a thunderstorm, so I knocked out my monthly chopping of vegetables. 🔪
 
Picked up 34 bales of hay. Half are alfalfa, the rest orchard grass-alfalfa mix.
7am is early for me since i've retired, but less traffic on the narrow 2-lanes here.

My neighbor's sheep and horses are corralled up against our common fence. It sounded like they
were disappointed that my loaded trailer passed them by. The hay does have a rich aroma.....
