Well another tick in the box as I (Jill) actually remembered to go to the Doctors today for my Cholesterol blood test (unlike last week when I gayly pitched up at work and then looked at my diary!!). The good news is that apparently I have the blood pressure of a teenager 120 over 80 - it is just a shame that the same couldnt be said for the rest of me. But that is good news bearing in mind that Mum has had a history of blood pressure issues. Perhaps this is one instance where I take after my Dad as I dont recall him ever having blood pressure problems. I am sure that my brisk 30 minute walk in the rain to the surgery will have helped - the nurse reckons that it is probably because of the statins but as I havent been very good taking them of late I am hoping that it just means that I am fit and healthy and have nothing to worry about. It would be good if the results come back and my cholesterol is fine because I shouldnt need to worry too much about tablets (and the cost).
John finishes his resettlement course today with an exam!! Still he should come home with the rudiments of bricklaying, plastering and tiling under his belt. All useful stuff for the plans we have for 10B.
I have missed him more this last three weeks than I do when he is away for months. I think it is because he is away but only really just down the road (or is it up the road for Cardiff?). It wont be the last time we are apart as he is jetting off to Cyprus on 23rd for 10 days and a list of jobs as long as your arm. But he likes that and functions better with a list!! By the time he comes home in March we should at least have the kitchen underway and solar heating sorted.
I guess it will be a weekend of more sorting for us!!!
