Escaping Into The Sunshine...

I hope life isn't a big joke,because I don't get it - Jack Handey

I had a night without ear plugs....

As I fell asleep first..Zzzz

Now I have the dreaded cold and cough back once more...

I'm covered head to toe with Vicks again...

  I was up and ready for the tea, no nudge needed...

 Gave hubby a big 💋 before he left for work.

I meanwhile had to get up as I was off for a visit to the hospital...

Sun was coming up when I left.

 

 It didn't take too long to the hospital.

I think I missed the rush hour...

 As it was getting warm,

off the come the winter hat and scarf.

 If I am very lucky, I could be out in 20 minutes and not pay the £2.50 parking charge!

I gets in, picks a number, before I could whip my phone out to take the photo of it, I was called in. Blood taken, and out I went.

Can you believe it????

I just got out in under 20 minutes!

No fee to pay!!!
