He did what?!

 We've now got a period of fairly settled weather for a few days, according to the forecast....it's bright and sunny this morning, albeit still with a fairly strong cold wind, however, tomorrow the wind is set to drop so we should actually be able to get out in the garden and start doing some work - hoo-blimmin-ray!  There are a couple of large pots containing plants in the back garden, which I want moved to the front of the house - one has quite a nice ornamental grass in it, the other is a shrub - I don't know what, as it's just bare twigs at the moment, but buds are coming out all over it, so it should be nice - hopefully!  However, husband has just informed me that he left his wheelbarrow and sack truck back in the garage at the old house, along with loads of his tools.....I am speechless.  He claims he couldn't bring them as the removal van was full up - well he could have gone back and got them, or brought them here in the car a couple of days before we moved out.  There'll be no point now, as they will no longer be there - we are almost certain that at least 2 of the neighbours will have had them - in fact husband has just now admitted he'd told them they could help themselves to whatever was left.  This is all down to him not getting on with clearing out his garage in the month before we moved....you may remember I didn't discover this until a week before we were due to move, and then he just gave up on it.  I had no idea that he'd left such important (and expensive!) stuff behind.  Well, it's too late to do anything about it now, although it's annoyed the hell out of me.

I've got to get on with trying to sort out the printer this morning, change the cartridge first of all and then try again to get the printer recognised by my laptop and phone, so I can print off the required paperwork.  I have an idea why it wasn't happening yesterday, let's hope I'm right.  

I also need to order our next lot of medications - this new surgery have told us to put in the order 10 days before we need them, which seems a bit excessive.  Our last surgery said 3 days prior, or occasionally 5 days during busy times.  I'm glad we didn't register with Minehead surgery, which is further away than the one we have registered with - a couple of days ago it suddenly closed down, with zero warning - something to do with a failed quality inspection apparently, which doesn't sound good!  A private health provider has apparently taken over, albeit temporarily, I think.  Must have been really worrying for the 12,000 patients registered there, to suddenly be told they had no GP!

Gemma's Person (B) - the conifer hedge isn't a privacy screen, it seems to be simply to separate two areas of the garden, which we don't think is necessary - well, not for our plans anyway.

I didn't sleep at all well last night - I have actually been sleeping a lot better generally since we've moved here, but last night I was lying in bed reading for a couple of hours from about 01.30.  I must have been lying awkwardly holding my book, as I've got up with pain in my neck and shoulder and down my right side. Hopefully it'll loosen up as the day goes on.

  1. Bloomin' heck, how annoying about leaving such important stuff behind, no... actually...infuriating! I would be incandescent with fury at him!
    Take a deep breath Sooze .....
    Sorry to hear you didn't sleep well last night and have woken up in pain. I hope it eases today. Pain is not nice. Sending healing wishes,

  2. I can't even begin to list the things that Alan left behind in his workshop at our Welsh house, he's currently buying all the things he needs as he needs them to do jobs here ... men!!

  3. If you still can't get your laptop and printer to 'talk' to one another, get a lead with the right bit to fit into the printer socket on one end and a USB thing to fit into your laptop on the other end. Then you just join them together with the lead and they can communicate without needing an online connection - this worked for me (I am definitely not a technical person...)

  4. How annoying about the wheel barrow and tools, expensive to replace too.

  5. Aaaargh! I'm not surprised you're annoyed with Him. Oh, well, onwards and upwards! You may be able to pick up the required items cheaply at a car boot sale or charity shop.🤞I hope your theory about the printer is correct and you're soon printing to your heart's content. That's scary about the GP practice. Those poor patients, many of whom will need the GP on a regular basis. Doesn't bear thinking about. xx

  6. Colin was the opposite - he brought everything from the smallholding to Clay Cottage and then when he died I had the job of sorting it all out!

  7. Oh, hun, I didn't mean to tell you what to do. Just offering a suggestion.
    You guys will know what is best for you ,of course.
    If you found out about the wheelbarrow yesterday , last night was probably your brain simmering...just think you could cook on your head sometime. :) snicker

  8. Oh dear, I can just imagine how frustrating that "not bringing" tools and such would be. Harvey is actually slowly giving some tools to the boys. We still have lots here though.

    God bless.
