I've been a bit lax this month, but it's still been quite cold and wet, so had that winter syndrome and the Hay fever doesn't help does it!.
Friday I went to the Snipe for bird food at Home Bargains cheapest there, and whilst there had to have a bacon buttie at O'Neilds buttie wagon.
That's what you call a bacon buttie!.
Saturday it was off to pear Mill where the staffing was better this week so didn't have to leave my friends to help out this week!, though as I said before I did rather enjoy it the week before.
I got home about 2-00pm and there on the door mat was a letter from the Doctors with my referral for my NHS hearing aids to attend on Saturday 29th April at the Hyde branch of Specsavers!.
I phoned Specsavers and asked if it was possible to change the appointment to the Denton branch in Sainsburys?
The young lady said "No problem, in fact if you can get there in the next half hour, you can be seen today!!".
I was there with 15mins to spare and it was the lady who fitted my aids when on loan, and said at last the doctors came though!.
She overhauled my aids, fitted new tubes and gave me a couple of spares, a poking out rod and a couple of packs of batteries!.
I went home like a dog with two tails, they really have changes my life.
I was telling her about a chap I was talking too at the Snipe who had NHS aids like mine and said the only thing was they charge you £75 pounds if you lose one, I said if I lost one I would expect to be charged as I would be an idiot losing it in the first place, to which he replied, "I've lost two" to which I said "Enough said", The lady said it was £68 to replace a lost one!.
This past week friend Jean has got her new hearing aids and we have both had our 6th Covid jabs, this was the spring program for 75s and over. So as I'd booked in friend Bob for his jab as well, I'd booked it for 5mins after mine, and we sat together to give in our details and as Bob had on coats and jumpers and had to strip off I was humming "The stripper" which caused a laugh!.
Today it was off to Reddish Vale and it was a really nice day for a change.
Likes the monkey nuts.
Heron fishing on Sunnyside pond.
Looked Purple in the sunlight.
Mandarins on the banking enjoying a snack.
I future Chris Packham?.
Then it was off to Morrison's for fish and chips, though I have changed my allegiance to Sainsburys, no one can hold a candle to Morrison's fish and chips and I only have the mini version!.
Tea tonight, Bob!.
Finished another Wooden model this past week too, but I knew early on in the build it was never going to walk ,still enjoyed the build and it will look nice on display.
...............................................
So a weekend enjoying the birds singing and wondering what all the other noises are that I've never heard for years, the NHS hearing aids have really come on in the last few years, you can buy them at Specsavers but why would you if you can get a doctors referral?!.............................................................
