h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No not the 80's pop group the state of the weather.Been pouring down since last night.Might be time to see if the kitchen table floats just in case...anyone got a canoe?
Oedipus is sulking because I removed his stinky blanket and replaced it with a clean one. The smelly hairy blanket is in the wash...no doubt clogging up the drain with cat hairs...sigh.
I am trying to rest today so have only done two loads of washing and baked some scones.
Tomorrow I am not looking forward to It's going to be a hot day and I am not allowed to take any medication for 12 hours before my hospital appointment. I have to get two buses ,a train and then another bus or taxi to get there as it's in Newcastle. I then have to have tests and see the specialist and have been told to expect to be there for 2 hours.Then I have to do it all again to get back home in rush hour. Though daughter may be able to pick me up at the station,so may not be too bad.I hate hot weather, it feels like I am suffocating and with no inhalers etc I am going to be in a right state when I get to the hospital.
Still once it's over I will be able to relax for the rest of the week and recover.
It's Nessie's birthday on Saturday..she will be 24! I can't believe it..where have all the years gone?
We had no telephone at the weekend because of water in the boxes or something. The second engineer got it working. The first one looked about 6 years old and was very sweet. He had to come back yesterday to collect his equipment he left behind.
Yesterday afternoon I opened the door to be greeted by " I have some nice biscuits"...The Ringtons tea man! I refrained from saying I am sure you have young man but I would prefer some tea bags . The one thing I missed when I wasn't living in the North...the little chap with his basket of goodies. They make good strong tea everyone says.
Well better go and stop a very wet Baggins ,who has just gone past, from rolling himself dry on the beds

There was one good looking doctor..but I never got to see him.. I had to go to the lab for tests. Felt a like rat under a microscope. The specialist said " this is very interesting from an academic point of view"...humpf is all I can say.
