Sunny.

My bleary early morning eyes saw a pretty orange streaked sunrise this morning. The morning was noticeably cooler but the sun soon warmed things up. Today was my first afternoon back teaching. We had a fun afternoon talking about, then painting and drawing pets. 

It was lovely to be able to sit outside with my usual cup of tea and a book to catch the last of the evening sun. The butterflies were out but even more noticeable was the buzzing of the bees. 

After days of waiting for phone calls I finally got a date for my op, the 5th of October. I was sure the surgeon had said he would try and do the op the week after I saw him so I rang his secretary to see if there had been some mis-communication. He now says he said 'next month' so Oct is about on schedule. Speaking to the secretary I told her how my symptoms were getting worse so she will  put me on the cancellation list though I still need the pre-op test done first. She did say she would try and get that moved forward so that I would be ready for any cancellation. At the very worst I've only got 4 weeks to wait.
