Wet.

It has been raining all day and I haven't had a chance to get outside. Instead I've had a tidying and cleaning day as well as wrapping up the last of the Christmas presents. I had a good sort out of 2 of the spare rooms and now there is a pile of stuff to drop off at a charity shop tomorrow. As tomorrow will be taken up with going down to Exeter for the spinal block I gave our bedroom an extra clean pulling out all the underbed storage boxes, giving the lids a wipe and then checking to see if I could find any more clothes to get rid of. A big bag of loose polo tops is now waiting to go as I can't see myself wearing them any more. I kept one just in case I ever go riding again and yes I still have 3 pairs of jodhpurs (cream for competing, thermal black for winter and dark blue for everyday) as well as boots and 2 hats though I think our dog ate my schooling whip. So I'm all ready to jump on a horse at a moment's notice should the opportunity arrive. Silly that I don't ride living next door to a stables but the cost is horrendous. I think I should make myself a salad to eat tonight as the hospital sent me the usual nil-by-mouth letter and though having had spinal injections 4 times already I'm certain I won't be having a general anesthetic I don't want to take a chance that it might be different this time. (The letter arrived too late on Friday for me to ring the ward and ask.)
