Day 3

Yesterday the hedge was taken out and another skip arrived, and today there has been more digging of the patio area.  It is being dug by hand and has been really hot the last couple of days, so I am impressed with how hard they have been working! They even took my package that arrived today which was rather handy :-)


Hedge has gone!

Seb is finding it all very interesting and I let him out this evening under supervision (otherwise he will just go into the neighbours garden).   He spent about 5 minutes working out how to get over to the grass and has found if he jumps in the trench there is a shallower part he can jump back out of at the moment.  He also is so cute because keeps going to the side of the trenches and digging delicately at the soil - maybe I should just leave him out during the day and he can help the workmen.  He would really be like the site manager I think - just keeping an eye on things.

Paws gently at edge to check quality of workmanship


Walks around the trench to assess whether all dug to correct depth

Yes, it must be deep enough because I can't see out!


Survey complete - jumps out and head inside for dinner

I have a date for my CT scan - 14th September - so not long.  I am feeling ok though and I think the cough has been better the last couple of days so hopefully is nothing at all.   I took Seb a really long walk at the country park this afternoon and I think I would have struggled had there been anything going on with my lungs.

I had a letter back from my travel insurance, still refusing to pay out for the medication I had to buy when we were delayed in Florida.   They just reiterated that prescriptions are not deemed to be a medical emergency, even though I explained at length about how much of an emergency stopping anti rejection medication actually is.  I am just so angry because of how much I paid to make sure I had travel insurance and they are quibbling over a few hundred pounds.  Needless to say Air France have also refused to pay out for any of the hotel/food costs either - we have written to the AUC but have not heard anything yet so I must try and chase that up again.  Mum thinks I should write to the Judge in the Sunday Mail about the travel insurance - I might just do that because I am sure bad publicity would be more of a problem for the company than me writing to the ombudsman.

Anyone with an ounce of sense would realise it would have been a lot more costly to the insurance company had you NOT bought more anti-rejection meds. Idiots. Ahem, I am getting really annoyed on your behalf!

Glad you are feeling less coughy. Fingers crossed the CT is clear and it is all post virally rubbish that will clear up soon.

Take care xxx

Hi, Just love the photos of wee Seb!! The work is coming on a treat! It has been very hot here too, brilliant weather. Long may it continue. Glad you have got a date for your scan. Hopefully by that time your cough will have gone! Still best to get it checked out won't do any harm. I totally agree with your mum about contacting The Judge. As for Air France.... well! See you tomorrow lol xx

I am pleased to hear and see that all is going well with the renovation project, yay! I do hope the CT scan goes ok and no bugs are lurking. It does get on my nelly that these companies fail to read individual cases and just seem unable to comprehend that this situation was totally beyond your control. Think your mum has a good idea there hun!

xx :-)
