SQUISH... OR NOT?

 Today I'm supposed to have my regular mammogramme.

But, as our region's District Health Board got hacked a week ago, and is still down; I am wondering if my appointment stands?

I was thinking all would be back to normal today, but according to the News it will be another week before all is back up and running properly.

So... I'll wait until 9 am, and then ring the clinic to see if they are still running to schedule or not.

If my appointment stands, it's not till this afternoon, which means I don't have to jump out of bed too early.

And that's neat, cos I am not in the least inclined to get up early today.

If I go for a walk, it won't be until much later on this morning. 

And that's me for now, I'm gunna roll over and read the news in bed.  I might even get myself a Caramel Latte to drink in bed.

12 noon:  And my morning went slightly different to what I had planned.

I had just stepped out of the shower and my phone rang.

It was the Breast Screening Clinic, asking if I could come in this morning?

They had canceled all their morning appointments due to the Cyber Attack on the hospital, so wanted to get all the mammogram appointments done this morning instead.

So, I threw me clothes on and off I went.

ABOVE:  I was very surprised to find the car parking building wasn't charging to park in there!  Maybe that's something to do with all the computer systems being down?

Either way, it was neat, even though I had to go right to the top to find a car park.

ABOVE: This little, innocuous looking building... bound to make any woman wince just thinking about going in there!  I certainly did.

But, it wasn't too bad.

The lady who did my screening was very careful and considerate.  I was in and out again in less than half an hour.

On my way home I stopped and had a walk along the river bank:

ABOVE:  It was just me and the ducks.  And they were all curled up trying to keep warm.

ABOVE:  Not many leaves left on the trees... full on winter soon.

ABOVE: The river is still fairly low, but it won't be long before it's fuller. It's just so pretty down along the river bank with all the autumn colours still.

ABOVE:  Lunchtime.  Left overs turned into a toasted sandwich.  Nice and warm on a cool day.

5.45 pm:  I've spent my afternoon doing some housework, grocery shopping, and some sewing.

Might get to me jig saw tomorrow.

I've got beef meatballs simmering in a Sweet & Tangy sauce, and they will be over Udon Noodles.

Followed by a small pottle of Salted Caramel Chocolate Mousse.  Cos that's what I feel like!

No point denying a craving, you just make it worse.

Dinner was very yum.  Dessert was too.  I'll share that tomorrow... cos it's worth sharing it!

Time to wrap up the day, I'm slowly getting colder and colder, so going to bed soon.
