13.09 Bentonbag: He has an
appointment with a consultant at 08.30 tomorrow morning.
13.14 Miss Doozer: Shall I keep Ferretfingers
company whilst you take Fester to the hospital?
13.15 Miss Doozer: Parking will be
a bastard by the way as the congregations are on. I’m happy to shout you a taxi both ways.
13.16 Bentonbag: I think he’s
planning on the metro
13.17 Miss Doozer: Can he even
see?
13.17 Miss Doozer: I think a taxi
might be safer, given his current love affair with tarmac.*
13.19 Bentonbag: He’s got one good
eye and new shoes.
13.20 Miss Doozer: Be better with
a white cane and a dog.
13.20 Bentonbag: I did mention a
taxi but he harrumphed.
13.21 Miss Doozer: Well so be it.
13.21 Miss Doozer: Let me know
what help you need and when.
13.22 Bentonbag: Will do. Thanks

14.01 Bentonbag: Can we take you
up on the offer to sit with Ferretfingers? If I give Fester a lift in we'll need to leave
at 07.45. Thunderthighs leaves early for
Hextol. Ferretfingers doesn't get up
until about 8.30 on a Tuesday so I should be back in time to take him to
Ouseburn.
14.51
Miss Doozer: Yes, shall I
come over for 7.30? What time do you go
to Ouseburn?
Also any breakfast
requirements/tea/coffee and toast. I
mean he seems like a fairly self-reliant lad.
15.14 Bentonbag: That would be
great. I aim to leave for Ouseburn about
10. Ferretfingers gets himself up and I
give him a glass of fruit juice and a banana for breakfast. Thunderthighs leaves about 7.30.

Up at 7
to leave 7.30ish to drive to RVI (thanks Miss
Doozer for Ferretfingers minding).
Big queue at junction of Claremont Rd and
Hunters Rd so slip into back streets to get to Richardson Rd via Morpeth St.
Foiled as that is gridlocked too.
We're early enough for Fester to get out and
walk, so he does.
I do a Uey and get
home so quickly Ferretfingers is only just stirring and Miss Doozer enquires whether I have a Tardis
or reckless disregard for speed cameras.
Anyhoo.
The
consultant says that there is no sign of a retinal tear but he has had a bleed
which should clear over time. He has an
appointment in a fortnight's time; at 9.30 and Ouseburn isn't on so we can shove Ferretfingers
in the car and then take him somewhere else (or that's the plan).
They did
an ECG, blood pressure etc on Sunday (protocol in A&E for oldies) and all
is well.
He's now
doing stir fry veg with noodles for tea.
Ms Mininglibrarian Is he banned
from squinting at tiny print in old mining records for a bit or good to go?
Bentonbag He'd have
been down yesterday morning if it hadn't been for the drop dilated pupils and
being forced to get up at 7.
Burney
Phew!!
Henlady That’s good news x
Miss Doozer Glad to hear
that usual service will be restored shortly
Mrs Whyte That's great
news
Mrs Poet All is well -
one of the loveliest phrases in the language
Bazoukiboy Good news
