I had a head scan this afternoon.. Just to be sure the GP said. I’m not sure if it was to check if I had a brain or to check that nothing extra was there‼️‼️‼️‼️ The lass that did it was lovely. I said I hope she found a brain, her reply was that it was on men they had problems finding them. 😀😀😀😀😀
I’m sure everything is ok but the GP keeps mentioning nasty things about age.😀😀😀😀😀

Hope your results are good.  I liked the nurse's comments ... you should have no problems!

Of course you have a brain Cookie. You talk here nearly every day. It’s the other stuff that might be there also . I think like this. I’m 86 and if there is something else there, it’s going to take about 10 years to get really nasty. At 96 I don’t think I’ll care.
30+ years ago I had a vertigo episode. I went through the same tests that you are having. I’ve had 2 attacks since. I now carry Stemetil tablets, ( Dr advice). One tablet usually stops it. I’ve learned to recognise feeling a bit unstable. This for me is the first sign.
Today I’m going out for lunch with Probus. I’m official photographer for the event.

Cookie too funny saying a KAtie type of day . Seeing DD and an appointment . We considered going to the new huge Mecca shop in the city ! Instead we stopped at a local one , then DD got an extra bonus Beauty loop box , so another trip . Walk this arvo , enjoying the sunshine.

I’ve managed to get a me day. It’s a very frosty morning. When it warms up I’ll plant some Snow Pea seedings, make a couple of chicken and mushroom pies and do some washing. Read my book for book club.

Gym and hairdresser. Trying a new one as my regular one is overseas and won’t be back for a month.

DH and I went to the chemist, then we had visitors for the rest of the day. A kind, young man, that DH taught and built Model A speedsters with was one of the visitors. He kindly did the repairs to our shed roof after the storm the other night. DH had bought the replacement sheets but we couldn’t think of anyone we knew who was young enough to go clambering around on the shed roof. Fortunately he is only in his mid 50’s and still climbs on rooves. (Or do you say roofs now?)

Like Chookie a couple of days ago, I also managed a rare "me" day.  Got some shopping done, hemmed several pairs of trousers and managed to sit and read a chapter or two of my current book.

Well done Marina.
We are going through a very cold spell at the moment so I’ll be staying inside. A little cooking, Marmalade, and Bread and butter pudding. (I found some Panattone left over from Xmas.)
The new hairdresser has a 31 TMX. She doesn’t use it much. I think she will try making some bread now. I’ll check her next week.

It’s freezing this morning. So trying to keep warm . Feels like it’s snowing - has the bitter coldness in the air .

Sounds like all of us Victorians are freezing. 

I didn't get away this weekend - I think I may have blown our car up yesterday - well, there was an awful lot of steam streaming out from under the bonnet, anyway - hopefully just a blown radiator pipe.
