Haggis, Neaps and Tatties

[Monday 6th October]
Moved desks at work today - only a few metres away from where my old desk was, but a much nicer spot as it is less of a thoroughfare.

I had a hospital appointment around lunchtime. I'd obviously expected after my hernia repair back in July to have a bit of discomfort for some time, but when I was still experiencing discomfort in late September I was a bit concerned, so went to see my GP a week or so ago. My GP said it was probably scar tissue from the operation, but did notice a very small "cough response" as they call it on the other side, so thought I ought to go back for another scan just in case - hernias do apparently have a nasty habit of going on both sides around the same time. Well fortunately as it turned out today's scan ruled that out, and the radiologist assured me I would not need another operation - it was just scar tissue after all. So that's a weight off my mind - I don't think I'd have been nearly as anxious about going for an operation second time round, but it would have been a huge inconvenience to have to go through all of that again.

In the evening, for no other real reason than there was a lot of swede in the supermarket yesterday, we decided to have haggis, neaps and tatties for dinner. With, as Chie rather endearingly wrote to me in an email during the course of the day, a wee drum. Percussion fans out there may be disappointed to learn this was in fact a typo, and we actually had a couple of whiskies with our meal: drams, not drums.

So that was jolly nice, and even nicer still as Chie pretty much cooked everything, all I did was supervise the microwaving of the vegetarian haggis (which, oddly enough, came in a tin).
