Notification of an appointment for an ultrasound scan of my gall bladder has come through. It's in a month's time. Still waiting for an urgent specialist appointment to follow up on the abscess problem however. Minor improvements continue. The wound is definitely drying up now and I can sit down properly without much discomfort for most of the time.
This afternoon I walked to Blackweir bridge as the sun reached the horizon and took a few photos. It was just mild enough to be outdoors without a topcoat. Most of the trees still have their leaves, and they are green, a little darker than usual, like they often are mid-August. Few have fallen, there are just occasional patches of brown and yellow leaves in the canopy of trees around Pontcanna Fields.
On my way there, I noticed a group of footballers arriving in their kit for an evening kickaround. Noticed them because everyone shook hands with each other before they started to warm up. As I came closer, I realised they were speaking Spanish. You often hear cricketers in summer speaking Asian languages, most likely Urdu, on the Fields in the summer. One of the delights of our diverse city where, to judge from the number of daily joggers and cyclists a large number of the population are sports mad.
A lovely evening, but night time seems to arrive early at a pace. Perhaps I notice this because I've spend so much more time indoors recently. I don't look forward to winter darkness, and the clocks going back.
