Thur, Feb 15th

Dawn was off work sick today (see yesterday's entry). She's had a rough few weeks between a day off due to hospital appointment and licence application, trains broken down on her commute route, and snowbound Hertford. Now she was off sick!

I, on the other hand, had a ride up to Holloway to see Dad and take him to the Whittington Hospital for a blood check and visit to the clinic to assess his latest INR. Again, this INR was all over the show. When he left the hospital last week it was 2.7 and today it was 5.8. They want him to be around 3.5. He has to adjust his tablets and go back again next week to see if he can bring it down.

I have also been on the phone with a window company and a local garage, as we are trying to sort out a window, and get an MOT on our car. Both were a big disappointment as both made appointments only to cancel and re-arrange them for some reason or other.

An MOT certificate is required for all cars over three years old. It certifies that the car is road worthy. Without a valid MOT certificate, one can not get road tax certificate. And without a road tax certificate on your car, you can not drive it on the road!
