I had an appointment with the doctor this morning to find out my cholesterol levels and I ended up being put on statins so I am officially getting old.
Apparently my cholesterol is only a little high and of that, the good cholesterol (whatever that is) is very high so the really badly behaved cholesterol is not as high as first appears.
It seems as though the doctor thinks that statins are a good idea anyway.
We went down to Kirkwall as Maddy wanted to go to the library but once there she was whingy so we got her some books and departed. The library here is very good and is bucking the trend. Library use is rising. It is a really nice design for a modern building and has good facilities so there are always loads of people of all age groups in there.
We then had to get back home as the people were due to empty the loft and put the loft insulation under one of the free schemes.They took out all the old doors which had been accross the joists of the loft so we put them in the shed so that we could put them across the joists in there.
We were thinking of taking Maddy on a boat trip round Scapa Flow but on checking the price of hiring a boat we decided that there was sure to be something more enjoyable that she could do so we went to the beach at The sands of Wright and built a stone house just to confuse future archeologists.
The digger that dug the foundations has reappeared after being removed for a couple of days but I do not know what for so we will wait and see what they need it for.
