Joining the RACV

Today, I joined the RACV. That is the Royal Auto Club of Victoria.



It was raining when I drove to work this morning and unfortunately, I forgot to switch off my headlights and so must have flattened the battery. A friend suggested that I join the RACV to get automotive assistance. I signed up for two years.

Thankfully my battery came back so I did not have to call for assistance but I am glad I am now a member as I may need their services in the future.

Back to hospital

Hello folks. It has been a while since I posted a blog up here so lets recap. On the 6th May, which was last Wednesday, I returned to  Bendigo Hospital. I needed follow up surgery from my big operation last year. I needed to have a Stoma removed from my right hand side.

Well, the operation went well. I spent five days on the hospital wards but I am home again now and feeling much better for it. I will resume work on thursday.

I do need to take it easy for a few days just to give my bowels a chance to readjust.

I had some good news in the after noon. I got a phone call from the Energy Ombudsman. I have had an ongoing dispute against my energy provider who were charging me for a gas account even though I do not use gas. The Ombudsman has seen the issue my way and has wants to have the gas account closed off. Good news again.

Other than that, It is getting cold down here once again.
