When I was walking out to get some rolls from the Vietnamese bakery I noticed that the flowers are starting at the base of those enormous shoots the Agave sprouted while I was away.
I was working out the statistics for my mini break
I used 972 litres of diesel at an average price of about $1.90 per litre (95p?) and drove 8671 km which works out at about 11.2 litres per 100km which I didn’t think was too bad. The accommodation, ie Caravan Parks, cost me about $640 which I thought was outrageous but they can get away with it at the moment.
I have just about recovered from my bug, though I still feel a bit weak, but I thought I should remind you all that I’m still here - don’t all groan at once!
I volunteer to help with the Breakfast Club at a local Community Centre
A local bakery donates free bread; it is delivered to a central Food Bank which serves the whole town then individual Community Centres, Breakfast Clubs etc collect what they need from there
The person who collects bread for my Breakfast Club will be on holiday next week and I have offered to do the collection, but the problem is that I haven’t done this before, and although I know the general area I don’t know all the small back streets & loading bays
So today I’m having a dry run by walking the route and introducing myself to the Food Bank staff as no doubt everything will be busy about 08-00 on the day
So we’ll see how that goes
It’s that ‘Nephrostomy dressing change’ time of week again. Seems to come around so very quickly …But still, the Sun is shining and I’ll probably take advantage of that one way or another. Perhaps a walk, some work on the outside of the house or even the garden. I’m just so fickle!
Morning all – rain and strong winds last night but some sun this morning
I have to travel to the next county to take my lap top for some urgent TLC so I will be absent for a couple of days (now now stop crying!). There are computer repair shops closer but this is someone I know and trust
A grey and cloudy start down by the seaside, here in Hampshire. “Mrs G” is in a bit of a flap this morning with her SIM card in her phone deciding to pack up and spent an hour arguing with BT. Problem is she also looks after my Father-in-law and uses it to deal with doctors and hospitals etc. Really not a happy bunny.
Meanwhile, I’m not sure what else is going on today, so I’ll leave it for my cup of coffee to decide.
Good Morning everyone, apart from an early solo visit to Tesco and M&S for tonight’s dinner it’s a rest day. Just off to track down a fencing company that just happens to be next to a garden centre…
just back from the dentist as I had what is called a “dry socket” where the tooth was removed from the gum. Hopefully this time it will heal up properly
Well that was a surprise. Drove to the next county to visit my friendly computer nerd - explained the various problems. He nodded said he knew what was causing it, spent 20 minutes tapping the keyboard and said some incomprehensible things - could have been a magic spell incantation for all I know - handed the lap top back all fixed!! Cost? nothing just happy to help!
