Dry but overcast with a brisk wind. Not too cold but by tomorrow according to the forecast we are in for a cold spell.
Need to take samples up to the surgery and then some stuff to go to the charity shop container. Gradually decluttering but a lot has sentimental value to me and it is hard to dump it.
A Jethart Handball from my date of birth which was presented to my parents when I was born is one such.
I do have quite a lot I would sell but really need a local car boot sale for that. In addition I have a Bike Friday, a Brompton and an Ice Adventure which nobody here will expect to pay a reasonable price for. Possibly could try them in Oban where I could deliver.

A tumour one centimeter in diameter is still a problem, but it is shrinking.
