Mundane News

Dawn is getting noticeably later every day now and it was 0740 before the sun popped above the hills opposite this morning.

Another day of lots of things I should be doing but cannot really get round to. I am trying to get rid of all sorts of surplus items but it find it hard for vaguely sentimental reasons.
I could advertise a lot for sale but cannot be bothered with people coming to the house. What is needed is a car boot sale where I can load up the car and just get on with it.
Anyway I can go and try the Virgin Money ATM as apparently unlocking my credit card cannot be done on just any old ATM.

I'm on M25 - it'll be Christmas before I get home.

Is WAZE bust? No hint not a word!

Update: 8 hours from South Wales to Kent!
Deduct 30 mins when I was mugged for a pee and a coffee at services.

Good morning from a cloudy, damp, windy & chilly Suffolk. Looks like there was a little bit of rain overnight and another shower has just finished, but nothing like the deluge that was forecast (again).

Coffee has been had with the last of the 'shorties' biscuits from the pack and most of the morning has been spent catching up with the news and listening to the radio. Breakfast is up next, followed by a few domestics and then I'll see about getting into town for the free drink and the weekend's food shopping on the way back.

The trolley app has Asda B&M and Morrisons listed all at £1.40.

No Asda or B&M locally and Morrison's is very hit and miss (mostly miss)

They've been doing that a lot round here, Fosse Rd and Groby Rd both shut but to be fair there's a Lidl and an Aldi nearby plus the Glenfield Co-op is now a Morrisons. If they shut the one near us it will be a pain as that has had a busy post office in it for as long as I've lived here and the next closest is miles away

As this CoOp is superstore sized with a large spare space (former bakery), my suspicion is that when Sainsburys take it over they will then close the stand alone Argos in town and bring it in house in this spare area. In one way this would be a good thing as the CoOp has a very large car park attached while the Argos doesn't, but then there will be a large empty building at the other end of town if it does happen.

We will be going along to an AGM at the museum this afternoon. I've never been to an Angry Goat Management class before.

I've been to the doctor's to hear the results of all of my tests. Nothing to worry about the Lymes disease as it seems to have been in the past. I had 2 brain scans as the first picked up something which needed a bit of further investigation. My wife suggested that might have been caused when I had a massive gastric bleed. The doctor wants me to go for a memory test next. Where am I ?
It's the test that I'm worried about as it seems a bit fuzzy these days.

Wet walk to the gym this morning lucky the umbrella kept the worse off. The walk home was dry which was a nice bonus but was still a cold wind blowing. Stayed dry on my Call into town until the walk back with light rain the wind making it feel a lot wetting.
A few job at home to do toady , they can wait till later once Mrs 73 has gone off to work. Better get Charlie's meds done and see if he wants a walk around the block. Then time for .

I am on Amlodopine and no side effects noticed. Are you willing to tell us what these side effects are?
I realise you may not want to reply and that is OK.

I found on the Internet that women suffer more then men from Amlodipine.
1. Very bad swelling of ankles and feet.
2. Constant and urgent need to urinate and inability to hold it. I have about 5 seconds to reach wc. Luckily wc at home is next to my room and wc at work is within hands reach from my desk.
3. Easy bruising. That one isn't very annoying apart from when it scared the life out of me when I woke up one morning with a huge bruise on the leg and it took me a few seconds to remember how it appeared there.

We popped up to the Church Hall in Broadstone as it is McMillan Coffee Morning.Walking back down the hill we were passed by a bride and groom in all their finery. They were seated in an open topped bubble car, the bride was holding a parasol to keep the wind / drizzle away. 😎

My Virgin Money credit card still still not working so back into the branch. Staff member came back out with me to check I was not doing something silly but that still did not work.
They cannot unlock the card in branch but she requested a new pin no. to be sent. I won’t get that for a while as I am off on my hospital visits next week. Getting a request done in the branch is much easier than doing it online and they seem to need less id information.
As I turned to leave she said “ see you later” then we both laughed when I replied “ I hope not!”

A beautiful sunny fresh morning so along to the chemist to pick up medication. Two items missing but apparently there is a huge pile of prescriptions at the surgery waiting on a signature. I got the missing items anyway under some arcane procedure to save me another trip down.

Knock at the door turns out to be the house painter at last with his bill. Fortunately I had just got cash this morning to check my debit card pin so that is settled.

I thought I'd entered a Time Warp today whilst driving from Norwich to Newmarket...
First, a small red car with a very large Christmas tree strapped to the roof. Then two snow ploughs on the A11..

Correct me if I'm wrong: it is still September, isn't it? 🤔
