Eat too many of them and you'll be like a buoy?

Except buoys don't normally sink.

It's Wednesday, I'm going out later.

Guess where.

Finally managed to sort out the MIL's TV - got a phone call last week that it was flickering. Went round and discovered it wasn't the 'late' FIL's dodgy wires, but the TV failing - older Samsung LCD (not LED).

Anyway, just picked up a 43" Toshiba for her - bit of an upgrade from 32", but she will be able to see it better. Her face lit up when she saw it. She had a mild panic over the buttons, but they are all in the same place as the Samsung, but she uses SKY anyway. "Do I still need this" (pointing to the SKY remote) - yes carry on as usual. Just use the new remote to switch it on.

My mother periodically tells me she has no sound, since I live 150 miles away it's difficult to deal with. Usually it comes OK after a few days or a friend visits & fiddles. Once or twice she's spoken about a new one, but when she looks she doesn't like the narrow frame! If it would go wrong while I am there I could diagnose, but it never does.

The steam engine wasn't Royal Scot after all but Braunton running as Lord Dowding. Just to make things clear as I'm sure you are all confused.

Just wait for him to fall in.

Oh dear, that made me laugh. Actually, in all the time I've been yellow stickering, I've only had two items that have gone straight in the bin.

Don't think I'll try it at Tesco.

I do see random hoardes of people in Tesco milling about near the fresh food counters, took me ages to work out they were waiting for the discounted items to be put out.

Personally I couldn't be bothered, but each to their own.

Ankle is now slightly less swollen after applying ice packs yesterday, some anti-inflammatories seem to have helped too, still struggling to walk but I think it'll be ok in a few days.

Am being much more careful today, who knew putting a bit of seed out for the birds was so dangerous?

Today, I am mostly travelling home to @Hill Wimp
Usually I expect to be in the doghouse, how things change ...,.

It's pouring down here.

You could try a bit of 'low impact exercise' to help speed up the healing, a bike ride for instance.

I am going for a little walk later to the shop, that will be it for today
