I certainly try to spot 'food', but sometimes she is just too quick.

Just seen a B52 flying low heading for Fairford . I couldn't take a picture of it as I'm charging my camera battery .

Because I have no bins to put out I've been feeling left out. I think I may have found a solution....

Today's excitement now over. BP seems acceptable and the B12 was completely painless. Nice chatty wee nurse who told me that only those on chemo are getting an extra covid booster just now and the rest of us ancients will be done according to how serious our health malfunctions are.
We also now have a husband and wife doctor team now in residence so there should be more consistency.
The joys of island living again.
This weekend there are hardly any ferries to/from Oban for some obscure reason and the Lochaline boat will run a shuttle service to cope with the extra traffic. This boat is currently broken down so those who travelled down the dreary road to Lochaline either have to turn round and go back or hunker down and hope.

AM?
Hopefully with as few medications as possible.

Any idea if you'll have follow-ups after they let you out?

I have to go in daily for intravenous drugs, so they see me then, but all follow up is with my G.P.. Hospitals seem to think you are better off at home as soon as possible, and my G.P. is in the same system. St. Joseph's is a good hospital, good food as well.

There's easier ways of getting good food.
Onwards and upwards.

Sounds like a bagpipe tune, " The Dreary Road to Lochaline."

Quite true. Although with the only good telly being a classic movie channel, I saw a good deal of movies I have been wanting to see for some time, and some I never heard of.

BeebAmerica shows only Star Trek during the day, it seems.

Sunny and breezy here chez Casa Reynard. I have not turned the oil radiators on this morning as the house it plenty clement enough. I'll turn them on at tea time.

I have had a quiet morning writing, keeping an eye on the news and the F1 testing.

It is time for luncheon.

Lunchtime cuppa going down well
Why can't you slice malt loaf without squashing it

We've got one of those. She's an expert at picking up anything that might be food out on the walk!

This morning she found a brussel sprout and was eating it.



Cassie's quite happy to lick a curry plate clean.

I have a friend whose dogs love eating sheep poo.

Unfortunately he lives on a sheep farm...

*Also sniffing, rolling in...

Time to go to work. Today will be short but interesting as I'm taking a client to visit a possible long term job in a protected workshop.

It's where I used to work, so I'm not sure how my former clients will react...

Okay that was... strange: being in a familiar place from my past with clients I know well, and a client I now work with in a completely different situation.

I got pounced on by several former clients who have a tendency to forget matters like social distancing. Fortunately there are twice weekly tests so I'm pretty sure I won't get Corona...

It was good though, partly to catch up with my former clients and colleagues, but also to remember why I moved on...
