Itching to get back on my bike's
Location
Northamptonshire
Have been sleeping with a 13.5tog
 
It's raining ! :ohmy: :angry:
I felt sorry for Georgie last night . He had made himself comfy in our spare bedroom so I just left him there and left the doors downstairs open . As I got ready to get in to bed he came in for a fuss. At one point I thought he would settle but he eventually decided to go off and do his own thing . At 2 o' clock I was woken by a thump on the bed . "Daddy I want to go downstairs but it's dark ! ".
"Ugh!". I got up and carried him downstairs. He doesn't like being carried .

Developments in the Aldi Shop and Go story. The day before yesterday I checked whether they'd got round to sending me a bill. The app said ''You have no receipts''. I checked my bank account, and emails, nothing. They must have written it off, I thought. Of course, yesterday, Aldi started throwing receipts at me, by app and by email. It's a reasonable approximation of what I bought over a week ago but they've missed one item off.

So there you have it: a simple sub-£20 shopping trip turns into an epic retailing adventure with suspense and surprises. My advice if they open one up near you is go to a proper shop with tills and stuff instead.

Apparently I have a broken rear offside coil spring. And an even bigger bill.

May seem a bit trivial but too many people complain about hospital food. I have got far too much experience of it and cannot really fault it. It is mass produced cafeteria type but what else do they expect?
My wife did have a problem at one Glasgow hospital where the food was produced in Wales and transported hundred of miles to Glasgow. That was justified.
St. Joseph has room service, you have a menu and dietary restrictions, but the hospital also only has 140 beds at the most. In The States, you have to be pretty sick to be in the hospital. as I lost 20 pounds, I was on a diabetic medium diet and could have a pork tenderloin for lunch. Which I did, it was quite good. I was there long enough to have had the whole menu.

In Scotland you always get room service and a menu which includes special diets. I did lose a lot of weight on one occasion when I was in for a total of 4 weeks which ended up with one kidney less than I started with.
There was one patient who got a dram of whisky at bedtime as otherwise he would not go to sleep and wandered around with a blanket over his head and shoulders. Imagine wakening up and finding that walking past your bed.:ohmy:
This was a large hospital the Glasgow Western now shut down. Level 7 was where I was which for most was a death sentence.
That was 41 years ago so I did survive.😊
