Your mention of Sausages reminded me of this shop which I spotted on Tuesdays excursion to Weymouth. I'm not sure if the uploaded photo gets downsampled, but there's a lot of info if you zoom in. The " Foo King Hot " sausage with "every mouthful loaded with Birds-eye chillis " next to Elvis caught my eye.

The one that caught *my* eye is the Big Willy

I picked up six trays of sausages on yellow sticker on Sunday. One tray's gone in the crock pot, going to oven bake two later this evening for lunchtime sausage sandwiches, and the remaining three are going to be squeezed into the freezer.

or bake a potato if you have one & can wait that long. hmmm almond croissant ...

Baked sweet potatoes with tea tonight .

Hope you feel better soon @Reynard I've just ruled out covid and finally succeeded in a "routine" prescription renewal that took 12 days, two trips to the surgery, one phone call to the surgery and three trips to the pharmacy.

I gave up using the local pharmacy after several episodes just as you describe above.

I now use Pharmacy2you, and it is sooooo much easier. Order on line, and they pop them in the post in packets that will go through a household letter box.

Tomorrow a bit more decorating in the church hall.Two pieces of lining paper over the repaired damp wall.A bit of sandpapering some polyfilla down,then a tickle with a brush of emulsion paint to block it out.An easy day,then I am going in on a Friday only and just slowly doing a bit at a time till it's decided we have done enough.Glad to say it will be paint pot and brush only, nothing heavy or large like a whole room.

Time for a and a chocolate biskit.

I have been struggling to concentrate, so don't want to do anything on the Higman's bodywork as it's too exacting. So am messing around with some prototypes for the front wishbones instead. If the idea doesn't work, it's no biggie.

I pulled the curtains.

To be entirely fair, it was almost entirely the surgery’s fault. The surgery didn’t action my renewal request because the computer said that I hadn’t had an asthma review recently (I had, six weeks ago, but they hadn’t ticked the box). Then they didn’t tell me that they hadn’t actioned it, so I only found out that something was wrong when I turned up at the pharmacy to collect it the requisite week later. The pharmacy then dispensed a single inhaler that I hadn’t requested and nothing that I had…. And it just got worse from there on. The pharmacy didn’t have a hope of having my meds ready for me when they hadn’t actually been sent the prescription, such a waste of everyone’s time.

Are you taking them out on a date then.

Yep, I remember much of that. Dad was a chain smoker. Mostly rollups, but he'd also smoke either Camels, Gitanes or Belgas.

Part of my novel is set in the late 80s / early 90s, so yes, some of my characters smoke.

On our continentsl visits in the distant past we came back with the maximum permitted amount of Gauloise and Gitane.
Not smoked now for many years and younger son nagged my wife until she stopped.

Perils of island life again.
Warnings of ferry cancellations and/or delays due to high wind tomorrow. Our ferry continued to sail today and I thought tomorrow was to be less windy.
Lots of other ones were cancelled but the new ( to us) ferry got a lot of sceptical opinions regarding reliability in bad weather. The crew may be pulling out all the stops to prove everybody was wrong regarding reliability. The crew are mostly island based as well which may help.
Just as well I have somewhere to stay with a fridge for some of my shopping if I am stuck.

Pasta on the go and bopping around to some Keane from yester year. God I'm getting old

Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
