We've been down the local takeaway.

Don't overload the plate. It puts a "do I have to eat all that" message on the brain, whatever you actually think or say.

This is half a normal portion of fish and chips from the Pilton Fryer.....

MrsD had the other half. 🐷🐷🐷

Good morning people, shopping day today, I've also got to go across town later so someone can stick a needle in my arm.We're also starting to get my Good Lady's care package sorted, we don't need four visits a day and are going down to two, in a few weeks we're going to have start paying for it so need to get it sorted. The casualty in all this is my cycling, it looks like I'm going to have to take a break from it.

When I was a full time carer I had problems getting out cycling as my wife could not be left on her own. We had a very good specialist nurse who came nearly every week and became a very good friend of my wife. She always phoned in advance so I could be ready to go as soon as she arrived and she could stay for an hour and would not leave until I got back. At least it kept my legs from seizing up.

Ooohh yum yum

Mushy peas!

Do they tell you which one you’re getting, or is it a case of whichever is available and if you have to wait you know it’s been the Pfizer one?

I did not ask and nobody said which I got but due to transport away from a main hub it would have been the Astra Zeneca one. I was told to wait in my car for 15 minutes before travelling home. No idea where they put those who came on foot as there is not much spare room at the surgery. There were a couple of meet and greet girls [yes girls] wandering around keeping an eye on those in cars in between checking people in.

I do them on the ipad so they won’t run out. I suspect the chances of doing a proper jigsaw wouldn’t be great with Molly in the house. Probably be pieces scattered everywhere.

Somebody locally on FB is asking for anyone with a large pane of glass to sell or loan to lay over a jigsaw when not being looked at to avoid pet problems.
