Chaotic CornerChaotic Corner which gets me accused of making the house look like a dump.  Possibly true.  It’s on the list for Monday’s chores though.  Coffee, visit to Wigan’s armed forces day, shopping and lunch in the pub with C.  Am still feeling shattered from cold and have a glorious kip in the afternoon.

My shoes today

My shoes todayMy shoes today… well some of them.  What should be a chilled day off turns out to be somewhat more complex.  First off the fence gets painted.  Then the washing is done and hung and repeated with the paint spattered clothes.  The whole thing was a three cup of tea job.

Then off to the GPs to argue with the receptionist about an appointment for C and my meds – there are no Pioglitazone 15mg to be had in the country.  Still waiting for an alternative from the GPs pharmacist.

Meet C off the bus, she decides to change GP practice.  Fetch forms, nip to the Tom and Gerry’s because she’s knackered.  Nip to the shop as she heads home.  Pie for tonight and shove on a chilli on for tomorrow.
