Starts with T

May 23rd – Starts with T

Starts with TStarts with T, the tiny toes of Elsie! First of two days off. Start the day fetching chicken and salad from the chicken shop.  Grab breakfast at Hels Kitchen.  Fetch gloss paint and a brush.  Back home and paint the window sills and steps.

Bit of playing with metadata and cleaning the Fridge before heading to the bus stop to meet herself.  Pint in the Lickers and then a light shop in the Lidl.

My shoes today

May 19th – 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.

In Bloom

In BloomIn bloom, yeah a revisit to the tarty onions.  In other news we watch Ken Burns’ ‘The Vietnam War’ as I sort out the chromebook.    Need to go shopping and sort lunches for the week.  Back to lates from Monday and it’ll be an exhausting week.

Brief shop, lunch at the Tom and Gerry after an abortive attempt at the Gobin.  Visit the coffee shop and round it off at the Lickers.
