Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 17c/63f with a predicted high of 19c/67f, and partly cloudy. Weather app says “The weather is fucking fine. Just don’t put your fucking make-up on while you drive because you’ll poke your fucking eye out.” Sound advice, right?
Over here, toad in the hole is sausages in a Yorkshire Pudding batter, the eggs go in the batter 
Great to hear you’ve been able to get appointments so quickly. I’m sure it will be a relief to everyone when you’ve seen them and got some more info from them.
hippie that is such gorgeous work, you are very talented. I’m glad you were able to get back to doing that too.
It’s laundry day here today, I was thinking to do it yesterday but I got..err…sidetracked!
Good to hear that untangling is going well, and there’s no unpleasantness involved. This is turning out to be one of the easiest divorces I’ve ever read about. Well done! Also, The Funky Biscuit looks like a place I’d spend far too much of my time
I had a lot of catching up to day this morning, you’ve been a chatty bunch and I missed reading yesterday as I was out and about all day. Yesterday was a fundraising day at Pets at Home’s store in Merry Hell, so I was there for a couple of hours. It wasn’t very fruitful but what matters is that we were there and put in the hours as it means we qualify for funding through the P@H Foundation. After that, I came home and got changed, then we went into town for lunch at the Good Chinese Place, and went our separate ways for an hour or so of errnanding. Given the fact it was a pleasant afternoon, we opted to walk into town and do some post-errand pubbing. Well, we have to keep up with the rest of you day drinkers!
I got to The Posada first, had a natter with the barman and took our drinks out to the beer garden. One of the other bars in town must have been having some kind of outdoor event because the music from there was incredibly loud (and not fun either). We had our drinks and decided to go and investigate a couple of different places that had outdoor seating. Thus we began a little adventure investigating places we don’t normally go to! Tried the Royal London, then the Hog’s Head, then the Lych Gate (this one’s on our Wednesday pub rotation if we can find parking close by) and the George Wallis, then we headed back to familiar territory with the Clarendon Hotel and then the Combermere Arms before picking up a pizza and heading home. A very good afternoon out, and we were home in time to give Shadow his medication at the right time of night, and chilled out with a film before bed.
I have no big plans for today aside from doing some laundry. Cats are fed and medicated, litter trays are clean and I’ve had a bath! Laundry’s doing it’s thing, and we have leftover pizza for lunch. 'im indoors is cooking tonight and I know he got something out of the freezer but I’m not sure what it is. I’ll find out later. Off to sloth on the sofa for a while until I have to unload the washer and hang stuff out to dry.
I had fish n’ chips and a pint at London Bridge Pub around the corner before showtime. The crowd was a little older than the outside mob, befitting being fans of a band that’s been around for 35 years.
). I have a target pickup time for Bailey of 3pm, which gives me about an hour of cushion; it’s fine if I get there later, but I’d like to hit that if I can. And I’ll have to go home first, to empty the car and pick up the cushions she uses when riding with me.

, posture when you take it, following carefully the instructions that came with your machine. Here’s a criticical guideline most people neglect to follow from those instructions: … Be still. Allow at least five minutes of quiet rest before measurements. Don’t talk or use the phone….That’s gonna be tricky for you with MIL always around saying “hunh? What’s that? Why are you doing that? Hunh?”
. I use Amazon for that-there are links in the Consumer Reports guides to make that easier than trying to wade through Amazon’s byzantine and self-serving algorithm.
