Good morning all, very cold but we have SUN 🌞 I much prefer conditions like this, but snow will be another matter, not sure if we will get any here. Have a good day all.
Framlingham is lovely. Their castle is in much better nick than ours (same owners once upon a time).
Quiet day yesterday as a busy week this week. We will be discussing the imminent closure of the Boots by the doctor's surgery this afternoon's meeting. Hopefully someone from the surgery will be able to attend so we can ask them what their plans are. There is another Boots in the centre of town - but no parking outside. Everyone in town is talking about it. My hope is that we can get some information out there (including how to have meds. delivered via an online chemist) and to arrange 1 hour's free parking in the car parks. We have half an hour now, but we all know that it can easily take longer than that to get one's meds!
Afternoon everybody. Sunshine but bitterly cold outside. Had to hand write a prescription request and take it down to the Surgery this morning - could only see three prescriptions when I tried to do it online and two of those I don't take any more. I think I have repeats for at least 7 now much to my horror but if they're keeping me alive, I shouldn't complain. I'm gradually reducing the steroid dosage as instructed but hoping my aches and pains don't return. It has been so good not to ache so much these last six months.
I've put some washing on and handwashed my sequinned Christmas jumper which I've put out on a clothes hanger outside the kitchen window where I can keep an eye on it - it's quite a stiff breeze today. A brake light has gone on the car and despite OH having a go at replacing it, has found it too difficult so it's off to the garage after lunch.
It seems like Boots are closing an awful lot of their pharmacies @didyw, an hour's free parking would be a godsend for the town in those circumstances. Fortunately our tiny local pharmacy (formerly Boots) was taken over by a local independent pharmacy and is much more efficient. It's near enough to walk to which is good.
Have a good trip back @Busy-Lizzie. Has your OH thought any more about applying for the visa? I'm sure the grapevine will manage without the winter pruning.
Thanks Dove - yes, that Mark Steel broadcast is hilarious! Were you part of Circle 67 by any chance? They perform a Shakespeare at the castle every year.
Enjoying the sunshine here, and done miles of walking, along the front and also up to the Cross of Benidorm, fabulous views from the top, worth the hike.
Having my hair done this afternoon, don't usually have time to have long leisurely appointments so I'll enjoy that.
Safe journey back @Busy-Lizzie, absolutely agree with you about Brexit, caused nothing but inconvenience for me too.
Hope everyone else is able to enjoy your day.
