Monday 30th 44F/7C [8.00] Bright and dry but with a veiled sun promised for today.
Up at 7.15 after being up for two hours in the night. I was wide awake at 3am. So got up and watched YT videos.
Physio class.
11.45 54F/12C. Mostly sunny but increasingly windy. Returned from Physio. Where I was feeling good and better able to manage the exercises than last time. I had an hour's chat with the physiotherapist afterwards. Psychological health and bereavement counseling being being part of the service.
My appointment with the ENT specialist, about losing my voice, will not be until the end of November. Two months away. Will I survive that long? Will anybody hear my screams squeaks?
I was going to shop in the newly opened supermarket but the queues were as long as the vast shop. They can always afford the building work, the shopfitting, all the illuminated signs and resurfacing the car park. Then save on employing fewer checkout staff. The money printing, offshore billionaires obviously reason. That once a shopper has a basket full and wasted half an hour on self-service. That they won't just drop the basket and run. As I did today. The moment I saw the queues. With only two checkouts open I turned tail at the door.
I have finally got around to tidying the contents of the old car. Which I scrapped a little while ago after years of service. The "junk" had been languishing in a wheelbarrow with a tarpaulin over the top. Not my brightest moment given the recent record rainfall. Yes, you've guessed it. The wheelbarrow was full of water.
The contents weighed down and very, very wet. Ten assorted pairs of work gloves [don't ask] are now hanging on the line in the greenhouse. The Morris has gained a screw jack and a modest set of basic tools in an oilskin folder. Oh, and a set of jump leads. Which have never been used in anger.
Dinner was a salmon pasty, peas and boiled potatoes. I lit the stove to warm the room. It reached 67F/19C by the time I let it go out.
