A couple of supermarket 10p carrier bags would make for waterproof shoe covers...stylish too

Thanks to our style influencer for that hint.

My pleasure.
3 years of engineering at college, 20+ years as a technical designer...it's finally paid off

Thinking of heading to the local garage for lunch foods, I've got a huel shake but not sure it's going to cut it today

I just managed to have 2 appointments at the same time with the same nurse. That's a first for me. And a second, now I come to think of it. The receptionist phoned me to call me back for the 2nd 11:50 appointment just after I had left the building from my 1st 11:50 appointment.

I was asked to use the take your own, height, wait and blood pressure machine. They're like a modern version of those ''Speak your weight'' machines. So, coming in out of the rain in a fairly busy GP's waiting room, I was handed a token, and I had to take my shoes and watch off and stick my wrist into an inflatable sleeve. These are not the most relaxing conditions to take a blood test. Particularly as the PA system called me to my appointment (early!) as the machine was still taking my BP. 113 over something. So that was ok but the machine assessed my height as 30 cm short of my actual height.

Proper rain, by the way, not just that half-hearted mizzle, drizzle, pizzle stuff they've been serving up lately.

Rain's stopped, but for how long?

Not long enough

Decided against heading to the garage, opted to eat more fruit and will have my huel shortly.
Oh and made a cuppa tea, unfortunately I don't have any biscuits
