during my lunch break today I have to drive 20 min to a bank (& back) & withdraw $2K I got from Dad to put toward my dental bill & get a bank check. my Dentist assured me the work we're doing will take me to my grave. just hope I get my money's worth, meaning pay off the bill before I use the grave!

"Work we're doing"!
If it were me doing any part of the job, I'd be seeking a discount/my share of the money.

Right, time to get myself sorted out and tootle off into town to run a few errands.

Wilkos and Tesco on the agenda.

Not a full shop in the latter (I'll leave that till Saturday) but because I'll have stretched it to three weeks between main shops and not topped up on anything, I'm tight on a few items. Plus the fact I quarantine everything means I do have to think ahead a little bit more than I otherwise do.

As long as the work doesn’t accelerate the grave bit

A blue tit was checking out one of our bird boxes 😎

That's early. Great news though.

Errands in town successfully negotiated. Well, mostly. The only two items I couldn't get was my usual choice of toilet roll (in the big packs of 24) and a draught excluder strip for the door.

I bagged basmati rice on clearance at 66p a kilo, stocked up on milk and fruit and bought a big bottle of chilli sauce on yellow sticker.

Happy Reynard

The stars are in alignment, tomorrow..
It is both Black Bin Day and Ernie Day!

I hope the bin men empty it and Ernie fills it up

Thanks to your post which I read at 2330 last night - I realised I’d forgotten to put mine out, and the bin men were really early this morning.

We've just watched the Portrait Artist of the Year programme and don't the judges talk a load of rollocks!

Just because an artist can capture a good likeness of a person they dismiss it .

I was just saying exactly the same thing to my family as we watched the same episode this evening. The girl who painted the oval portrait was totally robbed!

Busy morning, so far!
I've squirted some GT85 on the door hinges around the house as a few were a bit squeaky.

I use GT85 on all our interior door hinges. Have to be really quick with the kitchen roll though, to wipe up the dark runs before they dry on the white paintwork.
