Brilliant idea!
People will be able to go to the Pharmacies instead of the doctors for minor ailments!
The queues for getting your prescriptions will almost be as long as those wanting to an MP!

I'll let you fill in the gap!

We have had that in Scotland for some time now. No idea how long but I think probably a couple of years.

About midday the weather changed and sun appeared for a nice sunny afternoon and evening.
Took some stuff up to the dump where the charity shop have a container for donations. I doubt I will be making home brew beer again so somebody else can have the stuff.
The road was being resurfaced but I managed to get in and out with a 50 yard margin just before the machinery moved further down the road.
Could I suppose sell it but cannot be bothered with the hassle.
Nothing else of note done.

I've fitted new shoe laces. They're 75cm when 60 would have been better for these shoes 👟 but that's all the shop had.

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with pate, the other with sliced avocado, plus an apple, a pear, some blueberries and two

Busy afternoon in the kitchen again. Dealt with some veggies that were looking a bit tired - they're about to be wanged into a quiche so they shouldn't develop language skills. Turned half the beef mince I bought on Saturday into Filet Americain (steak tartare), put aside a dollop for the girls and fried off the rest. Also made a loaf of bread as the parental wanted a gift for someone. That's just got chucked in the oven. Plus sorted out a couple of other culinary bits & bobs.

The girls have been fed, and soon it will be time to feed me.

Spent the evening trying to tidy up my tiny storeroom. I've managed that okay, but now the rest of the apartment is infested with boxes.

Just started my 3rd cuppa of the day made with Soya milk which is passable

Having got the basic domestics done this morning and now sporting the summer aerodynamic haircut, I was considering a pub lunch instead of carrying on with more housework when I got a reminder about a team meeting at work. I've not been to one for a few months so, despite it being my non-working day, I opted to go in to see what was decided. I really should have gone out for lunch instead.

It's drizzling yet again here - which is better than the deluge accompanied by thunder & lightning we had a couple of hours ago.

 

[biggs682]

We also had thunder and lightning earlier a real mixed bag of weather

If this weather continues, I'll end up doing the Fandango...

Lovely supper of homemade quiche* plus a beetroot salad and coleslaw.

* used up the following randoms: half a pack of puff pastry, two red onions plus the half lurking in the fridge, a rather tired looking red pepper, an equally tired-looking courgette, the last half dozen cherry tomatoes from previous week's job lot, the remaining third of a ball of mozzarella and a sad-looking end of grana padano. To which I added some extra cheddar, some homemade basil & walnut pesto, half a tub of soured cream and three eggs. Plus salt, pepper and oregano.
