my Mother unit sometimes rests a chuck of bread on top of a toaster hole, it warms it & even browns in on one side

I've tidied the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom, and even found the top of the sideboard.

It did in fact rain nearly all day but not as much wind as forecast. Not big drops but the insidious wet stuff that seems to soak you more effectively.
Our postal service has serious problems.
I went down to the post office which at one stage was where I had a darkroom for my photography sideline. There was a pile of parcels outside where those from outlying areas could root around if they were expecting anything and could take stuff for neighbours who could not get here. I don't think that would work anywhere else.
I went in and asked if anything had come in for me and after the two girls hunted around they found a couple of small packages I was expecting and a couple of letters. One of the letters was a hospital appointment but fortunately fairly far in advance.
Tomorrow one of them is going over to Dervaig public hall for a couple of hours with mail for people to collect.
Apparently RM is going over to electric vehicles but in the meantime the diesel ones are falling apart so no van no delivery and no postman either since they are so disgruntled.
The professional complainers are of course complaining about the ferry ticketing system but most seem to be getting the hang of it now with a few exceptions.
Of course we must not forget that Corran ferry [not Calmac] has been off for ages and not back for a while yet.

Had a lovely luncheon of a sandwich with lox and a schmear, plus a an apple, a banana and two 
Spent the afternoon puttering about in the garden.
Now sat down with a and a chunk of Aldi's dark chocolate. It's actually rather nice, far better than their too-sweet milk chocolate.

It took me about 3 hours and a 4 mile visit to the GPs' practice to get a digital file over to the doctor. It would have been far easier if the doctor had sent me the right address in the first place. Anyhow, in other medical matters, it was a good job I convinced him to authorise another blood test because, instead of a 30% deterioration in kidney function, they're showing as good as they were 8 years ago. Panic over!

reminds me when I went to a Southern US state (from MA) for business, in my 20s. they called me a "Yankee" & if I stayed, I'd be labeled a "Dam Yankee"
needless to say, I didn't stay
