The cafe, which is always busy, has been enlarged and theres a section set aside for dogs which is nice.

I believe that, in Japan, the cafes have have sections just for dogs. Dalmatians are supposed to be a particular delicacy .

That's them come back to finish installing fibre along our pavement. They did half way along then disappeared a few weeks ago but it's getting done now. A bit noisy with the stone cutters and digger but hopefully not take too long.

I've just been round to the Co-op for a few things. I saw a man I know from walking who was walking with a limp. I thought he had hurt himself but he has had a stroke. That's the third person I know recently who has had one.

Yeah - I had a small one in January
not as much fun as it sounds!!!

(was a funny bit when the doctor came to tell me what it was just as the nurse was taking my blood pressure
she said "we have confirm that you have had a stroke - only a minor one called a TIA
then the nurse said what my blood pressure was
and the doctor sad "your blood pressure is quite high"
I said "well you have just told me I have had a stroke so I'm not sure that is its normal level!!
still ended up of blood pressure tablets - no idea if I need them!)

Just cut the lawn

Don't think I could manage a whole one; I'll just have a sandwich instead.

@PeteXXX get down the the garden centre quick...

Most stuff half price. Just picked up a nice shirt. Shelves already looking Spartan so get jiggy, although the sporty type clothing looks well stocked.
