Just nipped up to the Co-op for a few things. There's a lady that I saw nearly every day in for her Costa Coffee and we used to have a great chat. Used to meet her and her husband out with the dog too. I hadn't seen her for a while but thought maybe I was just there at the wrong time so asked one of the staff who I know to speak to and she said she had passed away suddenly. Bit of a shock. Her husband loved her to bits and must be totally devastated.

Back from hospital.
I got a parking spot but by the time I left every space was full and there must have been a dozen cars circling or waiting for a slot.
While there they stole yet more blood .
I have to have a camera down the throat but will be sedated and they promise I won't feel a thing.
Also they've put me on more tablets 'just in case' there is internal problems with the veins around my gullet.
Hey ho, the joys of getting old.

A question for @Mo1959 .......re your coverless duvet.
1. What together is it ?
2. What capacity is your machine ?
I'm 'thinking of going that route but my washer is on 8Kg.
Ta.

It’s a double and I think it’s just a 4 or 4.5 summer weight one as that’s warm enough for me. Pretty sure my washing machine is just a 7kg capacity.

If I go that route the tog rating confuses me as some say the self adjust from warm in winter to cool in summer.

Afternoon all. Just back from taking my daughter to another job interview, seems to have gone well , fingers crossed . It was a win for me as I managed to have a bacon batch ( roll ) and a coffee while I was waiting for her. Don’t tell Mrs exlaser as she is making us bacon and cheese panini for lunch and it would have been rude to tell her I am not that hungry 😂.
Off out in a bit to pack up Mrs exlaser boat this afternoon as it’s her boat classes national championship this week Friday to Sunday . Luckily it’s not to far away this year as it’s at Hollowell which is just in Northamptonshire so only about 35 mins away from us in Coventry .

A pleasant walk of 12k with a visit to the new " Italian Kitchen ".Mocha and a Lemon and Blueberry roulade ( I made the rookie error of asking for a slice of " the yellow swiss roll " 😁. Noticed that Nationwide have Emergency response stations on either side, first time that I've seen a " Bleed " one 🤔

Back from my belated walk. Just 1.6 miles as I have to get the bedding done before the cleaner arrives.
Got caught in a brief rain shower which wasnt supposed to happen
