It took me so long to write this that the 2 Wednesday threads had been merged.
MH, I heard that BP readings taken at home are more reliable than those taken in the doctor’s surgery, which doesn’t surprise me at all. You can see the fluctuations through the day, and avoid those peaks due to stress when sitting in the chair by the doctor.
Every time you talk about your fresh home made bread Caroline, I get
huge cravings.
Not good news about your friend. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I am interested to hear how people who catch covid get on, so thanks for that update. I hope she feels better soon.
Aw Roobarb, I’m sorry to hear you are fed up, but it’s completely understandable. Although I do love the cold weather and snow, ice terrifies me, so I am not surprised you avoid going out when it is icy.
Temperature here was a bit cooler on Wednesday, with some cloud cover. A different start to my day ... a very early dentist appointment. It’s been a while - I think my last visit was August 2019. I wouldn’t have gone so soon
but had a couple of annoying chips which needed fixing. A couple of covid measures were in place - sanitise hands, chairs in waiting area set further apart, and rinse with a special mouthwash. Just the usual mask and gloves for dentist and his assistant. I don’t like going to the dentist so it was a relief to get it over with.
OH and I then went to see my father. He was all kitted up in work clothes with his brush cutter and ride on mower, so we went to the back of his property to poison a weed tree which had been ringbarked a few years ago, but was still living. After having a look around I snuck off and left them to it, and stopped off to grab a few groceries. Caroline - marmite is back on the shelves! Oh joy! Not that your son is in need of any. After pouring poison into cuts in the tree father and OH pulled up some lantana. It’s such a pest, and is everywhere. OH quite was wiped out and very sweaty by the time he came home, and suffering with a sore back. My father (aged 89) completely unaffected by the exertion.
Watched an episode of “Gentleman Jack” - it was a bit raunchy.
Same boring dog walk - dog is a creature of habit and presumably wants to check out the same route every day to see what’s been happening in her neighbourhood. Unfortunately she is usually resistant to my efforts to take her a different way.
Pizza for dinner - for the base I use purchased dough balls which I stretch or roll out, this time topped with mushrooms and far too many toppings and cheese, so it all flows over the base onto the tray. They always taste OK though.
That’s about it for my Wednesday. I’ve omitted the boring bits.
