Having felt very sorry for himself yesterday, today is much better, the throat is a lot less sore. Luckily some lozenges from the local chemist helped- so we didn’t need to resort to a morphine based drug!!! I like to feel I helpfully pointed out, just because you have one big thing wrong, doesn’t mean you get an exemption from the usual niggles we all get.
He even managed to go down and get the flu job sorted. Though we had the usual fun with the receptionist- because at the moment he looks quite well, she wanted to know why he was eligible for the jab. obviously with a packed room full of local people, he didn’t feel like announcing terminal cancer, so suggested she went and checked. 30 seconds later return of chastened receptionist – I know they have a job to do, but given the appointment had been made by the doctor, why did she think he was there.
Will be taking it easy this weekend, to be fair, pretty much what we always do, although last Sunday we did have a burst of enthusiasm and Autumn cleaned the kitchen. Given Ray if much tidier than me ( I like to think of it as OCD), such that ideally all the tins would line up the same way, this became quite a big job.
W even found some remnants of alcohol, at the back, seemed a shame to waste them, so we had a couple of snifters along the way. rather worryingly I also found a large jar of olives, that expired in 2007. Given I have moved house at least twice since then, am concerned at the fact I packed and unpacked these as part of a move more than once.
By the end of the day, have an immaculate kitchen , with everything stored in a logical place and shelves that would do a supermarket proud. Discovered I have a surfeit of icing sugar, ( 3 bags) so could bake a very large christmas cake, but all other items appear normal……. and we only had a very small hangover the next day.
