Yesterday was spent mostly reclined as I had horrible dizziness.Woke up today and have been much better until last hour or so when I’ve felt dizzy again so just came to bed to be flat.Up early.
Went to CP. oh what a lovely walk we had. Leaves strewn everywhere and we scrunched our way through them.
Down for a few hours and left about 1.30pm. Felt a bit more comfortable driving…hopefully it feels like my car soon!Saw what the car garage have put my car up for sale at and glad I held my will to get what I wanted as trade in !It’s been dry but kind of a raw cold. Put fire on as I was chatting to sister.Had a notion for something sweet. I don’t buy biscuits anymore ( as I just eat them) but knew I had coconut and white chocolate so searched a recipe for cookies and made a third of a batch! And just made them small.Birdies at the bird bath ( which was my mum’s) . I heard a woodpecker when we were walking this morning.7 -

1) a very good day at work - lovely weather, several things moved on
2) run at lunch time with colleague - the leaves are beautiful
3) last meeting (online) colleague says 'well I have to go as I'm off to the Nicola Benedetti concert'. 'have a lovely time' I reply 'I thought about going but only tickets left have restricted view' she replies 'x has a spare ticket as y is ill' quick phone call to x and I have bought the spare ticket :-) we have excellent seats and the concert is brilliant. not very mse but worth every penny and I do take a flask of coffee at the interval

Pleasures for today (Wednesday)
1) Emailed store manager yesterday, about my job. I've never met her (of course!) and I'd love to say I received a reply or even an acknowledgement, but no.
2) Had a good sleep, nonetheless.
3) Went to most local NT for a cup of tea.
4) Bigger son texted while I was out so j headed home and we had a chat and played a boardgame.
5) I cooked meatballs ready for tomorrow then made sweet and sour chicken.
6) Watched The Traitors.
