Morning, hugs if you need one, could do with one myself.
We got up early this morning and travelled in the village just outside Leicester for a walk in booster jab. Got there and the place was closed!! There were two other people waiting, who came from the village next to us. Called at the surgery on the way home, got nowhere. Our surgery used to be brilliant......open surgery every morning, appointments during the afternoon. Drs available when you need one. Now its pathetic......they are changing to appointments only, which have to be booked on line, what happens if you are not on line. Oh you can call, but the receptionists want to know everything but your inside leg measurement before they will book an appointment for you. I am not happy discussing personal ailments with a receptionist. GP's spent the covid period answering the phone at home and now want a massive rise. So 2 hours and fuel on a wasted journey.
Sunny first thing, then it changed to very grey skies, no rain, the sun is shining again.
Supper tonight is fish and chips as usual.

Been to a memorial service at the SA for a chap who spent a while homeless but was housed and sadly died at just over 50 years of age. I popped into As.. afterwards and the security chap asked me if I had got my cake carrier in the shop - he must have thought I was a shoplifter.
Made some snow people - must be PC. Please excuse my messy craft table.

Florenceem - Aren't craft areas supposed to be messy? I shows you have a creative mind, doesn't it? At least that is what I keep telling myself. As long as you can find what you need in the mess, it is okay.9
