    Ooh I do like a bit of red onion @dawnybabes but none in the flat so will have to cope with the other deliciousnesses. Maybe you just need to practice more with the cheese and crackers 😁 (does not constitute medical advice)

    We are still munching on cheese and cracker nightly.  Happy days.

    Yes it has arrived & I am looking for some brain space.  Back when I was 10 my IQ was over 150 but I suspect it has been downhill (& nearly 70 years) since then.  I am thinking of starting at the hairdressers tomorrow as that is 2 hours of boredom (no hearing aids).

    Aching and grumpy but we persevere

    Shower and hairwash. Knackering!

    Usuals
    Entered omaze Scotland draw by post

    25 minute walk, found two books, one of which immediately accepted by ziffit

    Prepped sauce for dinner, pasta bake with kidney beans in a very tomato-y sauce, with cheddar and leftover stilton on top. Did four portions so we could bung a couple in the freezer

    Small walk with Mr PIP for beer (with camra discount) as saw the weather forecast for next week and thought we'd enjoy some sun now! Did a couple of tedious listings and a couple of surveys

    Finished two books; The Business by Iain Banks (very good), and A Natural History of Ghosts by Roger Clarke, which I've read before and really love

    Barnet is doing fine thanks.  My hairdresser finally got the idea after I had it cut at my friends barbers & then told her like this except for that.
    Took my book with me for whilst waiting for the colour.  This is going to be interesting.  I am debating between cutting the book up & retyping all the pages.  Hopefully sometime in the next few months I will work out which is page one.  If I cut it up I won't be able to donate it & then drive someone else mad.

    Glad the hairdressers went alright @badmemory.
    Hmm, I don't know how to approach it either. I wonder if there's a version online one can print off... *puts on to-do list*

    Dinner is takeaway pizza as Mr PIP got a voucher for a free one 'as the delivery on our last order took too long'. We hadn't noticed let alone complained but not turning down free pizza!

    An hour of online chair yoga …? Intriguing 🤔 Is it effective?
