Respite

We had some respite from the recent wet weather. Having said that, it hasn't really been too bad down here on this little section of the South Coast. 

Being Thursday, we had the usual excitement that accompanies the weekly shop. I managed to drop off some jackets to be dry-cleaned then managed to navigate my way through Sainsbury's without destroying the zombies who had just arrived. There may have been a few soto voce murmurings of "Oh for heaven's sake, get out of the way, you knuckle-dragging cretins" (or phrases with a similar meaning).

Diane had one of her regular blood tests today. She took herself along, no longer requiring my security escort.

I spent the early afternoon looking at the Internet packages available for our planned cruise. It was only when I saw the price I realised that I was buying not just Internet access, but probably the whole maritime satellite network as well. This is all very fine but I really have nowhere to store it when we get home. I will have to sleep on this. Methinks that P&O are taking the mickey.

Had a brief video call with Ellie. She will be home on Saturday, and it will be lovely to see her again. I confess that I have missed her cheery little presence.
