We are gradually getting back into some kind of circulation, but it’s a slow process. Nothing much happened on Monday and Tuesday as Dot and I finished our courses of antibiotics, but on Wednesday I drove up to the surgery for a blood test (and delivery of a specimen), and walked into the Rosary briefly (from the back entrance) on the way back.

On Thursday we both had our hair cut by Linda, then later walked up to the post office to post a couple of things, one of which was my DNA specimen to the USA. I am going to find out where I’ve come from. Not sure if this will turn out to be a good idea, but it’s something that’s been in the back of my mind for a long time.

Later Howard rang and then popped round for a cup of tea. He also brought some eggs and sausages, so we had sausages, eggs and chips for supper. Had an interesting talk about, among other things, St Augustine’s Way.

Really good news late last night from K, who feared that cancer was spreading to both breasts, but it isn’t. Now we need some good news from my brother, who is having a critical, high-risk operation today to try to put right his spinal problems. Meanwhile I have had to call Green Flag to get the MX5 started, following which I took it for a run to Brundall.

I said nothing much happened on Monday and Tuesday, but we did in fact watch The Crown – all ten episodes – on Netflix. It’s an ill wind…
