The weather has improved a bit. However, Dot’s car had started making loud noises, and so I took it round to Kwik-Fit last Thursday after cancelling my round of pitch-and-putt with Paul because I wasn’t feeling too well. I’m still not feeling too well, but last night we decided it was a reaction  to my blood pressure pills; so I haven’t taken them today. Anyway, the car was fixed at a cost of £400 (exhaust and silencer) and I went to the dentist for even worse damage (in money terms, that is).

I was in the chair for an hour while my tooth was prepared for a temporary crown. This did not make me feel any better, but on the other hand it didn’t make me feel any worse.

On Friday, with Dot still busy rearranging the house, I drove to Blakeney in the afternoon and finished gathering data for the Blakeney Quiz. While doing so in warm weather (I had an ice cream) I encountered Peter Bright of the Evening News subs’ desk (ret) with his grandson. I also put together a lot of interesting questions and photographs. I hope I’m not the only one interested in them.

On Saturday I put it all together into a booklet, which took some time. Looks good, though. I’ve also put together a church rota for the period up to Christmas, and on Sunday I led the service. We had to leave fairly quickly afterwards because Dot was going to Carra for Norwich City v Sunderland, which NCFC managed to lose 3-1.

Afterwards Debbie House came round to pick up some dishes to use at her Speakers’ Programme event this coming weekend, and stayed while I cooked dinner, though she didn’t have any. Discovered quite a lot about her background, which was really interesting.

Have been watching a lot of World Athletics Championships in London. Far too much studio chat, but some quite interesting events. Our 4×100 team won the gold medal, which was certainly unexpected and exciting. The girls got silver.
