It only took one e-mail to Norwich City Council and it suddenly appeared today, at roughly the same time as the window cleaner, who is recovering from quite a serious operation.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday I went to see Sharon, and we agreed that my shoulder was all right now, so &#8220;if it ain&#8217;t broke, don&#8217;t fix it&#8221;. She tested my reach and made some suggestions but didn&#8217;t charge me anything, which is more than reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>The second half of the week (up to a very wet today) was warm and sunny. On Thursday we took the MX5 in for a service and MOT, then in the afternoon took the radical step of taking in a pitch-and-putt game on Mousehold. Bit worried when we turned up to find ourselves behind five teenagers, but they very kindly asked us to go first, which made the tee-off a bit tense but worked out very well afterwards, as we completed a round without any problems. We both played reasonably well and ended up minus one ball, which is pretty good considering that we lost three. I was a bit worried about my shoulder, but there have been no drastic repercussions.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was even warmer, and I felt a bit silly carrying a jacket to the cinema to see <em>Far From the Madding Crowd<\/em>. As anticipated, however, the cinema was considerably cooler than outside, despite the warmth generated by us and the two other people watching the film \ud83d\ude42 Good film, though I felt the wrong man was playing Sgt Troy \u2013 he was on the brink of being a Monty Python parody.<\/p>\n<p>This morning we are preparing to go to a birthday meal for Mary Thrower \u2013 wife of one of my classmates at the CNS and a colleague of Dot&#8217;s in the Sillars Orchestra. Can&#8217;t imagine we shall know anyone apart from those two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colin still hasn&#8217;t returned with our new handle for the garage door, but Dot has devised a cunning method of opening and closing it.
