However, Dot&#8217;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&#8217;t feeling too well. I&#8217;m still not feeling too well, but last night we decided it was a reaction\u00a0\u00a0to my blood pressure pills; so I haven&#8217;t taken them today. Anyway, the car was fixed at a cost of \u00a3400 (exhaust and silencer) and I went to the dentist for even worse\u00a0damage (in money terms, that is).<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t\u00a0make me feel any worse.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, with Dot still busy rearranging the house, I drove to Blakeney\u00a0in 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&#8217; desk (ret) with his grandson. I also put together\u00a0a lot of interesting questions and photographs. I hope I&#8217;m not the only one interested in them.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday I put it all\u00a0together into a booklet, which took some time. Looks good, though. I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards Debbie House came round to pick up some dishes to use at her Speakers&#8217; Programme event this coming weekend, and stayed while I cooked dinner, though she didn&#8217;t have any. Discovered quite a lot about her background, which was really interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Have been watching a lot of World Athletics Championships in London. Far too much studio chat, but some quite interesting events. Our 4&#215;100 team won the gold medal, which was certainly unexpected and exciting. The girls got silver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weather has improved a bit.
