Yesterday we drove out to Beeston Regis to visit Fred and Sue at their caravan, and the north-east wind made that area much chillier than inland. Nevertheless after a chat we went for a short walk, and later drove to East Runton to have a meal at a Greek restaurant. The food was pretty good, and this was followed by Greek music and a lot of audience participation, during which I kept my head down on the pretext of taking a video of it.<\/p>\n<p>Today we were up at the church hall shortly after 10.30am to help with a kind of spring clean. I didn&#8217;t do a great deal except sort out the noticeboard, put up a couple of mirrors, return some vases to the church and quite a bit of dish-drying. Oh, and a bit of moving stuff about. It was nice to be with people from both church and Monday Club.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few days I&#8217;ve written three new poems, two of which I sent off to a competition. I sent another new one to another competition a couple of weeks ago, but I&#8217;m not going to make a habit of it. It just seemed the right thing to do.<em> Flawed Beauty<\/em> and <em>Chasing the Moon<\/em> went to the Crabbe competition, and <em>Background Music<\/em> to Bridport. The first one was based on a sermon by Eleanor, the second was about my father and the third was rather gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>I have got round to doing something about my teeth: I went to the dentist on Thursday, and he decided (with my agreement) to take out one of my back teeth at the top. This is scheduled for next Tuesday. Meanwhile I am on antibiotics. My pharmacist disagreed with my hairdresser and said it would be perfectly OK to stop taking statins; so I am doing that, in an attempt to stop coughing. I seem to be a bit better, but I have bad moments.<\/p>\n<p>I checked with the garage about a warning light on my car, and it\u00a0turns out it&#8217;s nothing to worry about: so I&#8217;m not worrying about it. Apparently it&#8217;s just there to remind me to book a service, which I&#8217;d already done. You can have too many warning lights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been cooler the last couple of days.
