Sunlight in Harrison\u2019s Wood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monday was cold but walkable. Got quite a lot done, including booking a windscreen job and booking an e-consult with the surgery.\u00a0\u00a0Also worked out another six-week rota for church. In the evening we watched a really good new Irish-Belgian thriller called\u00a0Hidden Assets<\/em>\u00a0and another episode of the excellent\u00a0The Tourist.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tues was not quite so cold. Wrote two articles for Parish Pump. Went for walk with Dot to Rosary. Felt very tired on return – in fact not particularly well all day. Dot took clothes up to cleaners before walk. Paul Dickson liked my Lost<\/em> Princess<\/em> story, and I\u2019m meeting him next week to talk about it. Watched\u00a0Remains of the Day<\/em>, which was superb but very sad. Then a bit of a documentary on why ships crash, which was unexpectedly interesting..\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was dry but quite windy on Wednesday, and therefore very chilly. Saw the end of the above-mentioned documentary, but before that the guy from Autoglass came to replace\u00a0\u00a0my windscreen, which he did in about an hour. Impressive expertise. Cost me \u00a375 excess on my insurance, but very pleased to have it done. After lunch we drove to Morrisons, and Dot and I went for a walk round behind Carrow Road before doing the shopping. She walked home. Later Teresa rang up to talk about the funeral – Dot will be doing a reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watched several episodes of\u00a0Only Connec<\/em>t, and I got one question right that no-one else did. Needless to say I got everything else wrong. The council at last picked up the recycling and I think dumped my non-recycling rubbish in with it. Great news on the national front: all Covid restrictions ending in a week\u2019s time. Dot went to orchestra in the evening, and I played through En Passant<\/em> chess games. Have booked an ear appointment; still feeling very cold. Finished\u00a0Saving Einstein<\/em>\u00a0– bit hard going at times, but lots of fascinating information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday was cold and showery. Stayed indoors, but Dot walked up to get her watch with its new battery from Dipples, who unexpectedly reduced the price from \u00a350 to \u00a335. Bridget came to clean. Watched last two episodes of\u00a0\u00a0Rules of the Game,\u00a0<\/em>which was an industrial thriller well acted but in a singularly unattractive urban setting, beset with wind farms and electricity pylons. Am reading a book on Leonard Cohen\u2019s mystical lyrics. Managed 4500 steps indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday (Friday) was very cold again, but dry. Norwich beat Watford 3-0 away, but NOW tv wasn\u2019t working; so we had to put up with Chris Goreham. Floodlights failed for ten minutes when we were 1-0. Sargent scored twice – both excellent goals. NO doubt invigorated by birth of his child. Earlier Dot walked up to city to buy bereavement cards and trousers, and I walked to the Rosary via Cotman Road, then home through the cemetery. Over 6000 steps today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctor rang for consult in the morning and agreed to cut my beta blockers by half as an experiment. Later the receptionist rang and booked me in for a blood test, which I was very pleased about. Des and Chris came over for drinks instead of standing in the street, which was nice. Watched\u00a0Death in Paradise\u00a0<\/em>after the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is sunny and cold. Got a text message saying my pills were ready at about 12.15. So Dot and I drove up to get them, and then went for walk in Harrison\u2019s Wood. After lunch we read for quite a long time.\u00a0This evening we watched A View to a Kill<\/em>, which must be one of the best Bond films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
