Anniversaries

D of E 99, G & WH 9 and A - well you never disclose how old a lady is bit she is 5 months younger than me.

Today was a tad more interesting and mobile than yesterday but still as cold and wet. After a self induced bad night's sleep and an early awakening I set off beyond (but only just) the 5 mile limit to B&Q at Hermiston Gait to track down a shower for #2 son. The bargain one on their website wasn't to be found but after a couple of phone calls (and a side trip to the plants) I came away with a full price one and a standard fuchsia. The store wasn't busy so social distancing wasn't an issue. This was also true of the Tesco opposite. I only went because I could. Avoiding the pickers was tricky but again no problems. Masks were rare in both stores but then do were people.

I got back in time to grab a sandwich them head out to Bridgend for today's deliveries to Niddrie which meant I could drop off the shower.

Back home I discovered my eBay return had returned, to me. Wrestled with the printer to no avail and then tidied up the office mainly looking for the install disc which of course I didn't find. But I did find essays on S & East Asian History I wrote on 1974 and 2 folders that came with me from my days in GRC. I had no idea I still had these.

This evening was another virtual birthday party for A of course. This week my cake was a gin and rhubarb cupcake from the aforementioned Tesco. Outside the delivery vans passed to and fro and the rain returned.

I'm on to another French drama. Still screaming.
