Well. I love cards. I sent out 170 this year which took a while.

Just as I was about to settle down and write my Christmas cards, I came down with Covid. I didn't want to send germ-laden cards and by the time it was over, it was too late to get the cards to their destinations in time for Christmas.

I even wanted to make my own cards, but I guess I'll have to wait 'til next year. Erm...this year.

Time is a flexible unit of measure as far as my friend is concerned. I take her to a 2pm hospital appointment and arrive 15 minutes early near the drop-off point, blocking a van and a car in the process because it's so busy. She waits in the car because, "I've got 15 minutes yet." I point out that Stepping Hill hospital is a nightmare to find your way around and she could easily get lost. (She did last time she went there and the time before.) She says that they probably won't be ready for her anyway, they never are. On the other hand I point out that Deborah often turns up early and is seen early. And she can always grab a coffee at the nearby main entrance.
It's hard work sometimes.

Yesterday was a lovely day for a stroll to the local clinic, with wall-to-wall sunshine and no wind. I had an appointment to see the podiatrist but when I got there I discovered a junior clerk had cancelled my appointment by mistake. I shrugged my shoulders and rang the central number in Stockport to make another appointment. It made little difference to me but the appointments clerk was overly apologetic. When I had finished the phone call something strange happened to the telephone connection - it didn't disconnect at their end and my phone wouldn't let me disconnect from my end. I could hear the appointments clerk talking to her colleague, thinking the line was dead. "Oh that poor man," she said, "having a wasted journey... and in this weather." I chuckled to myself and sauntered off for a coffee in the nearby Costa Coffee. True, it was only 1°C but otherwise it was a very pleasant walk, and it only took me ten minutes.

The weather is icky, but I repaired my oven and baked a frozen pizza. And my sportsball team won.

I bought a new dishwasher. My old one is making a huge grinding noise and I keep thinking it's going to explode.

Went for a 3-mile walk today but it was cold and windy so I'm really looking forward to some warmer weather.
