Hannah brought Sofi over today. She\u2019s staying with Antonio and us till Sunday (when another boat trip is happening!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa needed to go to the local library. So we all walked there together. I got rid of a little more vinyl (some 45s) and more clothes, at a charity shop en-route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bagged a huge haul o\u2019 Blackberries! And there were loads more left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blackberry and apple crumble seems the proper thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa came out with me on my short delivery route today. On which trip we met these critters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llamas or alpacas?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These beauties were a joy to behold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We popped in to B&Q on the way home. To look at vinyl flooring (for the kitchen). I bought a tester pot of green Valspar paint, with a view to repainting the smeggy looking kitchen door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the evening, after a trip to the doctors, for me, it was dinner time. We had a fire, and ate the leftover spaghetti carbonara, with some salad veg. Lovely! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m still recovering from the foolishness of the day before, and the night before that. But I appear to be through the worst of that wobbly trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discussed with Dr Hedda Joyce, a wonderful human being, my recent circ\u2019s and she prescribed me some more co-codamol. But refused the zopiclone, as \u2018contra-indicated\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we\u2019re listening to Vincent Price, reading Edgar Allen Poe\u2019s The Imp of The Perverse.<\/em> I\u2019m not sure my choice was the best, given my recent behaviour! But Vincent\u2019s voice is so wonderful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
