Oh contraire. She took a flask of coffee and a yellow stickered scone from
Lidl into Waitrose and drank and ate that while squatting near the fish fridge.

Car failed MOT yesterday, all fails on suspension things. Thank you Caithness Potholes.

Daughter Dex is flying back from a holiday/shopping trip to New Delhi today (she's been there for 3 weeks).

So, just preparing for her return and getting some shopping in.

Sorry about your car Raven. Hopefully not too expensive to repair.

I fell over yesterday! Felt such a fool, but some really kind people stopped to see if I was ok. Apart from injured pride and a grazed knee I'm ok, but one moment of carelessness and it could have been much worse!

Just for you GrannyMac. So pleased that you only grazed your knee..

HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOU'RE OLD.
FALL DOWN..
IF PEOPLE LAUGH.
YOU'RE YOUNG
IF PEOPLE PANIC.
YOU'RE OLD!

I suspect she's going to sue the council for a dodgy bit of paving. Where there's blame, there's a claim, and holidays abroad aren't getting any cheaper 😬😬

Sorry about the misfortunes folks. Hopefully the car fix isn't extortionate and the knee sorts itself without problems.

I know what you mean about 'injured pride' GrannyM.
A few months back, it was pouring with rain and my glasses were spotted in raindrops, which made me fall down some concrete steps from Lidl's car park. Embarrassing isn't it.
Anyway, hope you're on the mend again now.

I have an electric ceiling fan.
It is started by a wireless remote control.
As I sat here it started up. It took me a minute or two to realise it was running - I just heard a slight noise and felt a draught.

Spooky. I think it must have been somebody outside opening their car door that started it.
