DAYS OUT & iN: Sofi, Blackberry Picking, Llamas, etc.

Picking blackberries in the Park.

Hannah brought Sofi over today. She’s staying with Antonio and us till Sunday (when another boat trip is happening!).

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.

We bagged a huge haul o’ Blackberries! And there were loads more left.

A blackberry and apple crumble seems the proper thing.

Teresa came out with me on my short delivery route today. On which trip we met these critters:

Llamas or alpacas?

These beauties were a joy to behold.

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.

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!

I’m 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.

I discussed with Dr Hedda Joyce, a wonderful human being, my recent circ’s and she prescribed me some more co-codamol. But refused the zopiclone, as ‘contra-indicated’!

Now we’re listening to Vincent Price, reading Edgar Allen Poe’s The Imp of The Perverse. I’m not sure my choice was the best, given my recent behaviour! But Vincent’s voice is so wonderful!

This is much better!

We also listened to a couple of Tolkien readings: Tom Bombadil, and The Ride of the Rohirrim. Fab! Later on, a shower, our ten minute Joe Wicks Seniors routine, and… bed!
