Good morning all. 5.1 for me.
Being left handed, it was a nightmare for me.
That made me laugh Martin. We have a white F Type Jag and there’s not many about our area. I went to our local butcher/greengrocer one day not long after we’d got it. Walked out to the car and pressed the button to open the boot. Nothing happened, kept trying and trying. Luckily the dealership is just next door so I thought I’d pop in and see if they could look at the key, thought battery had conked. Just as I was thinking about going a passing car stopped and pointed to the parking bay a bit further down. There was my car with the boot open! I’d been to trying to open someone else’s Jag! I was mortified. I wonder how many folks had seen the boot going up and down a dozen times. To make it even funnier the other car belongs to someone in our village but off the main road so we’d never seen it!Another bright & sunny start and looks like we're in for a nice day again. There's even a heat warning out for tomorrow. Got the covers off the garden furniture yesterday, for the first time in ages, and had lunch on the patio before spending a chunk of the afternoon dead-heading our butterfly bush. Managed to fill a whole garden waste bag.
Had a real senior moment in the car park at Sainsbury's yesterday. Put the shopping in the boot, walked the trolley to the trolley park and on the way back I saw that someone had scraped the passenger door of my car. I was having a closer look to see how bad it was when the driver's window opened and a woman inside asked me what I was doing. It wasn't my car - same colour, and a Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra are not too dissimilar from side on, but my car was a couple of bays further up. She must have parked while I was walking to the trolley bay. That's my excuse anyway.
Congrats @everydayupsanddowns on your HS. I'm joining you:-

I went to a lecture by Prof Chris Whitty at the University of Liverpool a couple of months ago, and he is very much of the opinion that we should blame the tobacco companies pushing and not individual smokers because smoking is so hard to give up once started. (He is very much in favour of the "banning forever" for younger people by increasing the age annually by a year so that tobacco never becomes legal for them to purchase).I have been drug-free (illegal) for 18 years, and kicked the smoking habit (smoke-free for 6 years), but I still have the occasional alcoholic drink as I wasn't addicted when I did drink heavily. Kicking the smoking into touch was the hardest habit I ever got the better of.
Ooh that sounds nice. Do you have a specific recipe that you use Colin?Morning all. 8.1
Went off to the dressing clinic yesterday as didn’t feel right. Seems that I’m allergic to the packing material the nurse there used to pack the wound. Still sore this morning but nowhere near as uncomfortable as it was before they switched out the packing.
Going back early afternoon today to have them check everything again.
In other news I’m tempted to bake avocado “bread” later. It’s basically just mushed avocado mixed with cheese, almond flour, baking soda or powder I forget which and then shaped and baked.
