Braved the heat which kept most of the walmartians at home. Didn't go to the VFW last night, so it's grilled top sirloin steak & baked tater at home today instead. Followed by cheesecake

Introduced the 2 year old baby dazzle to the concept of free blackberries off the bush whilst on a walk in the wood.
Took me ages to drag her away, she was one happy purple faced/fingered toddler.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Went to a private hospital in Edinburgh to get my nose looked at (the NHS aren’t interested)
Some of the symptoms are a persistent cough and loss of sense of taste and smell...sounds familiar doesn’t it.
However I informed the hospital about those when they phoned for a Covid 19 check the day before.
Anyway I was sitting in the consultants office when he nipped out to get some forms and I coughed a couple of times. A nurse poked her head round the door and asked if I was okay. I explained that this was one of my symptoms.
Consultant came back and we started chatting. Knock on the door and a nurse asked to see him outside. Door closes and they were out there for about 5 minutes.
Seemingly my cough had caused a panic and ..get this...because I had coughed the room had to be left empty for an hour.
As it was he couldn’t do a test because of this.
The consultant was as pissed off about that as me.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today has been full Up early, GCSE results day! Daugher is a straight A's student. Then to 6th form to be told she could not take the course she wanted to, which is a blessing in disguise as she is now taking a course that has stronger prospects for university and gives her a wider field to choose from.
I then tootled off to a Church meeting, communion service and then to bless a pub and the accommodation above said pub. The owners were brilliant, both wanted to have the place blessed and were so very generous and hospitable. We only had coffee as we were both driving, but there was the offer of a big lunch if we wanted it. Sadly we had meetings to attend straight after, so had to decline. the other customers observed silence during the brief service and were really appreciative.
Looking forward to doing more of this and also going to all the local industrial estates and so on. Took wife out to do the shopping and now I have an online meeting at 7pm for around an hour. Then beers and dinner!!

Even in a small jar it only cost 85p, so I expect it was just shown a picture with of a crab!

Re: What have you done today thread?
At the girlfriends. She has been decorating our bedroom and en suite, looks great. New carpets ordered, now to oak furniture land for the drawers etc.
Due to this I have done gardening. Took 3 feet off of 2 laurels, knackered my petrol hedge trimmer in the process, also knackered my reciprocating saw. Now got 2 green bins, a builders bag and some big branches to get rid of. Luckily, she also owns some woods across the road so it will all go into there.
Spag Bol tonight, plus beers, home tomorrow. Hoping to buy a Triumph Sprint at some time this afternoon too, fingers crossed!!
Have a good weekend all

Re: What have you done today thread?
Took a friend out kayaking, a woman of 'certain age' and heir first time in a kayak. Took to it like an old girl to a kayak and wants to make it a regular thing. That's fine by me except I have to get both boats down to the beach and back again afterwards and I too, am a 'certain age'. 
A good day though with little wind and flattish sea.

Went on a ride out with TOMCC and visited all 8 visible hillside white horses in Wiltshire (there are another 5 that are no longer visible apparently). Was a good ride out clocking up about 160 miles in total, a few heavy rainstorms but plenty of sunshine in between. Really enjoying the Speed Twin still
