rucksack
I filled my rucksack with all heavy tesco items, and found I had very little else of any weight to carry. No problem walking home. Wonderful.

taking hedge back to boundary
Why on earth would one do this? I have really no idea. It has no interest other than open space, which is normally boring.
Yet this is repeatedly what J has done to the hedge between them and the building site. It just highlights the thing you want to hide.
He should at least use it to indicate his preferred height.
Being a shared garden amongst the flat owners, it is now more likely to be replaced by solid barrier or fence, which will be even worse. It would be wiser to let it develop as an asset on his side. This might make it more likely to be left, rather than have bad feelings.
No imagination.

Hygienist tomorrow for T
bread maker
All is well. Made a super brown wholemeal loaf today. Used Waitrose Canadian wholemeal flour, and standard recipe.
M
still no J
Next door's absence is rather strange. Sue is there and busy. Could be absolutely anything, but one can live in hope.
Arrival of all sons last weekend added to mystery perhaps.
M
T walked back up from Leightens
We took a taxi down there and walked back, with only one stop. This is heroic.
It had been a tough time there, because of the mess they initially made with the earing aids. I am not taking further, but I hope I got them nervous.
M
Bread making
Back to trying to bake a decent loaf. Using Waitrose canadian flour, and normal recipe, and 5 hours.
Fingers crossed
M
urology
Normal cock up, which they admit is in their court. The paper work is stuck because of changes to my formal nhs doctor.
Await this space
M
audiologist
Got very angry with T's man. Pleasant enough, but basically trying to cover up his botch last time.
I am not bothering to take it further.
M
google news
This is a waste of space. I have got rid of it.
I am not sure how I got it in the first place. I hope it does not reappear.

I got worried for a bit, but probably unnecessay

a bad applicaton
I have got caught out by an application that is a pain and very persistent.
Time for a spring clean. This is on my phone.
M
Samual and Isabel are growing fast
Much to my surprise they have apparently overtaken Katherine,and Grannie.
I think I have mostly seen them sitting recently.
M
Next door
I have not seen Jonathon, next door for a bit. Nor any sign of his car being moved. Plenty of his wife.
M
adding rucksack
Tomorrow I try Waitrose in Tonbridge again, and this time adding my rucksack to the carrying capacity. I think it should be ok since it was the arms that really complained before.

having to rebuild the latest tablet
I somwhow managed to screw up the android system, and had to start again. Do not know what happened.
It was a bit of a mess so no harm really.
M
reducing shopping weight
I was carrying back too much at a time, and having to get my breathe back frequently. This was inefficient.
Now with reduced loads I walk coninuously the whole way back home with no stops. Ok I may have to do some extra journeys, but overall a saving and much more comfortable.
M
charging honda
Had some success in charging the honda battery. All rather smooth, though there are a lot of cables at the front door.
Rain is tge main problem

pruning the tree in the road
Told a guy putting out cones. I told him that they could use our drive if it helped them. They want to do it's regular prune, something like every 4 years.
M
difficult after power
Of course, I will disagree with my successors at Old Lodge. I have strong opinions on most things. But it makes it slightly difficult to hang around a task that I would not have done.
I can only see walking on to other things as the solution.
I think it was too risky to have a bonfire where we did today. I said I would have put it out. And walked away.
Must be very difficult being an ex-prime minister.
M
Reduced tesco loads
I tried multiple tesco journeys and less purchase weight. This worked very well, and I made the journeys without stopping for breathe.
Ok, there will be more journeys, but it is tge time that is important. It is also heathier to not to over exert oneself.

Google does not want to find this
I thought I would try to find an entry in this blog. Completely failed. Silly.
M
T's Catheter
I clearly did not do much blogging in the past, and there is no reference to the months when T had a catheter.
M
adventurous
The catheter is often uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. I have tended to just accept it as par for the course.
However I am currently trying to see if I can ease things with things like savlon. So far so good, with absolutely tiny amounts providing lubrication and reduced inflammation
Obviously I am getting fed up with the inconvenience of the things, as I do more walking and playing. I should get called to Pembury any day now. Here's hoping.
M
Jono's cold
Both feeling tired and under par. No doubt caught from J. He is so sociable that he probably will be giving us both welcome future immunity. But it does sometimes make us feel decrepit.
M
South heath birds
I sat listening to the songs and calls.
Tawny owl over the fence was most satisfying. Within striking distance of new box.
Buzzard, linnets. Bullfinch. Gold rest, robin, raven, skylark, blue tit, crow.
Did not see anything.
