Plague 71

 Woken up at 5am by an elderly cat who realised it was raining on her doormat , she wasnt too happy and shes a mouthy old bird . Theres a huge flock of starlings trying to do their dance and just getting blown in all directions . Its going to be a sit and look out of the window day with added domestic servitude i think , house is a complete shit tip  as ive been busy with outside jobs most of the week . i have a washing yurt the size of a small bungalow to clear , need to put most of the summer clothes away etc etc etc . 

But i did manage a trip out to the highly exciting world of Market Rasen . I won a £2 lot in an online auction weeks ago and they asked for my feedback said that that i had never received an invoice and they eventually found the lot and got back to me . Other half wasnt to happy he said it was a waste of fuel to go and pick it up but we toddled along anyway . Sheer bliss i got to talk to other actual flesh and blood humans and i didnt rush and managed to visit 3 charity shops, by the time i got back to the car he was fuming id got a couple of odd balls of wool , some Rowan knitting magazines and a couple of big books along with my auction lot of a bundle of unframed prints . I then pointed out that they had a small Tesco and why didnt i do my top up shop while we were out . That was a revelation a fully stocked Tesco , everything ive not seen for weeks so i went a little mad , set him off again when i bought a couple of boxes of bulbs , he went on a whole you cant bloody eat them rant . I gather he had yet another fall while fishing with his BIL last weekend and hes in agony and im getting the benefit , nothing new there .

On a GP note i seem to have achieved, locally there had started to be a few remarks on facebook etc about why our GPS wasnt actually open except for the chosen few ,  so i chimed in and triggered a whole host of stories about the place , none of them good . Low and behold from the 1st of October they are reinstating the testing for chronic conditions for those who need regular monitoring . In another surprise the brown envelope of doom from the DWP hit the map , it would seem that they are giving Mr BH an extra year on his PIP claim , a huge relief as we were gearing up for the battle , we had spoken to the people who helped with the 2017 shenanigans , i have prepped 6 months worth of food for the event . the lovely support lady i spoke to did say we should reapply anyway because they had moved the descriptors yet again , but we arent going to rattle that cage at the moment , we are content to receive something anything is better than the six months of nothing we had last time
