Busy day, help in garden, last time for 2021...gardeners puppy joined in too. A very lively terrier, nice natured. Visit to dentist delayed for an hour as they were too busy, not very happy about the visit, dentist suggested sipping drinks during Covid was causing dental decay amongst the population...but they can't do my teeth til next May!!
I looked up what damage tea (I presume she didn't mean alcohol!?) could do to teeth and discovered tea is quite good for teeth as it reduces the acid content in mouths. Not best pleased. Don't spend my time sipping drinks either....what do they think we are all doing?
Then collected new glasses, well they fit and I can see, so no complaints on that score.
Spent some time looking for new dentists......
Very chilly here with strong winds. Feel so sorry for those still without power.

Are they Denplan Brue? They need to improve their bedside manners if you ask me.
I seem to be sleeping longer these last few days. Maybe it's my body healing after the weekend, although as a cure for partial Insomnia I don't think it will catch on.
Decided to get all of our Aldi and Lidl shopping out of the way this morning. Items needed over Christmas but necessarily for Christmas itself. Wednesday morning early on always best day here for those 2 shops. Back home to wrestle with household chores. No chance of doing anything outside as "bucketing down" is the polite way of saying it.
Decided to have a light supper/dinner tonight. we like to lay off heavy meals midweek time. So it's a steamed Mincemeat and Apple Pudding with custard. Pudding is puttering noisily away in the kitchen.
Mrs WN fighting a losing battle with NHS website trying to get one of us a covid passport. Wales piggy back on England and most of the site is set up as if you have a surgery in England. As we only carry 1 "not as smart as some" phone and one main email address on gmail we've had to set up a second one with the surgery for email and wait to see if the NHS accept the same phone number when she does her own tomorrow. Isn't life exciting?

Posted on 01/12/2021 16:02 by WherenextABM I hope you don't live in Wistaston Road as it's been reported that they have the slowest download speed in the whole UK.
Then again, it might explain a lot of things.

Posted on 01/12/2021 16:07 by JVB66So club sites are not the slowest then !!
This area must be near the top for slow internet
Posted on 01/12/2021 16:24
The 10 slowest were found in
Crewe, Banchory, Horsham, Tyldesley, Doncaster, Gwaelod-y-Garth, Morden, Lewisham, Waddington and Caithness so not all in rural spots.
Funnily enough one of the places that was shown as the fastest was also in Cheshire.
Hit and Miss wherever you happen to be.

No, not me WN ~~I'm Much closer to Haslington than that, but I'd still not walk it, honest
Might even be even quicker than that when my Post man delivers the promised kit
Not too sure about the last comment you made tho' ~~ Brian does get a tad touchy at 'undirected' digs which just could be per-per-personal mwaaaaah !
Could try to solve the general list of slow-loads 'cos we host Doncaster on the porage pitch in some tuppenny - ha'penny cup tonight
