VILLAGE COLOURS

Had an appointment with the nurse at the health centre for a blood pressure check this afternoon.  Was due to see her at 3.10pm but I had a 25 min wait.  All 3 readings were high.  So as I've got a blood pressure monitor at home she has given me a chart so I can do readings morning and afternoon (or evening ) for a week.  Then I hand the chart in at reception, a doctor checks it over and lets me know if I need to come in for a further appointment.  Lets hope I can get some low readings over the next week.  ( I'm already taking tablets for high blood pressure so maybe the dose needs to be adjusted )

I was in the Nurses room for quite a while and by the time I got to the village shops the greengrocers had closed.  So instead of getting reasonably priced veg I had to pay over the odds in Tesco Express.  And I was overcharged in Tesco for one item so I had to go back to the till to sort that out. 

I decided to head for St Marys Church and the Green to see if there were any flowers around for Flower Friday.  There were a couple of tubs of flowers either side of the Church door  - you can see one of them in my collage.  On the Green there was a lovely flower display and a small tree with beautiful Autumn colours so they are included in my collage.  Thanks to BikerBear for hosting Flower Friday.

The weather today was bitterly cold.  The wind was strong and I could have done with gloves on while I was out. This evening its only 6c/42f.  However I'm all cosy with the central heating on and I have watched an episode of Vera so its all good.
