ANTHURIUM LACELEAF

Set my alarm for 8am this morning as I was expecting a phone appointment call from a doctor at the Health Centre.  She rang soon after 8.  She decided to prescribe another blood pressure tablet which I will take in addition to the ones I already take.  And after 5 weeks I will need to fill in another chart.  After the call I went back to bed for a few hours.

This afternoon I walked down to the village to collect my repeat prescription  - as well as the new tablets. Had a long wait even though the shop was empty. Luckily they have seats you can use whilst waiting.  Popped into Tesco and Herons while I was out.  Both very quiet. 

Weather today was dry but chilly.  And it got dark very early.  " The Dark Days Before Christmas " as my husband used to say.

TV viewing this evening was Bake Off - Extra Slice and Vera.

For Flower Friday I decided to blip one of the flowers on my Anthurium Laceleaf plant.  It has 3 flowers in bloom at the moment.  ( Its had these 3 flowers on it since I bought it in August. ) Thanks as always to BikerBear for hosting.
