Almond Magnums

JR went off to Waitrose early today. Quite a struggle, as mornings are, for us, a very slow affair, now that JR isn’t up and off to the gym by 9am. Archie is good - he can sleep in for ages. Mind you, he’s still doing his very annoying habit of needing out at night. 

In the afternoon, I dropped JR and Archie off up Blackford Hill, and went on to visit Uncle A. What a nice niece I was - I brought him a box of Almond Magnums for his freezer.

I left him prodding all the buttons on two television remotes. The channels had disappeared, but he assured me he knew what to do. I wonder if indeed he did get the BBC on again... Talking of which, it’s quite unfair of the BBC to start charging 90 year olds a licence fee. Uncle A can afford it, but many can’t. And really, it’s not worth it. But it’s too complicated to subscribe to Prime, Netflix etc.

Good news in the papers today - all adults in Scotland will be vaccinated by next spring, with 1 million done by the end of January.
