The palm tree

The surveyor went out to the bungalow in Holmfirth first thing. If his report is favourable, looks like we'll be on the move!

Battled my way through the fierce winds of Storm Otto this morning to enjoy a coffee with Jacqui. Then home to tackle a few chores before a walk to the surgery for an appointment with a new GP. Quite relieved that he actually seems keen to get my hypertension under control and evidently wants to keep track of it. A telephone follow up on Monday.

Out again a bit later to pop a card through Carolyn's letterbox; she's offered to take it to a mutual friend tomorrow. The wind had died down considerably by then, so I came home the long way round to top up my steps for the day. Passed the auctioneers yard on the way, and spotted this tall 'palm tree'. Maybe it's been used in a theatrical production.

Now for a relaxing evening, and a glass of red.
