Blackthorn

It was a struggle getting up and out this morning, and we only just made our bus. It was quite a nice morning though chilly.

The office was very quiet today, which is probably just as well, as I was coughing. I probably should gave worked from home, but I had an optician appointment at lunchtime.

I got a bit waylaid as I was leaving the office, so had to rush, which wasn’t ideal, given my lurgy which is still hanging around. Mostly all good at the optician, but they want to check in one of my eyes in a year. I’m sure they will check them both!

New glasses and prescription sun glasses are on order, and my wallet is somewhat lighter. I then had real trouble buying a stamp, so I could post my dad’s birthday cards. I eventually got stamps, then had to go back to the Post Office, which had the most enormous queue to post them.

I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to catch up with stuff from Friday and Monday, but didn’t get very far. I was glad to finish, and to get home.

BB was of course waiting on his tea! I’ve told him that he is on tea tomorrow night!!

I popped out for a few steps, then came home and pottered.

We stopped to speak to friends on our way home, and I spotted these deadly looking thorns on the blackthorn.
