This morning I returned for a dental check-up for the first time since my cancer treatment prevented me from attending. There were no further concerns requiring attention.
Later, Martin Fairhurst from Dials Antique Clocks visited to collect the workings of our long case clock in order to repair the broken hands and undertake its ten yearly service.
In readiness for the next storm set to strike tonight, I laid down the few remaining items of garden furniture that Jackie had righted after Darragh’s recent visit.
Pinewood Road is one of a group of developments off Stopples Lane behind the row of shops featured two days ago. Many of the residents are keen to celebrate the season.
I photographed this gallery;
the stand-out display, also included in Jackie’s collection, should be easy to spot.
This evening we dined at Rokali’s, where I enjoyed Garlic Chilli lamb and mushroom rice while Jackie chose her favourite Ponir Shashlik. She drank Diet Coke and I drank Kingfisher beer. Food was excellent as always, as was the friendly, efficient service. White roses on the tables were still fresh.
