Had a lie-in, not sure if it's a side effect of the jab, but I've been very tired this last couple of days, and I didn't wake up fully until 8.30ish which is late for me at the beginning of the week, because usually I've got used to being up early for work. I went to bed fairly early too, admitted I did listen to a couple of chapters of Never The Bride on audible. I read the actual book years ago, but like so many it was one of the ones I had to get rid of in the period we left the pub, so I had a credit to spend and thought it would be good to hear it this time, rather than just buy it on kindle. It's set in Whitby and although the names of the streets and businesses have been changed ( to protect the innocent? Lol) you can if you've been there as often as we have picture where the author means. The most poignant is the mention of Woolies, or Woolworth's. Obviously no longer there as none of them are now, but I remember always nipping in there for the odd thing we needed like a towel, ( you always need to know where your towel is!) Or a kettle if you blew up the one in the holiday cottage. Or more importantly Lucasade to cure the raging hangover from the night before. Ah, those were the days. I couldn't do it now, even with three days notice.
So once I was up and I'd made a card I needed to, caught up with my dyalog pages. The day settled into it's usual routine. There was new stories about the reopening of pubs and cafes, restaurants and sports venues. Let's see how long it lasts this time shall we?
