We made our planned trip to Stafford today, finishing the Christmas shopping and having excellent mushroom, bacon and cheese paninis in Drucker's in the Guildhall Centre; much better than the fare on offer at M&S last time.
When we got back, I stayed on the bus to the other end of the village to pop into the pharmacy to collect a prescription. When we checked last Saturday, they were happy for me to arrange for a repeat script to be sent from the Alrewas surgery to them, so I posted a request off last Monday.
The script hadn't arrived today, but the pharmacy showed its quality; they phoned the surgery, discovered that my request had only arrived there yesterday, and so was only just ready to be posted on today. Nonetheless, the pharmacy got the surgery to fax a copy across, so that I could have the drugs dispensed there and then.
Excellent service, and the kind of thing that makes the liveaboard life feasible.
Back at the marina, the water had started flowing through the supply pipes again, so we've been able to fill the tank. We had to use one of the backup roll flat hoses that we store under the dinette, though, as the main hose reel that lives in the bow locker was still frozen.
A phone call from Elanor has revealed that Sally was partying last night, not to mention getting up to other clever, bunny related, stuff today. I want to check some of the details with Sally, who was too weary to come to the phone, but there may well be a dog to dog blog from her tomorrow.
