Back in Alrewas

I was up betimes this morning, and outside the surgery before ten past eight. As it was, I was third in the queue, but still got an appointment for half eight, so just had to wait for a while before being seen. The result was still another change in my prescription; these changes of antihypertensive medication tend to produce striking "initial dose" effects, so I've spent much of the rest of the day in a rather dozy state.

Never mind, things will be better tomorrow, no doubt. Coates the butcher supplied some large pasties for lunch, and we took a bit of a walk along the village towpath afterwards. The wind has gone round to the north east, so it was necessarily quite a short walk, and we've spent the balance of the time in the boat with the fire well stoked.
