Productive day

The forecast had it back to front; we had the rain in the morning today and a reasonably fine afternoon. So the further trip downtown was postponed until after lunch and we got on with stuff inside in the morning.

This included running the engine to do a washload, filling in boat details for some of the Braidbars listed in the database behind the new website, and finishing one end of the fender. One more session should see it off. The washing machine came to the end of its cycle just on eleven, allowing us to join Stephen and Jayne for hot choc/coffee at the Trading Post.

After lunch and a bit of a postprandial zizz, I sent a couple of emails and then walked down to Poynton. I finally collected the last of the meds on my repeat prescription and got another loaf from Waitrose. Coming out of the store, I saw the bus for Higher Poynton just turning out of the side street opposite.

The driver very kindly stopped at a stop that's supposed to be out of service; I didn't even have to hold my arm out, just made eye contact.

Meanwhile, Sheila had done a bit more gardening and we've finished the afternoon guess where.

Tomorrow, we'll try and get stuff done in the morning, as we're going to the Boar's Head for lunch.

That's some super power Bruce, to stop a bus with just a glare... LOL
