It's Derby again

Another slow start as we didn't need to catch the early bus. The 10.25 was on time but very busy; we were lucky to get seats. Mind you, not many more got on before we were in the city and most of us then got off in Victoria Street. We had time for some retail therapy in Tesco and M&S (socks both times, strangely) before checking in to the Hearing Aid clinic in Boots.

After another wait, I had a straightforward session with Adrian who serviced the hearing aid and pronounced himself satisfied with its condition. He reassured me that I'd done the right thing the other month after I forgot to take it off before showering (remove the battery and pop the aid in the airing cupboard for a couple of days after drying it off.)

Pad Thai for two in the food court then a quick run round Sainsbury's for bread and the like. We were just in nice time for the 1300 back and did a bit more shopping in the marina shop before settling into the boat for the afternoon.

We've filled the water tank and taken all the vulnerable stuff off the roof in anticipation of the storm tomorrow. Des has just rung to discuss the final phase of bringing the new Owners' Group website online, so I've got some jobs to be getting on with indoors whilst the remains of Hurricane Gonzalez does its worst outside.
