A Busy Morning
Procrastination is the thief of time, right? Well, rather than sitting around thinking about what I need to get done, I find it easier to get up and tackle it!
So, I got ready and went to the GP to get my flu jab. Then, I went to the pharmacy and got my. COVID jab. After that, I walked to the Polish shop and bought a few grocery items. I purchased some bread, ham, grated cheese, dark chocolate, kefir, and a nice, well-filled ham and cheese salad roll for my lunch. The whole lot was only £14. A short walk to another corner store for some potatoes. They sell a 6kg bag of good-sized spuds (mostly big enough for jacket potatoes if we desire them) for £6.
Why go to supermarkets when the local stores offer good value?
Once I got home, I made another mug of coffee, went into the garden, raked the lawn free of the two-day-old cuttings, and swept the garden path.
Back into the kitchen, and after looking in the refrigerator and finding a pack of fresh chicken thighs, I decided to make a curry for dinner. I got everything prepared and simmered it slowly in the pot, allowing all the flavours to mingle well. I’ll cook some rice later.
Now, that aforementioned roll to eat, along with another mug of coffee, and a little R&R. #food
A Bright Sunny Morning
IT’s very unlike me to sleep in, but I did this morning. I didn’t wake up until almost 8 am. I’m having a #coffee, and then it’s off to the doc for a flu (and possibly COVID) jab. I’ll do a little shopping, and I’ll also take my camera with me, of course, and see what I find in the locality.
Harrow & Wealdstone Rail Disaster
Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Harrow & Wealdstone Triple train crash, in which 112 poor souls lost their lives in the morning rush hour.
My Reading Session
Spent an enjoyable hour with the latest edition of Fabian Review. It certainly gave me a few things to think about.
This Morning I am Mostly Reading
I have a couple of new publications that have arrived on my doormat. Yes, I still read physical books and magazines. On that note, I am going to step away from the computer for a while, take my coffee, sit on the sofa, and read!
Up and About
I had a terrible night’s sleep. I went to sleep around 10.45 according to my Apple Watch, but I was awake around 3 am, and couldn’t sleep for over two hours. I did eventually go back to sleep and then woke up around 7.50.
Anyway, I’m going through social media now, and replying to a few postings, and commenting on a few more. I’ll then tackle emails, and then I’m getting on with some indoor photography projects.
An Old Blog
Wide awake since soon after 3 am, I was lying in the dark, poking around online. I found entries to an old blog I used to write on my BlackBerry back in 2009.
No earth shattering memories of any kind, but a few notes that will be handy to copy into my personal journal at Day One.

Nocturnal Mutterings
Yes. It’s just after 4 am. I’m wide awake. I went to sleep around 10.30 pm. It is so annoying to wake up in the middle of the night for no real reason. No urgent need for bathroom. No nightmares. No snore monster. Last caffeine was around 3 pm yesterday afternoon. No alcohol for at least a week.
Go figure!
