 I have been thinking of getting a corgi dog apparently they have become more popular, the  recently according to a bit on the radio, the chap speaking about it got his corgi locally, they are not cheap to buy.  The garden I have is not that secure either they might bugger off.  Listening to the chap on the radio they seem to be enegetic dogs which might be a bit too much for me, I shall see how it goes. I did some shopping today and will have to do more tomorrow as there is a load of bank holdiays which affects the bus service, though its shit most of the time these days.

No sign...

I can’t quite understand why an optician would give out the wrong specs, especially after supposedly testing me for the right lenses.   That said, they do change my vision in certain ways. I seem to see things further away now, which is part of why I thought of hosting a whist drive. I also figured it might be a good excuse to get people socialising again after the awful two years of isolation.   I asked a friend to help with the night—she offered to bring the cards and a raffle prize. I put a poster up in the bookshop in the next town, mentioned it on Twitter, and went around asking people if they wanted to join. I booked the room and arranged some tea.
