Had To Get Out Yesterday...

I managed up until around 4pm and had watched two old films on TV, The Magic Box with Robert Donat and one with Astaire and Rogers, got some extra sleep in but I hopped on a bus to Darlington and came home with a nice scarf for £5 but more importantly found some fingerless gloves that turn into mitts when you pull a kind of buttoned flap over the fingers. I lost the previous pair and could not find any in the retailer on my town where I purchased them but the branch in Darlington had some.

I found a couple of small items to make the cooking of bacon and potatoes easier in the microwave ovens too.

It seems cold and nasty outdoors so its bed and radio listening this morning. TV in the afternoon, making up a buffet for tonight and then bingo in the evening. I am not going out, I have no reason to. I feel quite warm though the heating isn't on, The new doors could be helping on top of it being mild still. Also wearing the right kind of clothing indoors as well as plenty of warm drinks helps.

My gout has all but gone away for now which is welcome news and yes diet may have played its part but it has been pointed out again that certain medication drugs such as those I have to take can also cause it and its important to drink plenty.
