I've Had The Flu Jab...
I was so tempted to turn over and carry on sleeping but managed to pull myself together but decided a taxi was required to get to the surgery. I did walk home though. I was there before the start of the clinic and found no queue this year.
They'd been allowed in early. Ir was quite bust inside but I was seen within twenty minutes. On the way home I managed to find the last semi skimmed filtered 2 litre bottle of milk. I am buying that now as I waste less and I don't always have to worry about putting it back in the fridge before it turns sour so I save money.
Also in Aldi's(its made by the same company)as another well known brand in another supermarket. There it costs nearly £2 per bottle or you can have two for £3. But my new way its 89p per bottle so still cheaper. I needed a cucumber and some peaches. Ordinary milk costs £1 so I am saving between 11p to 50p even more if I don't have to waste as much with filtered lasting long when opened. I wanted tomatoes and cherry tomatoes but they either were out of them or had not put them out on the shelves as yet.
I want to go out and was tempted to take a trip to one of the coastal towns I passed by yesterday but weather permitting I have decided to do that on Tuesday, And come back into Durham for the comedy play that is on for that one night only and make a day of it. Thinking South Shields, Whitley Bay, Newbiggin or another more secluded place if I find there is a bus service there.
So debating now whether to stay home today and rest or attempt a journey closer to home as I have been mentioning all week, I can do that in approx an hour. Its only looking around shops and outdoor market in Stockton On Tees. I don't need anything though. If I leave the trip a little longer there could be something of interest as Christmas gets ever nearer. I could go down to the river area but I am not sure I can manage that today. And that isn't going anywhere so I can do that any day of the week/any time of the year.
To be honest its pretty miserable out there and dull. The sun isn't shining so I am not missing that much.

Can you not get your mobility scooter yet?

I will get things moving(no pun intended)now its later in the year and I'm staying closer to home. I could've done with the scooter yesterday at Woodhorn :-)
A few people were using them there but I assume they lived close by or had brought them in a car. Not possible on a bus.
Wondering if I'd be selfish/if they are worth considering for trips out when a bus is used initially and should invest in a motorised wheelchair/powerchair for some journey's because they are small enough for using on a bus.
I'll tell you what has made a difference in the end yesterday and since this morning, not overused so they lose their effect is painkillers. Its good not to totally "Give in"
I'll be honest I went back to bed and got another three hours of solid restful sleep.
Probably needed after such a long day out.
If that gives you greater freedom and a bigger area to visit/explore because you can get it on a bus or train, then go for it!
