Yes, I've been busy, and I forgot to come on again! Since the Fuse festival, I've been shopping. But I haven't been to the little Tesco because it was raining, so I got everything from the big Tesco on Wednesday instead. There was a Tuneless Choir on the Wednesday after the Fuse festival, but not last Wednesday because the hall was being used for something else, and they went to the pub instead, but I didn't go to that. There is a Tuneless Choir this Wednesday. Syd isn't supposed to drive at the moment because of his cataracts. Last Wednesday my Mum was going to the Doctors, and the Doctors is just across the road from the big Tesco, so When Dawn took my Mum to the Doctors she took me too and dropped me off, and then came back to pick me up afterwards. I told Dawn to come up and find me in the Tesco, and that I'd be sitting on one of the benches. But when she came in I was swapping my book at the Tesco book swap, and she walked right passed me! I had to go up and say Hi! I'm here! You walked right passed me! Anyway we went home and Dawn helped me get all the bags out of the boot. On the Thursday Dawn took me out to Costa down Eastern Avenue. I had a Vegan cheese and ham toastie and a LARGE cappuccino with soy milk! Dawn had a Latte with oat milk. Maybe I should try that sometime. We had a little chat about stuff, and had a great time. Dawn took me home, and then I did some painting. On Friday I went down town because I had to get my repeat prescription. First I went and gave a donation of books to the Oxfam bookshop, then I got a BBC Music magazine with CD from WH Smith, I got some black liquorice for my Mum and some raspberry liquorice for me and Syd from Holland and Barrett. Then I went to get my repeat prescription. Then I went to the down town Tesco and got some strawberries, some cream crackers and some baking paper. Then I went to Iceland just for some paella. Then I went home. Sunday I went to church. Mum said she'd come, but she was going to walk it obviously because Syd can't drive at the moment. But she left it too long, and she wasn't going to bother. But then she realised she had some cards to give out, so she decided to go just for the refreshments. I went down for the refreshments and I had my own tea bag as usual. They had biscuits out, and doughnuts and fruit. I made a beeline for the fruit. I had a banana, a slice of apple, a slice of melon and some squares of a more orange coloured melon, and a plum. It was yummy and when I got home I was too full to have any lunch, so I put my pickled shallots in the fridge for today's lunch instead. But I didn't see my Mum anywhere and I thought she hadn't gone, and then when I got home she wasn't there and her walker had gone! When she came home she said, What happened to you? and I said, What happened to you? Then she told me what I told you above about going just for the refreshments. But when she did get there, the people she had the cards for weren't there anyway! She said she got there about 11:30am, but I left at 11:45am, and I didn't see hide nor hair of her! So that's what I've been getting up to. What about you? What have you lot been getting up to?. I will try and come on more often! I hope you are well. Have a nice day.

Don't worry about coming in too often as real life takes over at times. You sound like you have had a few busy days. Enjoy!

You are certainly having a busy time! We all went for a swim at the outdoor pool yesterday, then worked on our sewing projects. I'm making some chair covers (I started ages ago but then they got sidelined) and eldest daughter is making a summer top.

That was a bit confusing missing your mum like that.

Yes, it was a bit strange! Like one of those comedy farses on TV where people keep missing each other.
