 It tipped it down this morning, I was going to go to Britford with the walking for health group and hopefully get some jam, but I changed my mind.  I did the washing up and walked up Fisherton Street, then took cover at the vintage store as it began to rain hard again.  I'm doing a Christmas French knit for the crafty girls, it's going well so far.

I'm hoping to visit Weymouth on Saturday, I'm hoping the weather will be much better than today.  I had Cornish pasty, beans and mash today.  Jane who works at the cafe was telling me about her troubles with her mother who lives in Yeovil, then Kim made a shocking statement that the queen is dying!  I can't imagine life with another monarch, but she is in her 90s now.

I left at 2.30 and stopped at Franklin to get some silver thread for the green wool I'm adding to my Christmas tube.  I keep getting stupid heartburn, especially at night.  It seems to get worse when I look at my mobile phone screen.

Our new prime minister is going to put a cap on the energy price rises, some people say it won't be enough but I guess she can't please everyone.

Further note :(

The queen died peacefully this afternoon at Balmoral castle, I don't know any other monarch apart from her, I'm shocked and saddened.  Her family must be devastated and it will be all over the newspapers tomorrow, this is the end of an era which must be recorded.  When I left my parents the news on channel 5 was saying she was comfortable, it only took 20 minutes for me to get home on the bus, but by then as I switched on the TV she was sadly gone.  Who will do the Christmas speech now?

Been so busy over Christmas which just shot by. Went up aunt Joan's, Karl rang Alan while we were at Dunchurch to ask where we were.  We went the London road route, I was relieved when Alan turned up. We went to Elliott's field a shipping complex near Brownsover estate,  most of the shops are closing in the town and may be turned into flats.  I don't even know how long shops will last, because everyone seems to shop online.  I'd rather feel the product, then have to return the stupid thing because it didn't look like what was in the photo. When my parents came to Rugby in 1967 Rugby was a different world.  It has changed a lot, we used to park at Rugby precinct now renamed Clock Towers.  Someone got killed while under the ift fixing it, how horrible in that?  Alan knew one of his friends, what a way to die. Sometimes when I'm in the bathroom, I can hear speeding trains going through the station on the way to Manchester from London. We get this in Devon...

There's days I feel like writing, and days I don't.  Looks like things are going as they are until June, mos of the summer will soon be over and I can't bare the thought of that and not seeing my parents. Awoke to the sound of emergency verhicles going past, sounded like police cars. I did a perscription for Lisa at no 11 this morning, I'm happy to help.  Dot my neighbour is in hospital as she's broke her leg, poor thing has breast cancer.  I met her brother who seems a nice chap, also we have a couple of new black birds visiting ther garden.  Lisa has called them Billie and Elsie, I hope the perigrins from the cathedral leave them alone this time.   I caught my grill alight couple of days ago when I tried to cook some burgers, I finished them off in the oven.  I will have to use my George Forman machine now, as when I tried turning the grill on to do some fish fingers, my electrics flipped so my TV and heating went off.   I went for a walk r...

Weathers a bit gray today, but it was lovely yesterday.  I went to Tesco extra on Southampton road and the waiting time was horrendous, so I'll doubt if I will wait there again if that's bad.  I had heartburn last night, and its back again today, It comes in waves so I hope it's not a sign of Corona.  Even B and M have a waiting time to get in, althrough their so called glass protective panels are not good. I clapped for the NHS last night and took a video with my phone.  Going to stop now as chest is really hurting.
