Yesterday I started moving a lot of furniture to make it easy for the old stuff to be taken away and the new stuff installed.
I was somewhat interrupted when my Best pal called to tell me he was about to leave for r home, it would be the last time this year as he had put his caravan in storage for the Winter. He told me his Wife would be calling a little later to see me and the new car.
naturally we had a most pleasant time together and time flew by, it seemed just a few minutes had passed when the door bell rung, in fact it was well over an hour.
The three of us chatted for quite some time and eventually as it was beginning to get a little dark he asked me if I would show her the car. Naturally I went and drove the car out of the garage, she was impressed and after a good look round and naturally sitting in the car it was time to go.
It was sad to see them go but as I said to them, it will soon be March. That is when they will be down once again.
Today I finished getting ready for the delivery. I waited and waited, the delivery should have been this morning. I did have my dinner and went out to do a little work on the driveway.
Soon after 2. 30. pm. the phone rang, it was the nice lady who sold me the gear, she told me she doesn't normally work on a Friday but as there had been so busy she called in only to find that the van had broken down and asked if I had been contacted. With a negative response she told me she then decided to contact me. She asked me if Monday delivery would do, I told her yes and she told me she would contact me on Monday morning. We will see. More soon.

Shopping
I rung my mate up on Saturday and he was willing to take me shopping in Skegness and suggested Tuesday. So this morning I went to see him.
As soon as I arrived I could see why he didn't come to see me as his place is in a state or refurbishment and still has lots to do. When it is complete he will have a lovely homely place with all the modern pieces in situ.
He showed me what he had already done and what he had planned, I only hope that he comes over in about 3 weeks just to give him a break from all the hard work he still has to do.
Anyway back to me, we left his home and I told him I wished to call at Home Bargains, Furniture shops, Lidl, and Tesco. Off we went and parked free and walked to Home Bargains, I told him I wished to look in there but of course he was using his head, he suggested that we call on the way back that way we would only be carrying the goods I bought back to the car. We called at the old Co-op and looked at the sofas, as my mate said it gave me a good idea as to how much the sofas would cost. It was a nice place and had some good bargains on several things. We left there and he took me to Poundland, it is just as he said it was not a smart upmarket shop but you had to be careful what you bought as everything was a £. I bu=ought a diary and we left and went to Wilco but saw nothing there but to or surprise it was quite busy, generally with Halloween stuff. Until recent years nothing was thought of Halloween but it really has become very popular.
We then walked back to Home Bargains where I bought a couple of items, the first was a Bathroom cleaner and the second was a hand fork for the lad who is on Holiday. I found a cheap pair of secateurs that I will give him so the will compliment him with a small trowel that I gave him earlier this year.
We went back to the car and found that we only had 10 or so minutes left with the free parking, so off we went to Tesco. To be honest I think my mate uses Lidl far more than Tesco but I find it good value for money if you shop right. I bought some of their own Special Flakes a box of Cornflakes and a couple of 4 pints of milk. I then noticed they had some Flora Pro Active on for £3 so I bought one, my mate informed me that Lidl sell it at their place but I told him it was a great price. We paid for the stuff with cash then off we went to Lidl.
I had made a list and to be honest it is the first time I bought everything on my list, generally thanks to my mate. I did notice that had I bought the Flora Proactive it would have coat nearly 40 pence more but we did save on other things. The only problem is queueing up to pay.
Now I must tell you I have never used a credit card to pay with a PIN number so I asked my mate how to go on. When it came to our turn I asked my mate if this was the place to put my credit card in? He kindly said it was not as that was where the till receipt was issued. The lass on the till thought this was funny, all I said to her was that if she lived long enough she might have the same thing happen to her. Anyway I followed his instructions and the credit card was accepted. So now it was off to a place that he knew and said it was good but he hadn't been there for some considerable time.
I would never have found it as it is not on the main thoroughfare. We walked in the warehouse and immediately could see that they had a large selection of beds, sofas, and dining room tables and chairs on display.
We started to look round when the Sales Lady came out, immediately she noticed my mate and had a few words with him and he told her we were just looking, she then told us if we needed any help just ask. It wasn't long before we were asking and with my mates help, assistance and advice I finally bought a second hand sofa that had been professionally steam cleaned and 2 brand new easy chairs. Prior to purchasing I asked her if they would take my old furniture away and install the replacement, which she readily agreed to this at no extra cost. I asked her if she would accept a credit card and she told me there was no problem so I told her I would pay there and then. This time I did it myself and it was immediately accepted. With that she asked if delivery on Friday was acceptable and of course I told her it would, a couple of minutes later she asked me that if it is possible could they deliver on Thursday as they had 2 men on delivery that day. I told her it was no problem. She then showed me all that was on the desk, this she told me was booked for delivery on Thursday, there must have been at least a dozen orders to be delivered, so I don't expect to have mine till Friday but that is no problem at all. I will be ready on Thursday just in case.
With that done I then took my mate home, mind you he had to tell me where to go as I was completely lost. I told him as we were driving to his place that I had thoroughly enjoyed the morning with him and I appreciated what he had done for me. To be honest we have always go on very well since I first met him at Seaview Car Park in Mablethorpe in the early nineties.
Off I went back home and arrived soon after 12.30.pm. By the time I had put the goods away I managed to get my dinner just before 2.00.pm. Not bad as we had had a successful day. More soon.

Surprise!! surprise!!
Yesterday I had everything in order. For a start I would go to the local Surgery to try to make an appointment for my Shingles jab, then I would go to the bottle bank which is only a few yards from the surgery. After that I would call at the Newsagent to pick up a weekly T.V paper. Then I would go to the dental Surgery in Mablethorpe for my second fitting. Finally on my way home I would call at the local warehouse and pick up a couple of items.
Off I went to the Surgery leaving a hour before my appointment at the Dentists. The receptionist asked me if she could help me, to be honest I have found all the receptionists very helpful indeed.
I informed her that a fortnight ago I had my flu jab and was informed that I was eligible for a Shingles jab but no vaccine was available and I should wait a while before I made an appointment.
On typing my name it showed that was eligible for the Shingles jab show she checked and told me that if I wanted I could have it today at 1.40.pm. I informed her that this was not possible as I had an appointment in Mablethorpe at 12.30.pm. with the dentist and as I was a diabetic I would then be too long without any food. She told me to wait and asked if anything could be done, after about 2 minutes she asked me to sit down. I told her that I could make another appointment another day but she told me it was no trouble and she would see what she could do, so I sat and waited. After about 5 minutes she called me and told me she had made am appointment for 1.00.pm. adding that she had moved all the other patients back a little to accommodate me. I thanked her for her dedication and she told me that it was no problem. So off I went to the Bottle Bank to get rid of a few jars.
Driving to the Newsagent I noticed that the Post Office was gutted, not that they are making it any larger but we will wait and see. I picked up my T.V. newspaper then off I went to Mablethorpe. I looked at my watch and could see that I had plenty of time so decided to call at the warehouse first before my Dental appointment. While I was in there I saw this colleague, the one who asked me if I was Footplate Man he was pleased to see me because he hadn't seen me for a few weeks and wondered if I was alright. I assured him that I was fine but had been to the Dentist for a few weeks so I wasn't calling at my usual time of early in the morning. We had a few minutes talking then I proceeded to pick up a few things then off to the Dentist. By the time I got there I was about 15 minutes early but decided to book in anyway. No sooner had I sat down when his assistant called me in. I asked him how many times more would I de calling as I wanted to have the money ready to pay. He told me that a couple of times more should see it through. He then checked the dentures and told me that was all for today and I was out within a few minutes.
The Dental Surgery is upstairs in a complex so I went down to the Reception and informed the lass that I had an appointment for 1.00.pm. but it was warmer to wait here than in my car, she agreed and told me where to sit and wait.
I was sitting down when I saw a Nurse Practitioner, it must have been 5 or more years since I had seen her she was a very nice Nurse. Someone had told me she had retired. She saw me and smiled I then asked her if she was working in Mablethorpe because I had been informed that she had retired. She then let me know she had left about 6 years ago but she was back working. I reminded her that she was one of the first Nurse Practitioner's in Sutton Surgery, she agreed that she was. We had a few more words then off she went.
I sat there for about 20 minutes alone but then the odd person began to arrive for the flu jab. Soon after 1.00.pm. I was called in for my Shingles jab. I certainly couldn't complain about the service I was given.
My next Dental appointment is in early November so hopefully my mate will be able to have a day with me next week. More soon.

Mexico
The lad from next door came to see me, he is looking forward to his holiday in Mexico. Mexico was chosen because his carer has a daughter who lives in Australia and she once told me that this was just about the half way point from where her Daughter lives and here. I have not bothered to check it out but I presume it is more or less correct as a holiday in Mexico is not all that common. The lad told me that they were travelling down to London on Wednesday and staying overnight in an hotel then lying on Thursday morning. I asked him to take some photos so that he could show me when he came back.
When I saw him I managed to pick the last of the soft fruits, as it had been warm for a few days the late raspberries had ripened well, I also had a few blackberries and one alpine strawberry. He asked me if I would go and look at his tomatoes in thee greenhouse as he told me he had to sling some away. When I looked I could see that insufficient air was getting to the unripened tomatoes and they were rotting so I showed him what to do, well to be honest I did the work, breaking a lot of side shoots. I said breaking because they have no secateurs there at all. In fact I have supplied him with most of the items he has. I will look and I think I have a secateur that I can give him, not the best but they will do for what we will have to do.
He is pleased with what he has had, he kept telling me that he had done well. It is good for him to have a hobby, mind you it does come second to his XBox and him playing.
Today I managed to pick a few runner beans, if the weather is not frosty I should have another couple of days picking the beans but as it is turning colder and frost is forecast for a few areas I will keep my fingers crossed. More soon.

Refurbishment
When I went to get my Pension there was a notice on the window stating the Post Office would be closed for a while for refurbishment and improvement.
When my Best Pal called to see me he always tries to bring me a newspaper, this time was no different and he bought me the local Newspaper. Inside it gave details of what was going to happen with the improvements to the Post Office. To be honest I am a little worried as in general, what happens is that they spend a lot of money then decide to close the place down, I hope it doesn't happen this time. The Post office will be closed from Tomorrow and reopen on November 3rd.
I told one of the staff there that I would have to have a guide to show me where all the new placed are.
I had a parcel for next door so when I took it to her, I asked if all was ready for the holiday to Mexico. She told me that more or less all was prepared. I told her the lad was looking forward to his holiday. not that he has no holidays at all. She certainly looks after both of them. We agreed that they both would not be able to look after themselves alone. I think the lad would be alright in some sort of sheltered accommodation.
The weather lately has not been good, lots of rain and a cold East wind, the produce has more or less finished. I do have a few runner beans and with luck will be eating them for over 3 months. They are certainly the best value for money vegetable to sow. Little room is required but keeping them well watered is vital.
Next Wednesday I go to the dentist for my second fitting, I will also go to the Surgery to try and make an appointment for my Shingles jab. More soon.

Not showing off.
This morning I went to see the dental Surgeon. I did remind him that as he is retiring at 60 he will have at least 15 years of active life but as he enters the late 70s he will require a short afternoon nap, he seemed surprised at that. Anyway I also took my original dentures and let him see jut how petite they were, he told me that he would do his best to get me the correct fitting. I certainly trust him more than any other dentist. He took the first impressions and told me he would see me in a weeks time then we would proceed from there. It seems as if I will be calling at least 3 more times but if they fit better than these have then it will be well worth it.
By the way you will notice that I have covered the number plates for security reasons. You will also notice that we had many really heavy showers today, the one that had deposited a large amount of rain I just missed as I was travelling home from Mablethorpe. More soon.

Service contract
Windows have been updating things and this causes me grief, the good thing is that the screen is a nicer picture.
On Wednesday I decide to find out about servicing my boiler. With it being LPG is is important that it is serviced regular. After shopping around I finally decided to go with British Gas. They actually installed the replacement boiler.
I went on their site and was offered a chat so I accepted. Unfortunately the operator informed me she could not see my text due to security. Undaunted I decided to apply Online but when I checked all it didn't give me the information I really needed, first was LPG boiler a problem and secondly when would I get my service as it is just over a year ago when it was last serviced. As there was a freephone I decide to give them a call.
I rung the number and after waiting for about 10 minutes was contacted by a very helpful guy called Nat, he had a Scottish accent but I well understood all he said.
After going through all the options I decided to go on a Contract very similar to what I had with Calor, the difference being that the annual cost is less for this year but there is a £60 call out. I worked it out that as I had a call out last year and replacement parts for most of the system I plumped for that. He then asked me to wait while he got everything in place. I had to wait no more than a couple of minutes or so. When he came back he asked me if |I would like my boiler serviced today as he could arrange it so naturally I told him that would be fine. He then said it would be between Noon and 6.00.pm. which I readily agreed. We ended the conversation soon after that but within 15 minutes the Engineer rung me up to ask exactly where I was, as soon as I mentioned the Spanish style house he immediately told me he knew where I was and would be with me in about 10 minutes.
He duly arrived and gave it a thorough check over even going in the loft to check the things up there. He was here with me about 75 minutes and when he left told me that he would probably be the Engineer to service my boiler next year as not all were competent on LPG boilers. He did tell me that I had the best type of boiler, a Worcester Bosch I told him it was British Gas who had installed it for me.
Yesterday was windy and I get fed up with picking things up which the motorists have discarded out of their moving cars. This happened to be a plastic piece of paper and when I went to pick it up I felt a sharp pain, I had obviously been stung by something. Although my hand didn't swell up it was certainly very red and the pain didn't go away like a Wasp or Bee sting. Late last night I could still feel the discomfort and this morning when I rose the feeling was still there but not that bad. I now have looked at where the thing got me and I notice a mark such as a pin prick would make but thank goodness I can do all again with my hand.
Today I had a flu jab, I was first but naturally they were running a little late, it was Claire who took my blood a couple of weeks ago she gave me the flu jab then told me I was eligible for the Shingles injection and if I wished I could have it today. I naturally told her that it would be fine to have it today. Off we went to another consulting room where another Nurse was administering some injections. Claire asked her about the Shingles jab but was immediately informed that there was none available and I should make an appointment but not for a few days because they haven't got any of the preparation there so I guess it will be sometime before I get my Shingles jab. More soon.

He was talking about how many days he has to go before he flies to Mexico he is really looking forward to the trip. He told me he had his Tablet repaired so he could take it with him, he even bought it round to show me but then the excuse was that he wanted to take a few photos of the car which he did soon before going home.
Yesterday I picked about 2 stone of Bramley cooking apples, some will not keep as they have been attacked by grubs. but there are still quite a few on the tree yet.
This morning I went for my haircut, the car park was almost full to be honest there were just 2 spaces and I took one. When I walked into the Market Place I could see why, there was the normal Tuesday market with perhaps 10 stalls but also there is the Auction, as I walked by I noticed quite a lot of bicycles there, to be honest there were loads of items to be auctioned.
I carried on to the Barbers and there was one person in the chair so I didn't have to wait long.
When I went to pay she told me that it was free this time as I had paid for I think 5 haircuts, this was refreshing as I have to save up for the Dental treatment which will cost me well over £250.
By the way, we had on Saturday for dinner steak pie with potatoes a few runner beans, peas ans marrow. For pudding we had blackberry and apple sponge which of course he had second helpings. I don't mind as he enjoys it a lot.
On Friday I go for my Flu jab and next week again a visit to the dentist. More soon.
