Welcome to my Hump of the week 🐪
Brew with a very warm hug.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I had blood test appointment early.
I get there early.
I tried to make the Blood Nurse smile.
Failed....
First I was weighed.
"Best to take off my trainers, as it will be a unfair advantage!" I said.
No smile there.
When I stepped on the scales...
I said:
"The red light is flashing."
No smile.
Blood pressure was fine.
The invisible veins were playing up, so the small needle had to come out.
I wished her a good day afterwards.
I picked up husband and we got the newpaper.
Coffee time

I had my Amazon orders arrive↓
I back up more my stuff off the computer onto my new portable hard drive.
My Birthday card comes from my lovely friend.
Lunchtime.
Back to backing up more stuff.
The Waitrose driver couldn't find my house to deliver my shopping. I went outside to wave to him as I gave him directions.
As I was taking the shopping into the house, a big lorry couldn't get past his Waitrose van. Lots of horn was given.
I said thank you for my shopping, as he reversed his van so the big lorry could get past.
Tea at 3 time.
Put the shopping away.
More backing up of the stuff off the dodgy computer.
Tea goes in the oven.
I ordered some Sage,
