Ivor’s Daily Gallivant Saturday 18 February 2023: The day of the Pantomime- a day of mixed fortunes . I woke up at 6.00 and felt chilly and thought I might be showing the first signs of a cold. ‘This calls for a drop of self-administered of LTC’ I thought. So it was on with the trusty throw blanket and a nice warm lay-in until 8.00ish. Then I felt hungry but remembered to check my blood sugar before treating myself to a couple of slices of bacon cooked in my air fryer which I had with my last slice of bread. Helen phoned and said Kim couldn’t make it to the Pantomime tonight. I’m glad I took out insurance.During the conversation we touched on the subject of Helen’s sciatica. I suggested looking up treatments on the NHS website and that ibuprofen gel might help and to check on the Pharmacy website if it’s in stock. Air Fryers are a few quid cheaper in Lidl than Asda As I cooked the bacon I remembered a conversation I had yesterday at the checkout at Lidl with a lady who was buying an air fryer. I asked her how much she paid and it was less than I paid for mine at Asda. As I wrote this my alarm went off to tell me it was shower time. I had set it half an hour before: to have a piping hot shower without wasting money. The first thing I did when I got out of the shower was turn the boiler off again. As my dad used to say: ‘It’s no good getting old if you don’t get artful’ I did some work on setting up a website for these blog posts but then realised it was lunchtime. I planned to have tomato soup with a slice of bread. But I was out of bread and had mislaid my wallet. After a panic I found I’d dropped it in my armchair. Running to the Coop was today’s exercise ration (it saves time too) when I got there I went straight to cut price clearance self. I find food from there especially tasty After buying groceries, I continued working on setting up my blog but ran into difficulties when I got a payment declined notice by Site 123. There were messages on my mobile and my landline rang with an automated message. To check my recent spending was authorised and I confirmed they were. And reapplied for building a site. Summary of my day: I’ve did some work on setting up a blog. After I’d sorted out the billing issue (mild success ).So I will be ready to get to work on it tomorrow. Puss in Boots wasn’t a total disaster (I missed it but my friends saw it)….and I’d taken out insurance so will get most of my money back. ( I thought I’d let them down but forgot there would be plenty of seats available at the door so they went saw the show and enjoyed it) Actually from the vantage point of further hindsight it was a good day mostly.
