not much

 It was a strange day, and it is sad that it is no longer possible to get out of bed easily. This seems to be one of the facts of life and of getting older. 

Attempt to fix all the files, and then discover that there is one missing. This is sad. It will be possible to recover it from the raw files on the chips, the ones that do not get thrown away. But this will take time, it is a nuiscance.

It is afternoon before venturing out onto the streets, and proceed straight to the car park, the one that is ridiculously jammed full of christmas shoppers and the like at this time of year. Leave the car  park and then stop at a supermarket to buy eggs.  Spend some time finding the eggs, they are hidden behind the vegetables. 

The woman at the till is slow and friendly.

Take the car through the tunnel, and then through the town. At this time there are free local parking places for residents.

And then return to the house. The heating device for the rooms has arrived. Unpack it, read the instructions, and assemble it. It is no trouble. It is just a simple white radiator. It is supposed to work using infra red radiation, but there are some doubls as to whether this will work. Leave it switched on, and watch the temperature sink to fourteen degrees and stay there. At least, the device makes no noise.

In the evening, go out to the pub.

The pub on a Wednesday night is actually less boring than on a Monday night.

But not much.
