Sep. 18th, 2018 01:20 pmSo possibly as a result of taking blood pressure tablets, I have had a dry cough since January, I've also been retching after breakfast (usually when I'm cleaning my teeth). On the 1st this actually resulted in me throwing up! I've booked an appointment with my GP.
We had an office team BBQ on the sea front, it was bring your own food but trays of charcoal to cook on were provided. The weather was fine and we had a good time. Though the seagulls were a bit alarming, swooping on any dropped items.
Packed up and returned D's Sky Q Box (after bringing it back from Holland). My apple tree had over 20 apples, unfortunately most were rotten having fallen or were wormy! I will have to check their status more regularly next year.
SF Book club discussed Stand on Zanzibar, which again I didn't complete. Continued with Ballroom & Line Dance classes. My sister and I went out for a social ballroom dance, after practice at home we were able to dance a few more styles (still won't do quickstep or foxtrot).
Went to see Zippo's Circus, which was on Hove seafront. There were demonstrators as they had animal acts (the first time I've seen this in 20+ years - the animals not the demonstrators) though the animals in question were tame horses and budgies.
Saw Christopher Robin at the cinema, bought sausage & chips for supper - but didn't eat til I got to the train station due to to fear of seagull attacks!
On the last Wednesday of the month I took the day off and went to London, visited British Library - exhibition on Windrush, went to Forbidden Planet & bought a book.
Then to the Science Museum for the SMLates - the theme was circus and unfortunately I'd pre-booked for an IMAX show - Dancing on Icebergs, which was interesting but ate 2/3 of my evening, and was not circus related. I had to leave early to get to see “Resurrecting Philip Astley” which was circus related and very informative, and finished the evening,
Continued to make Delay Repay claims against the rail companies, and getting eVouchers of £1.50-£2:50 for each delay, they mount up. My season ticket allows me almost unlimited travel between Gatwick, Brighton and Worthing and Horsham (without additional cost), so whenever I need to travel outside this area I've been using eVouchers, so my journey to London was effectively free!
