Valentine's Day

Today I used the Blue Card for the first time. I also used my new walking sticks. Both worked well.
I had to go to the dentist because it is so long since I last went. I had a filling which was done rather quickly and easily.
The dentist is in the same building as my doctor in Mid Yell. When I came out and waited for Janet and Margaret who were seeing the other doctor mine came out, shook my hand and told me she had a prescription for me. I said that Janet was probably collecting it at that moment. She was and gave me the envelope with tablets in. I shoved it in  a pocket. When I got home I found it was for something new. I did not know why it was being given me. (I can guess.)
So tomorrow will be spent getting information about why.
Janet and Margaret had lunch at the shop as it does food on Friday lunchtimes only until the tourist season starts. They brought back a soup made with lamb and potatoes. I think the lamb was local.
I'm still knocking back crisps, chocolate and power drinks. I have started to put on weight  again so everyone seems happy with that.
Recently I started having the occasional Ginger Wine but I think I might try and do some damage to a bottle of malt whisky I have had since Christmas.
I have played hnefatafl with Paul, the school teacher and won, chess with Avalina, a neighbour and won. I also played three man chess with Avalina and her husband Peter. I won again. Finally I played a version of chess on a ten by ten squared board with three extra pieces over the normal set. This was against Peter. I only drew. I must go back and try again.
The new super doupper beds are now in Shetland but because of the delays to other work caused by the weather they may not be delivered to the new house this week.
We went to have a look and the doors are on and looking good. The floors are laid and the kitchen is being installed. The bathroom, toilet furniture and sinks are due imminently.
We were able to see the ponies. They were grateful for the apple and seemed very happy in the garden that we have almost bought.
The last thing to happen will be the road surface in front of the house. That should not be long now.
