My Mum's been out and got her first hearing aids fitted today, and is very pleased with them. And when she got home, there was a letter from the council saying she's been approved for a blue badge, so she now gets free parking without having to take my Dad (who's had a blue badge for years, having got one when deafness was considered enough of a disability to entitle you to one) along

And I've got something in the slow cooker, although I'm not sure what it'll turn out to be, involving a couple of beef ribs left over from Monday's lunch with the parents. It'll probably become soup, but stock is also an option.

It's turning into beef and lentil soup with the addition of a pound of braising steak I remembered I had in the freezer, diced and fried with a healthy splash of Worcester before being slung into the mix
