On the televisual apparatus tonight, more from S4 of Spiral/Engrenages: Episode #4.7 (TV Episode 2012). I see that IMDb’s episode summaries are out of sync; the summary on E6 is the summary for this episode, and on this one it’s E8’s

Goodnight all

Just went on the GP’s site to order this month’s repeat prescription, and one of my medicines has been changed. Not just to something similar, or a generic version, but a completely different kind of drug; done without any consultation with me, and without informing me there was going to be a change, or advising me about anything to do with the new one such as possible side effects and what-have you. Pretty sure they’re not supposed to do that; even if they’re allowed to, it strikes me as very bad manners

I’m going to go in there tomorrow to see what the hell they’re up to

Hmm, turns out there’s been a recall of at least some manufacturer’s versions of the stuff I was on, Ranitidine 150mg, because traces of a carcinogen have been found in it: Zantac – MHRA drug alert issued as GlaxoSmithKline recalls all unexpired stock - GOV.UK

I assume this is the reason for the sudden change. Still would have been nice to be told, but maybe there’s a letter in the post

Morning all

Morning folks.

Was awake at some ungodly hour with cramp in both calves. Right calf is still sore so I guess I'll be wearing flats all day today.

Persisted it down rather enthusiastically last night. This morning it's dry, wind has died down and it's not too cold. Still dark at present. It was nice to hear the birds twittering on my walk to the tube station. Didn't last long before the traffic on Cromwell Road (A4) drowned them out.

Morning.

I’m trying to figure out how I can book a taxi in France without speaking in my non-existent French. [emoji20]

This is the only bit where technology has let me down.

Uber.... It's what I use when I'm there, and all the drivers I've had speak (rudimentary) English. Most have been Russian [emoji2962]

Bonjour

Avez Vous Une taxi pour Le airport....

Anyway quite pleasant in Manchester today - not sure where the 60 mile an hour winds went which were forecast - I sometimes think the weather people really over egg the pudding sometimes making out that the world is going to end when all we really got were a few turned inside out umbrella's - I know who i blame.

Anyway only a few more days to the Xmas party!!!

I've had the heating on all afternoon so it's like a Turkish bath in here now.

Please don't tell us your stories about your times in Turkish Bath Houses.....

Sainsbury’s didn’t have any half-shoulders of lamb last Friday (or whenever it was I went shopping), so I got a whole shoulder instead. So tea tonight has been an exceedingly nice roast lamb dinner

And the wholeness of the shoulder means there’s loads left for another meal, and there’ll be plenty after that for Scotch broth, which itself will benefit from the extra bone

We are planning to get a shoulder of lamb soon. From Joe the Butcher. Who sells meat from the sheep he raises. The one we got in the summer was the tastiest lamb I have ever known.
