Lunch was vegetable soup.
I think I put too much veg in it....."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Walk down to C&WH for my scan follow up. On the way down it was dry but there was a dampness to the air. On the way back, it had started that awful drizzle that doesn't warrant a brolly or putting the hood up on your jacket but it's still wet.
Now to have an MRI to close out another line of enquiry that's opened up. Although the doctor says there's nothing to worry about.Comment

Walk walked, green ring closed
Not very brisk today though, as much of the pavement along my chosen route was dappled with those sheets of ice that have started turning into slush on the surface, making them incredibly slippery, and the shoes I wore were definitely not suited for such conditions
But I had some time accrued from cleaning earlier, vigorous scrubbing being easily mistaken for exercise by the Apple Watch, and managed to make my way round a rather shorter route than usual in the remaining time.
Interestingly, some roads had entire stretches of pavement that were clear, though I'm not sure why. One such stretch ran past a large derelict house (it used to be a care home) on a corner, so nobody living there to clear it, then continued past small terraced houses for much of the road, even past junctions, before abruptly becoming icy again at what seemed an arbitrary point; and some of the longest clear stretches were on third-level back streets while main routes remained uncleared throughoutComment

Though the clear area continued for several hundred yards past it, so it must be like something out of National Treasure under thereComment

One of the things that's been sitting in the corner of the kitchen window ledge was my Thermos flask, lid on. I cleaned the accumulated dust from it, and assumed it might be a bit musty inside after being sealed for so long, so figured I'd rinse it out.
Turns out I'd left some coffee in there however many years ago I last used it
So having rinsed it out, I've now stuck a hefty dollop of white vinegar in there followed by several teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate
Then, once the reaction had settled down, I topped it up with boiling water. Leaving it to soak for a little while now, but I reckon there's a good chance that'll sort it outComment
