kateaw and I are both suffering with a grim cold at the moment. We went off to the new community hospital for a doctor’s appointment just before lunchtime. There wasn’t a free parking place, and waiting cars were sitting with engines running through the car park. Kate tells me that it is often full to overflowing during the day. I wonder how they managed to build a new hospital without providing enough parking — surely they must have run some numbers ahead of time to work out the demand?

Anyway, we parked in the Morrison’s car park across the road, and popped in for lunch in the café before heading home.

I’ve just dealt with the big decision of the evening. A mug of hot squash helps to relieve the cold symptoms, but will it be Rose’s Lime or Vimto this evening? Today I chose lime. But what do you drink to relieve a cold?

On Monday, Beth’s class dressed up as penguins and were visited by the granddaughter of Sir Ernest Shackleton. Obviously this made the headlines, so I direct your attention to the newspaper coverage of the event:
