Felodipine
Another trip to see the doctor and another medication to try. Hopefully this one won't cause me to fall asleep all the time.

The dog and I spent a lovely time this morning exporing. Could have walked for miles. Despite being mid-winter the Sun did it's best to shine and bring some welcome cheer. We returned home muddy and a little tired but happy.

Important Day
Forget what is happening later today across the pond. The only Donald in USA I know worth mentioning "works" for Disney LOL.
Anyway someone very special has their birthday today and not only that shares the day with the 4th Doctor (83). Happy birthday son.
I've had this since the week our local ASDA opened its doors for the first time. Pity I didn't keep the Jelly Baby I was given too.

Gap Year
Somehow after only a year I suspect this conservatory window is meant to close a bit better than this...
It's a bit breezy to say the least but the window company are booked to visit and remedy in early February.

Candle Night
2017 got off to a frustrating start. Power cuts aren't that frequent in the UK, except those due to severe weather conditions. So what I'n referring to is power company equipment failure for no apparent reason. Those outages rarely occur and are usually remedied within an hour.
Last evening at around 6.30 the lights went out, as did the heating. It's the middle of winter here meaning it is dark and cold. The electricity company predicted restoration by 9.45, quite a wait in the dark with only candles and a wind up torch. Obviously no tv, radio or Wifi to occupy the hours. Without a charger that could work on moonbeams, mobile phone charge was at a premium too.
You can't even boil water to make a cuppa, grrr.
You can imagine the joy when the lights came back on at 7.30. You can no doubt understand the annoyance when the lights went out again 15 minutes later.
Apparently an underground cable had failed and the new prediction was 3am. Did I mention how dark, cold and eerie it can be without power? Not to mention boring. All the things you want to do get put on hold; not even reading an ebook due to the lack of charging facilities.
Thankfully the good people at SSE were able to keep their revised promise and I imagine a good number of people were woken at 3am to the sound of all their electrical appliances and heating systems restarting.
Makes me wonder how did we become so dependent on electrical devices that life seemingly stops when they are taken away?
