Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annb" data-source="post: 2763495" data-attributes="member: 25851">6.9 at 04.15 today.  Been up and down a bit since then, but not too bad.It was legs day today so Neil left me at the Health Centre and went off to do the shopping.  The Co-op is still fairly empty and even the more exotic things (like the tinned black beans I wanted) are all sold out - presumably because tinned baked beans are not to be found anywhere.  Then he found that none of the local suppliers had the piece of wood he was looking for.  At least his new glasses were less expensive than he had anticipated, so that's a plus point.It wasn't particularly hot when we went out, but it was by the time we got home and it was very bright.  The sun was burning any bits it could reach through the windscreen and side windows.  Still, rain and cooler weather are forecast - just as well, the plants could do with some water.Alistair was telling me that he was held up yesterday at the end of his delivery because outside the last house he had to go to, a couple were walking 2 dogs, one of indeterminate breed, the other a chihuahua.  As he walked by the chihuahua tried to reach him, but he didn't stop to pet it - that is now forbidden.  Nevertheless, the dog seemed determined and, as Alistair walked away to his van, somehow it slipped its lead and ran into the road, right into the path of a car.  It was killed instantly.  There was much screaming and crying and, as a result, the driver of the car did not move his vehicle, blocking the road completely.  Hence Alistair was late - not that he minded that.  He was just concerned that it wouldn't have happened if he had just stopped to pet the dog and ignored the regulation.  He's feeling a bit guilty at the moment but I reminded him that it was the responsibility of the dog owners to keep it under control and if they had, it wouldn't have happened.  Sad. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite61" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":sorry:" /></blockquote>
