Eventful!

Yesterday Vin decided to go to Tesco to get a flan for our teas, plus some other stuff we had run out of. Went out to the car and nothing doing. Thought he had been and cme back very quickly when he saaid that the battery was flat, and apart from that his battery charger was flat too! Gremlins at work possibly!. brought the battery in and put it on charge and it is now ready to go again. Thinking about it, he has only been going to Tesco once a week at the moment, otherwise we have been in because of the Lockdown, clearly not enough to give the battery enough charge. 
Also on Friday the sound box downstairs went kaput. Couldn't turn it on with my remoter, and Vin couldn't turn it on with his either. He tried everything but no go at all. Eventually he got through to Bose to find that it cannot be repaired because it is obselete! and it isn't that old, about ten years or so.  They offered him a replacement one for half the Argos price so he went for that, which they are sending. We have to send the old one back, so he spent the whole of saturday trying to cbble together a box to put it into. Quite a job actually but he made a brilliant job of it really and it is being collected today by a courier. 
Busy day today, started off early with the podiatry man, who hasn't been for about ten days. The foot is doing ok, but is noot yet fully closed but looking fine.  Just keep going.  Also the  curier is due to colect the parcel with the sound box. At around one o'clock the Dr from the Diabetic clinic is due to ring for my diabetic review, which is being done by phone, instead of going to the clinic in Aintree.  Did my weight yesterday and was surprised to see very little change, also the blood sugar readings yesterday and today very god too, so all good in that respect. 
Vin has just come up to say "guess what?" the car won't start! even after the charging yesterday. Must be totally kaput, and will need replacing. Can't be done today, so will have to be done tomorrow. Talk about gremlins!
Jessie has done her usual disappearing trick when the vacuum comes out, hiding somewhere, probably under jane's bed, she feels safe there. 
I'll come down when I am ready thankyou!
