14/09/21 Boules, and double Senna

Nearly halfway through September and at least we've had a few Indian Summer days to remember and give us some good walks. Leaves are late to turn this year - hardly any colour showing yet, and in some recent years it's been well advanced by mid-August.

Boules at Hanbury Gardens (the Epping club) yesterday morning. Despite leaving at 09:10 I only just got there by 10:00 - lots of road closures in the last few miles that forced a couple of deviations from the route before I found a way in.

Played three games, lost the first one badly and won the other two. The bowel management worked OK and I've compensated with double Senna last night. Fingers crossed. Not planning to go out until the evening so a good opportunity for another Furosemide with the breakfast pills.

After the games finished I hung around for tea and biscuits and chat. Got some interesting ideas about grip and related matters.

Ongar Boules are putting on a lunch for Sunday,which is Finals Day for our internal competitions. I shall,of course, make some Cheesy Parmesan Biscuits. The timing doesn't work for the Tesco delivery, so I shall have to mount an expedition to pick up some mature Cheddar and a few other things. I shall wear a facemask and distance as far as possible, with a bottle of sanitiser handily in a pocket. Might get that done later today, if the Furosemide allows. Otherwise, Wednesday or Thursday will be fine.

Quick update on those rashes: They've gone and no new ones have appeared. The possibility still exists that they were insect bites or the result of brushing past stinging nettles or similar.It has, BTW, been a very good year for nettles. Several regular walking routes are near impossible with exposed legs.
