shewhomustMy knee is better today than it was yesterday: the last of the paracetamol has probably helped. I was planning to hobble down the hill to Boots to buy some more, but durham_rambler offered to drive me up to the larger branch at the Arnison Centre: he had had to borrow a charger from a neighbour, and is being careful to keep the car battery topped up. "The car could do with a jaunt," he said, and I had to remind him that this was not a jaunt, this was essential maintenance. Above all, don't let me catch you enjoying it.
I wore the pretty blue-and-white mask made for me by a very kind - and skilled - neighbour: this was a mixed success, as it tends to dislodge my glasses (they need, at the very least, re-fitting, and when I can visit the optician, I will). But I felt less self-conscious about going into the shop wearing it. Despite which, I resisted the temptation to visit M&S next door: I was tempted to go in and buy sweet goodies, but these are not essential, and while I have no qualms about adding them to my basket once I'm shopping, I didn't feel they justified the visit. Anyway, it won't do us any harm to run our of sweeties.
Anyway anyway, I have found an online source of fructose (also vanilla beans, flour and red lentils). If they actually deliver on their promises, I can bake my own.
