Lost Pubs Walk

The Lad is recovering by Monday but is still on short lead walks only. We take him to the vet on Tuesday where they prescribe him some antibiotics which cost us £88. By Wednesday he is allowed a slightly longer walk but that still doesn’t get him as far as the park. 

I cycle on Monday as usual and on Tuesday, I’m at the match on my own as Derby beat Hull to make it four wins in a row. 

L has her usual week of runs, gym, swims and classes including her new favourite of Reformer Pilates. 

I have Thursday and Friday off work as well as the whole of the next week. Thursday though is purely to take the car in for its MOT and service. This costs £320 despite it passing everything. The car’s broken heater though is enough matter and that will cost an eye-watering £900 to fix when I bring it back to the garage after our week away. This is an expensive week already and we've not gone away yet.

In the evening we visit Daughter who is dog sitting for a friend down by Trent University. Daughter cooks for us. Whilst we are there, L and Daughter run while the Lad and I do the lost pubs walk of North Sherwood Street. Basically, checking out where I used to drink in the late 1980s but now can’t as very few of those places are still there.
