I couldn't see the motorvan where I was sure I'd parked it, but there was no sign. Only much later did it come in to view. I'd parked much further up the car park.

The west keeps you fitter I reckon, and I'm off there soon after I've been to the hospital next week to find out what can be done about my finger. I watched the surgical procedure on YouTube yesterday.
