I worried most of the morning about the plans for the cafe visit in the afternoon. Stupid I am. While we were having lunch the Community Nurse landed to take blood.
I have an excess of red blood cells. Which can be an effect of having COPD. So a regular blood count done. Excess of red blood cells can lead to clots and a stroke. So far not been put on Warfarin. What next???
Afterwards the DP and I drove to the Prom. It was getting dark but I needed to breathe in the sea air. I sat in the car. Breathed. The DP went for a short walk and took the photos.
Deserted beach.
Plenty Oystercatchers.
So much happier we came home.

You had a great change of scene when you visited the cafe. Since the weather turned cold, about 2 months ago, I haven't had any in person out of my home social events. Unless you count fun Zoom meetings which I have. My sons visit me often, so that is social and very helpful in maintaining my sanity.
Cafe? You're brave. Perhaps I'm over cautious. Just had the gas man servicing the boiler. Screened his room off from the rest of the house (open plan - no doors) with plastic sheeting.
Me, I've taken to getting bags of Lavazza delivered - three heaped dessert spoons in a large cafetiere! Decaf in my case. Lasts all day. Ultra safe. I tell myself I've turned our house into a coffee shop.
Hooray for a trip out and coffee in a cafe - something that used to be a simple pleasure and now so complicated and worrying.
Stay safe and keep breathing that Vitamin sea
If you have to go on Warfarin it's no problem Jill. Tom has been on warfarin for 22 years after heart attack and several blood clots on the lungs. He just gets tested every few weeks and it has not affected him otherwise.

How wonderful that you got a trip out and to see your friend.
God bless.
Thrilled you managed to get a trip out and visit your friend. I enjoyed a visit to a cafe too today, it was such a thrill to feel a little normality.
That was a good outing to the cafe, cake and coffee delicious ;)
