It's Black Friday. It maybe Friday, but it's definitely not black, and as far I can see it's been running for well over a week and probably into next week. We did buy a new HD television from Argos to replace the Toshiba one which I recorded on here which broke down a couple of weeks ago, but we didn't intend to buy it anymore than it being on offer and not really as part of the 'Black' promotion.
Yesterday afternoon I went with Carol for her first appointment at the Macmillan Unit within Milton Keynes Hospital with Dr Saka, who is in charge of the chemotherapy which Carol will have over the next few months.
From the Hospital we drove to Argos near the railway station to purchase the television. A good deal bigger screen size than the old Toshiba set (hardly old, unfortunately, at a little over four years of age.) Took it home and we spent the evening setting it up and got it going successfully.
A relatively sunny but chilly November morning as I drove into Milton Keynes Shopping Centre. I had to go to Marks and Spencer to exchange some pyjama bottoms which Carol's mum had bought when she came up with her dad for a visit on Wednesday. I had to go to the Exchange and Return department on the second floor and without any fuss I was given a gift card with the full amount and I then went to the floor below to find the replacement item. I was helped by an extremely helpful member of staff who managed to find the particular item in the store. I have to say the lady was extremely helpful, so I told her she'd made the return/exchange easier. There's plenty of people who will complain about service, but it's always a good thing to say when service is excellent, especially when staff go the extra mile like she did. It might be Black Friday, but you wouldn't know it in the shopping centre. There weren't a particularly large number of shoppers scrambling of items. A bit of a damp squib as far as I can tell, but no doubt people are buying on line instead of in store.
After all the visits to various N.H.S. departments over the last few months, I have now got a cold. I haven't had a cold in quite a long time, but I expect if you sit in waiting rooms you're very likely to catch something off someone who's sniffling and sneezing, not that I remember anyone doing such a thing. It's not heavy. Just annoying. I hope it will be gone in a few day's time.
Incidentally, this blog is now earning me cash! You will no doubt notice that there are advertisments carried by this blog, so if you feel so inclined, and you were to click on the occasional advert that catches your eye, it means I earn a certain amount. So, thanks in advance.
This is a good deal shorter than my usual posts. Nothing much else to say at the moment, but no doubt there will be as the weekend advances.
