Woke early, coffee and crosswords in bed.
Rose, gathered together what I needed for a morning of Knit and Natter.
More for the natter than the knitting.
Decided on a piece of Marmite toast for breakfast (last slice of bread), I would shop after the Knittering.

After half a slice (with small glass of milk), took a bite, chewed,swallowed and sneezed. Mouthful stuck in my throat, started to have a well known burning sensation and a pain where the toast might be.

Dashed to the loo and thankfully ejected that which had been ingested followed by earlier intake. Thoroughly shaken , decided to have a quiet morning at home.

Lunch, no problem. Time to food shop, including frozen stuff.
Done in record time, hoping to get frozen stuff safely in the freezer before starting to defrost. Rather warm walk home.

Put key in lock, turned key, nothing happened. Checked it was the correct key, tried spare key, kept in my purse. Zilch.
Another key would open other door, not often used because of concrete staircase up to kitchen is an accident waiting for me to happen.

Used key then realised I had locked the kitchen door from the inside as a security measure.

Saw that a male (practical type) was in. Asked for help.
He tried key, same result. Decided that if I held the handle down and he tried to push door upwards at the same time the rods in the (not wooden) door edge might engage. It worked!

Unpacked and decided not to spend the early evening sitting in the garden enjoying the weather in case I couldn't get back in.

Man coming to fix it tomorrow!

Blimey Daisy, hope your frozen stuff didn't de-frost. Is the door made of UPVC ?.
Question Author
Yes Tony, not my choice, another of her ladyship's so called improvements
Should be quite an easy fix, Daisy. The 'Man' will most likely change the lock.
Question Author
More keys!
Yep, but just throw the one to the knackered lock away.
Question Author
Will need some spares, son, daughter, purse, secret place.
If he changes the lock there should be three new keys with it.
Question Author
Only got two when door installed and one had to go to the letting agent.
There's usually three with new locks for UPVC doors these days, Daisy.
sounds like a reason to have another rosé, Daisy, after that first one of the day you mentioned - line 2......are you ok now?
Or a whiskey, Daisy. no water mind.
Question Author
Might have been a flower on my pillow DT. (I wish)
Fine now, thanks. Think I'll have yoghurt and fruit tomorrow. Ooops! just noticed the hurt after yog.

Solaced myself with my first Pimms of the season.
Pimms, how very Wimbledon of you, Daisy.
Question Author
At least I didn't have to pay 8 quid for it.
Very true, Daisy. Strawberry's and cream with it ?.

I should have said earlier that it's three keys with Yale replacement locks.
latest thing at Wimbledon is to have a Pimms slush.....
How much are they, DT.
Question Author
Cheaper, only £7.50!
Plenty of water in it though with that ice slush.
gin, red martini and make your own!
