Prudence suggests that I should pay this parking ticket Promptly

  Oh my goodness.  I received a parking citation today. Here is what will happen if I do not pay the fine   This is the time scale for payment, Excuse my feet! I'll be sure to pay it in person soon after 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday. I took a risk this morning when I parked on Hillview St. for an appointment with my Cardiologist. I knew that I was in a no parking spot. BOO I'll be sure to pay the fine soon after 8:00 on Wednesday morning. I will not wait until my birthday. P.S.     I was on time for my appointment; my cardiologist was thirty minutes late.  Had he been on time I would not have been fined.  I would have been out of the building before the parking czar was on the street, Oh YEAH ?

Ah bliss! GOOSEBERRIES. (In Ihe U.K We call them GOOSEGOGS just for fun)

 Gooseberries can be grown in many parts of north America, but I've yet to have seen them grown in a back yard garden, as one would in the U.K. I could wax eloquent about them; especially the ones which are sweet, pink ; and as big as a plum. I was happy to buy these Welsh grown Goosegogs, rendered into preserves; and bought in a local British Foods Store.  AH BLISS! I shall have them on toast for breakfast tomorrow (with the toast first buttered in Irish Butter).  

THESE ARE THE DAYS MY FRIENDS - 39 miles of Urban Driving

Image
  First from my home to the Bayshore Pet resort for Cooper's day care. From there to All Angel's by the Sea Episcopal Church on Longboat Key for a Funeral. Then to my Doctor's Office at the SMH complex on Rand Blvd/Clark Rd  for SEMI ANNUAL CHECK UP with entirely positive reports.  My Personal Carr Physician is meticulous.  She cuts no corners. That being done I had a ten mile drive in heavy traffic to get Cooper  -   he was  overjoyed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooper was in day care because the outside of my villa in the Condo complex was to be spray washed -  a three hour job.  If Mr C. had been in the home he would have barked incessantly. 'Twas an unusually busy day for me, all well and good except for the urban driving.   I know now that I will never work for UBER!                                 ...
