turpsWe went for our usual walk this morning, to the beach today, and you could tell James' painkilling injections had fully kicked in as he was flying along the prom, and didn't need to use his walking stick at all. It was nice to see and I really hope it's the start of a period of him feeling good, especially as he's back to work next week.
Yesterday was a long day, but with some fun things including going to see Blue Beetle which I really enjoyed a lot. I have no idea about the source canon but the film itself was a lot of fun with characters I found engaging.
After that, we went to the park and then picked up a To Good To Go bag from a sushi place which will be eaten for tea later today. Two days ago I had one of the best grocery bags from TGTG I've ever had. It was a new to me place, just a shop attached to a local garage, but they had a rating of 4.8/5 and I found out why as for less than £4 I got two very full bags of a variety of groceries, bakery stuff, meat, milk, oat milk, apple juice, cake, cookies, just so much, and randomly, also two ready made Peppa Pig jellies. I'll order from there again for sure.
I finished my catch-up binge-watch of Chicago Med last night. I don't think anyone who reads me actually watches the show but just in case,
While Will dipped in and out in terms of being a character who I actually liked, he has been there from the beginning so it was sad to know he was leaving. I was glad he ended up with Natalie, again, their relationship was one that annoyed me at times, but it did feel right that he went to her when he had to leave Med. I'll miss him next season.
Next binge-watch watch catch-up is The Good Doctor, which we're three seasons behind.
While hacking at the jungle that is my garden I found out I have raspberries! I hadn't been able to see them behind the courgette plants, but once I'd shifted those there the raspberries were. Not many and some were mushy due to not being picked for too long. But they tasted delicious, and never made the house.
Milo's ashes came back last week.
We were told it would take up to ten days to get him back, and in the end it was only three days. He came home in a nice wooden box with his name on and now he's next to his sisters and Tex. I know it's something not everyone is comfortable with, but for us, having them all home is important and I was very glad he came back so fast.

Mine have produced an occasional fruit, which is nice, and tasty, but nothing worth making the effort to pick in an official kind of way. But they are Not Dead, which means I can have higher hopes for next year. I *think* I may have restricted my raspberries to autumn-fruiting only, which means I can cut them right back soon, nice and easy.

These are the first raspberries I've planted and I only bought one cane from Asda so wasn't sure if it would actually grow, so finding actual fruit was a nice surprise. I have heard they spread easily though, so will see if I have multiple canes next year.
