I looked this up (Duck Duck Go is one of my BFFs) rather than bothering Holly for an explanation. Turns out "off licence" means a retailer that's licensed for people to purchase alcohol but not to imbibe on the premises. Unlike a pub, for instance. Off means they have to drink it "off premises."

Seems like appointments all happen in bulk. After our company left, we headed out of town for them and got lunch and dinner in restaurants. Both meals were excellent. I even had time to do some shopping and walking.

I think I need to eat out in a few good restaurants because I am going through a period of being hungry and nothing sounds good. I mean it seems like all the food I eat is the same and I want something different. Choosing from someone else's ideas of a good meal seems like the solution to my problem.

I called 9/11 last night just in case the shoulder pain I have when sleeping is not a heart attack. It is so embarrassing to call 911 when it is not necessary but a dear friend who endured terrible pain for a couple of months is in the hospital because of having a major heart attack so I thought to continue ignoring the problem is foolish.

I also don't like seeing a doctor when it is not necessary. But darnit, this pain has to stop! I am calling both my chiropractor and PC to resolve this problem. Enough is enough. I am here this morning because I did not go to the gym and pool. I don't want to make the pain worse, but if I don't do my routine in the gym and pool all of me will get worse. I need explanations and advice.

If I were you, I'd go to your family doctor and if they can't work you in ~ go to the Emergency Room. Better safe than sorry.

they certainly do... yes it's basically a retail outlet that sells alcohol. It can be just alcohol only... or it can be a small grocery store which sells alcohol. For example.. a Supermarket would not describe themselves as an Off licence , neither would a pub..... .

An Off Licence mostly is somewhere that sells Alcohol only, and usually tobacco products.. but a small shop or cafe such as in my picture can describe themselves as having an 'Off licence''...which means they sell alcohol to drink off the premises .
 
I'm trying to decide if I should call my agent on a small mobile that's still for sale in a family park.

The space rent is a concern and the fact that it doesn't have the senior park protection. I don't know if there is official protection but a high price increase in a senior park would make the news.

I'm worried about staying in this apartment. I don't even want to ask for repairs because I'm afraid they could evict me and rent it for more.
 
My 2 kitchen mats came yesterday from Amazon, so now I will toss the old rug I had at the sink and now have the new smaller one in front of my stove.

Interesting how alcohol is treated differently in different places. Many US states restrict alcohol sales to a few types of stores. California alcohol purchasing laws are relatively relaxed. Small convenience stores, pharmacies, grocers and plenty of other outlets sell it.

Not to be outdone, in Europe (Spain, I think) we walked past a McDonald's and saw that it sold alcohol. In some countries liquor can be purchased from vending machines.

You could also get some inspiration by looking at various restaurants' online menus.

there is no alcohol sold at Pharmacies here, or in Spain or in fact anywhere I've been in Europe... but of course I haven't been everywhere in Europe, so maybe there are some... I think it's more likely in the USA
 
Well I will never learn.. I batch cooked a weeks' meals for the freezer this morning, and let them chill this afternoon, and while they were chilling ready for the freezer and shortly after the Boiler service guy had been , I went out and mowed the front lawn and trimmed the hedge, then got up on the ladders and trimmed the IVY on the shed in the back .....

They could easily have been left for another week.. but I like to keep things neat enough so it's not even harder work when I get around to it again, and given that I just mowed the lawns about 10 days ago.. I could have left it.. but no, not me...🤦‍♀️... so now I'm suffering. My back is so painful, I can barely stand....so here I am again, sitting with a very hot heat pad.. and having taken a 600mg Ibuprofen , waiting for pain relief.. *sigh*
 
Trash/Garbage pick up was yesterday. Prior to the trash being picked up ~ I heard voices of two men. I looked out and saw that the men were tearing open the trash bags.

They were scattering trash too. I waited til they got to ours to go outside and 'scold' them.

I was still in my long gown, my hair was sticking up. I yelled at them to not tear up the bags. One replied that they did not scatter the trash. I noted to him that I was watching them from my living room window.

What do these people expect to find? They weren't poor.

Omg, they had mattresses in the truck 🚚 too.

One guy drove off and the other ran after the truck.

Can't say that I haven 't had a wild week.
