Raemond Jun 2023 12:58pm, 6 Jun 2023 10,512 posts	0 Raemond I went to shops, primarily to get more diclofenac because period pain is a B. I thought I would combine it with looking for more hats for the rugby thing this weekend, so I went to the shops in Belgium, because I hadn't checked the store of the chain that I've bought the other ones from. I forgot that diclofenac isn't available over the counter in Belgium. I did, at least, get more hats.

Raemond Jun 2023 7:35pm, 8 Jun 2023 10,517 posts	0 Raemond My phone states to go mad, saying the 'home ' app was crashing. The effect was that unless I had a notification in the pull n down menu at the top of the screen I couldn't open any other apps. This could cause difficulties for things like getting at the app I now need to use for work, or using maps to get to the ferry to Ameland tomorrow. Luckily it decided to have this little breakdown while I still had time to run out and buy a cheap new handset, which I'd been considering doing to have a separate work phone anyway.

On investigation I found a very large slug had taken up residence in the feed pipe between the the down pipe and the butt creating a tight plug!
