I used to keep cheap Superglue at home for cuts in awkward places wot are difficult to dress/bandage, especially on one’s own. A Noo tube for each injury.

Bleeding head injuries are a different category, & need medical attention , preferably not with sodding staples…
Effing weekend crises…

I did ASK for not-staples, but the head honcho was determined. The treatment escalated from glue to stitches to staples by the seniority of each person who looked at it.
Come on, Fishy
You were only the Patient… 
Seriously though, you do make a valid point about the decision-making chain…

Better than “ooh, go on, I hardly ever get to use the fish-stapler”.
Are you suggesting that they keep a special one just for me?
Horrors!
Not at all, though they sterilise it after each fish they use it on.
The Bull has left to get the groceries forgotten yessterday from a mislaid list
This time of day he can hit the butcher’s shop as well so we have proper meat for the week
Not stupourmarket offerings that need long cooking to tenderise the meat
At least we can do slow cooking in the slow cooker
I buy most of my meat from the butcher, & then freeze it myself. There are exceptions though, as he doesn’t usually have pork or lamb mince.
Not sure where one could get goat meat in Chesterfield either, but Adam’s Happy Hens would know.
The Co-op used to have a butchery counter too, & their meat was always good quality. That is long gone, as is the main store, but there has been a rise in the number of small local Co-ops*, & their meat is still good, if they have what you want.
These days, of the big supermarkets, Morrisons meat is very good quality, &, here at least, they will cut to your requirements.
*The Co-op thing gets up my nose, as there are 2 in this part of the country, & membership of one doesn’t transfer the benefits of the other.
Sigh.

Sadly here supermarkets are not premium meat - I prefer a butcher who goes to the farm to select and buy his meats
And it is easier to buy the quantity one wants not what the supermarkets think is enough in a pack
Of course you do, Twellsy, as do we all, in principle, but there has to be choice for everyone, & there isn’t always access to an handy butcher at an affordable price.
Supermarket meat in Austria is, generally, of very good quality, because butchers shops are few & far between. There is a huge drive to buy regional produce, & not highly processed food, but, & this is the same in most of the world, the highly processed is much cheaper, & many many people can’t afford to question the provenance.

I know that and I will chop and change butcher meat with cheap er stuff to stay on my housekeeping budget
Three weeks ago I was diving into Lidl’s special offers on meats
The Bull hates shopping and it is a chore for him to do the food shopping
So he will go to the butcher and then the sonic boom you hear in Tossco is a faster than sound Bull racing round with a trolley
We have had this conversation many times & oft, & between Brexit & Pandemic things haven’t improved, indeed, in some areas they are getting worse.
Sigh
I have just shouted at someone over the 'phone. Nasty trick of using the local dialling code which, when it came up on my Mobile, I answered.
Some cheery bitch on the other end of the call arsked Mr C how he was feeling today…
I answered that, as he has been dead for almost 11 years, I wouldn’ t imagine that he felt too great.
Time forran Snoozette, methinks

Grrr.
Snooze well, Darling.

Works for tarantulas. Or so I am told by Nick the Print. Had it been Nick the Vet, it would carry more weight.
Yeah, cracked carapace can be very nasty.
“I don’t know where I’ll be then, Doc,” he said, “but I won’t smell too good, that’s for sure.”
Works for broken nails too, the sort that break too low down to be cut off without exposing lots of sore nail bed.
Just back from getting my flu jab from one of the practice nurses. I do usually find these things are better done by a nurse rather than a doctor but all this occasion, all I can say is OW!
Sympathetic wincity, TFM. But still good it’s been done.
The Bull had his flu jab yesterday and he said it was OW
I have the filling for a steak pie in the slow cooker
Dough will be made tomorrow and the pie cooked in the remoska
I hadn’t seen this particular nurse before, and strangely, she warned me that ‘it might be a bit ouchy’. Makes me wonder if she knows her limitations when it comes to painless injections.
DiL had both 'flu jab & Covid booster done at work last Wednesday.
She worked from home on Thursday, as she felt so ruff, & had to go home early on the Friday.
