Being in a queue in Marks and Spencer, paying top dollar for their food, and only one fucking checkout open and a queue ten deep. Then to top it all, the dopey woman on the till took ten minutes to put Sparks deals on some lazy cow's card because she couldn't be arsed to put them on using her own computer.
TWATS!

Drove up in the hills to a garden centre which has a lovely tearoom, great afternoon teas with homemade cakes.
Anyway....we were 5 minutes too late to order, they were closing early because all the roads were going to be blocked off because it's the brass band competition....yep, we were also a bit brassed off.

Yesterday I went to collect my prescription and it wasn't there.
The same thing happened the week before and they gave me an emergency one and told me to contact my surgery.
I told them I had and it had been ordered but I was told no we don't have it.
Contacted the doctors on Monday and was told it was definitely sent.
After much buggering about it seems the doctors 'forgot'
Fortunately i have enough to tide me over.
Especially the Omeprazole one's, I'm paranoid about them.

This happened to me the other day. I ordered my asthma prescription seven days earlier and usually get a text to tell me it's ready. No text. So I rang doctor, they told me it's gone through so down I trot to the chemist which is attached to the doctor's surgery.
Little old lady with a walking stick in the queue in front of me. This is how the conversation went.
Little Old Lady: "I've come to pick up my prescription."
Dopey Asssistant: "What's your name?"
LOL: "Eunice Bloggs"
Dopey Shop Assistant: "Address?"
LOL: Blah blah Street
DSA: Doctor?
LOL: Dr Smith
DSA: "What do you need again?"
LOL: "I've come to pick up my prescription."
DSA: From here?"
(I'm watching this exchange and my mind is screaming - "No, from your fucking Timbucto branch!!")
LOL: "Yes."
DSA toddles off for ten minutes.
LOL: "Excuse me! Do you have my prescription yet?"
DSA: "What's your name?"
LOL: "Eunice Bloggs. I've been waiting for ten minutes now. It's been ordered and should be in that shelf."
DSA: "What? From here?"
LOL: "Yes. You took my details ten minutes ago."
DSA: "Who? Me?"
And so it went with three other customers including me. This girl was in her 20s, so not a kid. Fucking useless.

I have an appointment for the hospital, but on that day 21st,, all the trains are on strike. The roads will be chocablock. I don't live near the hospital. I rang the hospital and went through one after another, oh sorry no answer. I tried the number on the letter, went to an ansaphone. I'm working from home, leave a message. Nothing! 😠
Eventually, a few days of trying, I found another number and got through to the Sister of the department I wanted and she changed it to the day before, no.problem! I
It's got bloody ridiculous now to get through to anyone. Grrr!

It's so frustrating talking to an answer phone. You can leave your name and number....but no one ever calls you back.
I'm happy you got sorted eventually, Mags. x

Officially from Biden its the war in Ukraine, corporate greed and a few bottlenecks.
The real.problem is we printed 6 trillion dollars out of thin air, handed it out and told people to go spend it.
Well they did.
But our current administration also declared war on the oil companies right after they took office. Wouldn't approve pipelines, some drilling and we haven't built a refinery in 30 years. Oil is no good if we can't refine it..
We are trying to transition from fossil fuels, but we don't have the replacement in place yet..

Thanx Syl x. I was thinking of going up there next week just to change the appointment. Glad I dont have to do that journey now. It really wears me out.

Feeling useless. Instructions are I cant lift my leg above 90 degrees, , or bend down or forewards, I dont think we realise how many times in a day we bend, or twist around, I am sick of asking for help.
This is for the next 6 weeks, time it takes for the hip joint to gain enough strength in order to function without dislocating.
The weather has changed too.
Irritated? Yes I am.

My neighbour has got a rat in his house and I don't mean a pet one.
It's all that rubbish lying about that's attracting them.
Hopefully owning a Ratter will stop me getting any.

Yes I bet you are, but healing is a long process. Just take each day as it comes, rest while you can aswell.
