I'm sorry to hear you are unwell.

Great to meet you both Phil.  We throughly enjoyed the cruise too.  We were lucky disembarking and only a minor delay for the last couple of coach passengers.

 

Blimey, I’ve only lurked (intermittently I hasten to add!) for 18 years (registered for 12) before finally posting….  

 

 

Welcome aboard @puddledpotter. Good to meet you too and that you got through disembarking unharmed. Now you have made the leap we hope you will join in the banter.

To the young people who grew up with One Direction this is the big news and is important. One Direction are their Beatles.  Unfortunately Britain is obsessed with celebrity.  Schools around the country have expressed concern that blogger and celebrity are the most quoted career choices.  

Glad to say neither of my 2 granddaughters have chosen either and are now at Uni studying engineering and law.

Morning all, weather seems to have changed this morning looks damp and foggy. Busy day to day take grandkids to school then the car is going in for service and mot I’ve got a courtesy car so will go and do some shopping. Have a good day everyone.

Morning hope everyone is good,or some cases those who have got the ...

"You Know Whats"  or the "unmentionable's"  I really hope that you are on

the mend and feeling a lot better today.🙂

Can you imagine phoning up the doctors with such an ailment ? ....😉

Doctors surgery how may I help you ?

Er yes I'm phoning because our Syd has got .."You Know What"

Doctors surgery  He's got what ?

Yes that's right .

Doctors surgery Sorry we don't understand and we need to so we know what is what.

 

I guess that would be a long phone call without the word Covid within that call.

Oh by the way ,our Flu jab was not a problem so Monday the 28th ,we will toddle off

to our chemist ,to nip in the back room where she will give us a shot of "You know what 🙃

 

Hope you all have a great day -Take Care 😀

I had you know what a couple of weeks ago. I think I picked it up on our cruise. The timings pointed that way. I had a bit of a cough, but so did half the ship. When we got home DW made me do a test....oh poo.

I’ve tested +ve this morning 🙄

First time!

Feeling fine, so far anyway

Best wishes to those afflicted who are not so good.  Everything I hear says “Listen to your body and don’t push yourself”, so that’s my advice to you and to myself

We’ve got a lovely sunny morning, which is a treat after so much rain. I’ll take the dog out, with her ball, so she can have a good run round whilst I stand still and get some Vitamin D therapy

I guess I’ll go back to looking at 26/27 cruises …

 

(Ironically, we were booked for flu & Covid jabs tomorrow.  Cancelled them Tuesday when OH tested +ve.  So that’s something to look forward to when we’re better 🤣)

The after effects of my flu jabs were worse than my covid symptoms. Hit after a 24 hour delay, but gone now. DW said "How's your arm? are you less shivery"..... I'm feeling a bit better this morning dear, I'll be OK. How are you?. She didn't have any problems...Men get hit by these thing so much more than the Ladies.

We both had flu and covid jabs in the same arm on Wednesday, other than some stiffness overnight Wednesday and early Thursday, we have both been fine, less of a problem than all previous years. We had the Moderna jab.

My doctor's surgery informed me in June that they were being forced by the government to move to online appointments and only those without computer access were the only ones who could call for appointments.  Cue chaos in August when my husband's medication was messed up before we went on our cruise, just a one off teething problem I thought. Late September I get my six monthly blood test and check up reminder, book a 30 minute appointment please can only by telephone.  I called first try 25 September - i remember vividly as it was my birthday- 1 hour 40 minutes waiting and cut off.  Repeat performance every day with well over an hour waits to speak to anyone and also a mysterious just cut off immediately you choose the reception option.  Finally get to speak to someone last Friday afternoon, appointment booked for Tuesday afternoon.  Call received Tuesday morning, sorry the doctor is sick, please can we rebook? Okay first appointment 31 October.  I need another water sample bottle, yes come in.  Go in yesterday to get it, sorry we haven't had any delivered so there aren't any available.  Call us next week.  No sorry I'm not calling you it took over two weeks to get the appointment, I'll go to the chemist.

 

Hang on, two weeks? Can you explain. Relate long story.  Notes taken, we will sort it out.  This morning phone rings at 8.10am. Hi I'm the senior practice manager calling re your experience.  Long conversation ensues.  So you were just getting cut off or not into the queue and your telephone providersays it's because too many people are trying to join the queue? Yes.  Okay we will fix this, we have a button which will stop you being cut off, it will make a queue ....

 

I've lost the will to say anything else at this stage.  Nice lady goes on to explain that central NHS made them go computerised as it's more efficient as they have recruitment retention problems due to patients being aggressive.  I never said it but I think it just might get worse with this new system!
