Bugger - I knew there was something I meant to do earlier. The bedding changed yesterday needs to go in the wash.

This blasted autokrekt ! 
It could get peeps into all sorts of trouble. I wrote Brian Cox explaining! Now if I had put himself after it and then it was changed to exposing!

Washing that was drying nicely out on the whirly gig had to be bought in to finish off on the clothes 🐎 as we have had a couple of showers

This is a question that @classic33 may be able to answer.
I am sure that while sitting in the waiting room for the Chemo unit, I saw a notice with the title "Reasonable Adjustments" or something similar. I have tried searching for this on the NHS website, without success.
I would like to ask the Oncology Team to make what I think is a reasonable adjustment, but not sure of the definition of "reasonable" from their point of view.

The reasonable adjustments may be simply down to who's present when treatment is being given.
The AI response gives this
"Reasonable adjustments in a chemotherapy unit include providing a private, quiet space for patients to receive information or rest, offering longer appointments,"
The NHS use the standard definition to define what they mean.

I thought it might allow me to request telephone calls for some routine questions about my health (aka a pre treatment review). If I am feeling very tired, and often queasy, I want to avoid a trek to the hospital. There are problems with parking, long waits, and problems leaving the car park.
If a they need to discuss a change of treatment, that is different.

That first part should be covered under the standard meaning of reasonable adjustment, under the act. Things that you can't do now, because of the treatment moreso. Even down to parking, there's supposed to be a set number of accessable parking spaces given over to cover this situation.

From memory there's parking outside the chemo ward area at Northampton general hospital

This finally got done, I then faffed around for a bit and went out for the promised couple of hours - fairly breezy but I stayed dry even if the roads weren't and picked up some rolls for tea.
Home for a quick shower then watched the last hour and a bit of the Tour of Britain, went to make a coffee and then remembered the bedding in the washing machine
I need to start writing 'to do' lists!

Problems with management's E-Bike.
"There's a flashing light and it won't go"
Analysis like that makes problem solving so easy.
Taking the p, I foolishly asked what sort of colour the light was.
"Sort of orchard apple green"
Me: internally groan but proceed. " Flashes, were they quick or slow?"
"O, I don't know, they were flashes and it won't go. I'm late for Flower Club"
Abandoned car less and left to my own devices I repair to the shed.
Being smarter than the average bear I looked up the fault code.
Turns out 2 flashes, repeated, means there is a motor fault.
This is off my skill map. But I know I'm expected to have a go. Asperge the bike with WD40 or a trip to somewhere to get a new bike are the options
As a gesture I take on the torque sensor. What was I thinking? Well not thinking.
Fortunately experience has taught me the value of taking photos as you go along.
Eventually I have it reassembled, installed and functioning.
Might be a pyrrhic victory if the motor has really gone to the fjords.
So, move on check all the other connections and circuits I can. Still avoiding touching the motor.
Expend WD40 liberally
Poke everything I can, except the motor. I'm avoiding that.
Eventually, several hours later, I'm reduced to taking on the motor
That requires removing the back wheel. The 17mm open ended spanner has vanished. Find one.
Remove the wheel, get the gears off. More WD40 and 2nd use toothbrushes are applied. Reassemble and include grease where it might help and copper ease where it might help next time. If there ever is one.
Reassemble, reinstall the battery, press the buttons. Fault gone and things look good.
Time for a test ride. Around the cul de sac and things look good. Head into the main road. Wow, 5 levels of assistance and this thing motors, over a few potholes and all the lights go out.
Push the on button, everything is back!
Looks like a loose wire somewhere
But I checked everything. Well, except the battery carrier.
So, I start removing the box of screws that hold it all together. All different sizes and heads of course.
Then take the cover off the battery input connection.
There's the negative lead, on the connection post, but the nut to secure it is loose.
That explains the intermittent fault.
A job of seconds and I've avoided the pressure off buying a new bike - for someone else.
Cup of tea and biscuit well earned.
