Good morning from a mostly sunny and currently dry Suffolk. I think the five days of travel, eating, drinking and music finally caught up with me as there was the unexpected snooze in the afternoon and then an extended good night's sleep last night.

Coffee has been had and a bit of cupboard staring has been done while trying to decide whether to do a full shop or just get some rolls to go with soup for tea later. As long as it stays dry, I'm planning on going out on the bike for at least a couple of hours to get some fresh air & exercise. Domestics can wait until it's wet.

The commute across the landing completed without any trouble

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

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.

Quick coffee then it's out with the roller & brushes..🥢

Ah! A Constable Turner in the making!

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

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

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!
