Just had a proper thunderstorm, with lightning. Went as black as night. Only lasted about 20 mins though.
Now in bright sunshine. 😀

I got a key cut as a spare for our new back door lock that I changed yesterday..
It doesn't work. I'll be walking down to the ironmongers tomorrow for a replacement 🔑

We had a few showers down here but no thunder. It is a bit breezy though.

Yup Windows is another example - Dos and then Windows was never the best system
it was just promoted and marketed far far better than any other

Quite. IMHO, one of the big reasons was IBM PC, which used what was effectively DOS (from memory, it was called PC-DOS). There used to be a saying ( legacy of the mainframe days) "no-one ever got fired for buying IBM".

Right - back from seeing a client at Age UK

I do wonder about the people who design the NHS App and all that
It was all supposed to be "everything you need to know in one place"

and the hospitals never seemed to be onboard so a lot of stuff neverr got on there
so you just see the letter from the hospital saying " everything is fine" and not the actual test results

and now a lot of GP surgeries are backing out from the system in some ways so people have to use the GP website for some things

they don;t seem to understand that not everyone who use the NHS can use a computer like a 30 year old who has been using computers and App most of his/her life

Some older people have never really used the things and they start to "get confused easily" for whatever reasons
and they seem to get forgotten

SO then a charity comes along and wants to help and we get told

naff all

Agreed. I have commented on the short comings of the NHS App and its lack of support, in the past. Sadly, there is little sign of things improving.
