Raining here now.
The weather is very Scottish so we're having haggis, neeps and tatties for dinner tonight.

Yorkshire vet? The elephant hospital?
Not too many elephants round these parts. The vet would have to expand his client base a bit.

Someone just tried to ring me from a withheld number. I didn't answer, on the grounds that nobody I know would withhold their number. Somebody trying to sell me something, or abuse me? :whistle:

Then I remembered that someone tried calling me once from a withheld number to tell me that I had won a competition. I ignored that call too, but they emailed me instead. The thing is, in the t&c of some competitions they say that the prize will be given to someone else if the winner can't be contacted... :eek:

Now I can't stop wondering who it was. I suppose if it is important they will try again! If so, I will answer the call.


If you have medical appointments, it is possible the call is from them, they frequently withhold number on such calls, in my experience

On 18th June I went out with a group of pals who all turned 70 during the Covid years . A meal followed by visits to a few very crowded pubs. I picked up Covid ,, despite my vaccinations, and am only coming around to feeling a bit of energy returning now. Heard some Aer Lingus flights were cancelled due to staff having Covid. Its not gone away so be a bit cautious out there folks

Thought that department had been moved to Huddersfield.
Apparently not! :okay:

I did make sure to ask anyway. It would be really annoying to end up at the wrong hospital!

Yes, that is what it turned out to be. I think that it is really annoying. Why can't the NHS call from an official phone number, or at least get that number to show up on your phone so you can see who it is?!

The local anticoagulation clinic do the same thing. I have their number in my mobile's phone book so I would know it was them when they call me, but instead I just see 'Private Number'.
