Proof of eligibility
"A copy of your Exemption Certificate for epilepsy medication and a photocopy of your prescription for drugs."
It's given for all drugs given on prescription, and doesn't state the condition.

You are only looking at part of the info which I accidentally included when doing a screendump of the hearing part. If you follow my link and look at the eligibility criteria, it also mentions the driving ban. Are you allowed to drive?

I'm sure that you could convince them that you are eligible, though some jobsworth might cause a few delays in the process!

Not allowed to drive, and should the roads suddenly go quiet near you, then someone has put me behind the wheel of a car.

Take care should it happen.

A splendid evening in the Park. Mrs Tenkaykev ran 5k with a couple of friends and I walked around the Lake. A cricket match was in progress and we had a picnic on the grass adjacent to the pitch.
The track around the cricket pitch was originally built for cycling. Poole Council received a grant to refurbish various aspects of the Park and have made a splendid job of the landscaping. It was great to see that there is now a sculpture to commemorate the history of the cycle track. They've also turned the disused Phone boxes into a flower feature.

Just been listening to a most interesting edition of Clare Balding’s Ramblings from, of all places, Coventry. So pleasing to hear of all the paths and parks and revived historical sites that are now being worked on for the city.

All a far cry from my own experience of the city in the 80’s !

Neighbor and I went on a gravel road behind Casper Mtn, which is 6 miles south of my place to harvest rocks. Took my noisy old pick up with 2-60 air conditioning and scored a few.
Good news, Pawl, about the Mrs.
Had a nice little ride today in clear air, a real treat after days of smoke.

No need to harvest rocks, you see them everywhere these days. Big ones, small ones, ones you don't see until you've hit them.

I'm assuming you're building a rock feature or garden.

Classic, I have used rocks for years in my yard for many things but in this case wanted to fix up an area with some sort of steps and make a rock border for another. It is all part of reducing the lawn in favor of less water hungry plantings. In an odd sort of way my neighbor and I enjoyed our trip in an unairconditioned, noisy vehicle, picking up rocks in the dry heat and BSing.

Morning all .
Another day when I woke at stupidO'clock. Tried to get back to sleep......no chance.
Excitement for today is.....
1. Green and blue bin collections.
2. An early Aldi dash
3. Someone coming to (hopefully) repair the tumble dryer. He has been in the game for some years so will hopefully fix it.

Good morning people, having had the strimmer hand its notice in with immediate effect last night I find the kettles limping this morning, it looks like the switch is on its way out, a generous squirt of GT85 didn't help things a lot.

Morning. A bit brighter here today. It's bin day for is as well, so that's exciting.

I'm shocked to read all the smuttiness that's going on here, what with risque little gems to BARE legs. Outrageous is what it is especially this early in the morning

Stay safe peeps

If you are in the market for a new strimmer, I recently bought a cordless Mccallister strimmer from Screwfix, for Mrs @BoldonLad (yes, I know, I am too generous), she is very pleased with it. About £60.

Morning. Eeeee it were chilly here overnight and still a bit fresh!

Morning wander up our local hill known as The Knock which always provides a good climb followed by nice views if it's clear.

I can just about make out some Belted Galloway cattle in a field in the distance.

Good morning all bright and cool here. Quite breezy too.
