Good morning folks,
Day two of the Airshow, cloudbase has lifted so might have sight of some of the aircraft instead of just the sound of the engines. Did a bit of shopping in Wimborne yesterday, Mrs Tenkaykev was visiting the Physio, we met up after her appointment and as we walked into town we saw our bus waiting at the stop ready to pull away a couple of minutes later. We both slowed down, as missing our bus would mean seeking refuge in our favourite pub while we waited for the next one. We managed to miss the next two busses before finally heading home 😁

See these three?

Well I've learnt something today at least - actually 2 things

1) I didn't know the binmen brought the vaccine
2) I didn't know chocolate cake was an alternative

So who is telling porkies.
Over a week ago I spoke to the GP about my repeat prescription. I was told I had to ask the pharmacy to contact them.
Approx a week ago I visited the pharmacy to arrange that repeat prescription.
They checked they had my mobile and told me they would immediately phone my GP and then text me when it was ready.
2 days ago I spoke with the GP reception who told me the pharmacy had not been in touch but ON THIS OCCASION she would do it and that I could collect it the same day (why the *£#^! hell could she not do that in the 1st case).
So today......2 DAYS later I went to the pharmacy to be told it had literally just been emailed and of course I would have to wait.......20 minutes.
So who is lying

Doesn’t your surgery have an App that allows you to order prescription, then, collect when you get a text?

The NHS app, I've got it, it was a pain to get it set up but once set up its easier than the POD phone ordering we were using.

Yes, my experience exactly. How on earth they expect elderly and/or none computer literate people to cope, I don’t know. But, once set up, it is much better than an engaged tone and/or a grumpy receptionist.

Tried at least 4 times.....they gave me a code which isn't recognised. The receptionist tried it....fail.
She told me it's useless and to just phone up.
When I do its a different receptionist who says "oh, we can't do that".

I know my Good Lady is on it, but only because I set it up for her.

Could you nip up here and set it up for me?

Please

This came up on my Facebook page. Don't know if the link will work. Looks good fun and not too technical.

Errrrrr.......can I be a pain in the arse? Please. This track has been built on Ben Nevis. Surely it's a scar on the landscape?

Saying that if I'm ever there with my gravel bike.... 🤔 Guess that makes me a hypocrite?
