You can’t swap Mo for a jar of chutney 🤪

Evening all.
Am sat watching Gardeners world. It’s a funny old thing , I hate gardening . I do just enough to keep things tidy, but watching it has been part of my life since the 60s and I just have to watch it probably because it reminds me of my late father .
It was a multiple race day today at the sailing club today so I am also contemplating which bit of me hurts the most out of a list of, hands, elbows, knees , lower back or hip. Think it’s my hip 😂😂😀.
Luckily once it gets to 8 o’clock I will be able to get my pain killing medication out of the fridge, a nice cold Australian bottle of wine .😀😀

I watched Countryfile tonight. Nothing unusual about that, I often do, except I have been avoiding all things royal for several days. It was about Liz and Phil's involvement with the management of Windsor Great Park. Fascinating programme and a great insight into her as a person. Of more value to me than anything else I've seen over the decades.
Mini rant time. Friday I applied for my OAP's bus pass. One page plus copy of birth certificate and Council Tax letter. Tonight I have applied on behalf of my lad with Severe Learning Difficulties............11 pages!!!! Would someone like to explain this? Disabled people have to submit 11 pages to get a free bus pass and some old fool who's reached state pension age, but forgot to apply, needs one page. Is it any wonder the disadvantaged in this country rarely receive what they're entitled to? Why can't we be a bit more humane?
Sorry rant over. Needed to vent.

Have you included the letter from his GP?

I don't think we need one as the various benefits letters seem to cover it all. I've even still got the original DLA award letter from 1996!!!!! The point you raise though is a good one. As an intelligent, educated individual with 68 years of life experience I still question have I got this form correct. Do I need a GP letter? Possibly. It makes me wild. If I'm struggling to be certain how do this less able manage? Awful, just feckin' awful. What a way to treat people.

I know I needed one, same disabled pass, when renewing mine.
An extra trip to the doctors just to collect a letter that confirmed the epilepsy was still present.
A waste of the surgery's time and mine. But the evidence was "required".

Stay safe peeps

Good morning. Philosophy done with. Sorry. Grey and drizzling here in Lancashire, lets hope it stays here as we are off for a few days holiday in God's Own Country...............or as the rest of us know it Yorkshire. Each year we go to the Richmond Walking and Books Festival which is held in Richmond, North Yorkshire. The town itself is wonderful, very compact, quiet, easily walked around and quite a lot of interest. We go with friends, rent the same Airbnb two minutes walk from the centre and have a generally good time. What more could one want? Walking and culture. Hmmmm???? Cycling and culture would be a step up but hey ho.
I have flapjack to make. I may pop in from time to time and expect to see the place in good order, you've kept everything tidy, put things away when you've finished with them and done the dishes...................................and don't let me find an empty bottles behind the sofa when I get back.......
