Good morning all.
A cool, cloudy start to the day here.
I have woken up with a rotten head cold, dam that aircraft travel.
I have already squeezed some lemons and the first hot lemon, honey and paracetamol has been drunk.
Harry the big tabby has to be collected from the cattery, but before then Millie has to be walked.
I'll have a session on the turbo and work up a bit of a sweat this afternoon.
Another busy day in paradise beckons. 😁

Morning
Soooo - several things to do today
have to see why my debit cards don;t work with contactless at some point
I seldom use them as I normally use the credit card for everything
but when my head went AWOL I forgot the credit card PIN so used the others - they work fine but need their PIN because the tappy thing doesn;t work - no rejection just won;t operate!
plus I need to resurrect the credit card
plus I need to ring the GP and find out how to get some more tablets I was given at A&E
after that I have at appointment back at the hospital this afternoon at the stroke clinic
hopefully they will tell me I am OK to drive - although I kinda suspect they will say to stay out of the car for another few weeks
which will bugger up child care for the grand kids
and shopping - I'll have to try out Tesco delivery as there is some heavy/bulky stuff we need soon
Oh well

Blue skies and sunshine here. I have another load of washing in the machine so I have no doubt the sun will disappear as soon as I put it outside.
lunch will involve sausages. No idea what else we will have but sausages are a def

Well, the HMIC reckoned Imowed them £1200, which was patent bollards so I got my accountant onto it.
Turns out they owe me £7527 and it just arrived in my account.
Thwt effing annoys me. Some poor sod who can't afford an accountant would have paid the £1200 and be nearly £9k worse off in NET terms, thieving barstewards.

You eat them? I thought they were just meant to me thrown on the ground for the gulls to eat. 🙂

That was exactly my "promise" to Mrs B, when she complained of the hills... ie "when we are 75, I will buy eBikes"
We bought them 3 years ago, when she was 75. Yes, I know, I am too generous

May not be the "problem" in your case, but.....
Debit cards will not work as contactless, until at least one PIN transaction has been completed successfully.
Because of her health condition, Mrs B seldom uses her debit card (typically, once per month, at hair dressers), in "tap mode". It "fails", and requires PIN input, with monotonous regularity, where as my (heavily used) Debit Card rarely requires Pin input (unless over the tap limit). My theory is that the "light use" is the problem, and upsets the banks algorithm for checking in some way.
Venison sausage and egg butty for me.

Love the venison sausage
ditch the egg - not as bad as cheese (nothing is) but spoils a good sausage butty
have not had venison sausage for ages - can;t remember whether to use ketchup or brown sauce
hmmmm
