What are you all up to

Fingers crossed Ttda.

MiL was glad to see us back. Well she was glad to see Mrs.WN.😂 I think she prefers to have her decisions made for her at the moment plus she's very worried about all sorts of things, some understandably so but others trivial. You'll no doubt have the same scenario.😉

We're doing the open studios till next Sunday WN, today we have another learning disabilities group. It's very wet outside so I'm going to open up our conservatory for their picnic lunch, plenty of room in there and a big table to gather round.

Do hope your respective Mums, WN and TDA continue to keep well for as long as possible.

Our local surgery got cracking early on flu jabs, much to everyone's surprise so most of us have been "done." Helped by the pharmacy next door doing walk in sessions. Unfortunately we had duplicate letters advising us of all this after we had the jabs....! But I suspect it will be longer for the Covid booster.

We're just hoping the fuel situation improves for our next m/h trip. There seems to be a revolving door problem with people filling up.

We have 2 fuel stations that I pass. 1 in our local Asda I have passed several times and the fuel umps have been in full use on every occasion. It does not look like a shortage to me but a panic. I have rarely seen such a high volume of custom. The local Shell garage seems similarly under siege. 

I wonder if the press and the Government were to go quiet on the subject of the buying of fuel for 24 hours the problem would resolve itself? It is a self inflicted problem by those that mentioned it in the first place! Its perfectly natural for people to want to keep tanks topped up if they fear a shortage as you never know when you might have to make an unexpected urgent journey. It's not so much panic but self preservation. Fortunately both my car (as of yesterday) and motorhome (always fill up after a trip away)  have full tanks so I won't be adding to the rush for a week or two and I suspect eventually many will be in the same position.

Things are getting worse...

Just seen this at my local petrol station

What waiting list for NHS services? ,spent most of the day at our nearest main Hospital with OH (bus driver dropped us off near the entrance,to save OH about 50yd walk)  before usual bus stop)

Really thorough examinations and tests,even a CT scan,,several suggestions and theories?even gave us lunch

Nurse in charge said she would make some phone calls

Had a call from local assesment team yesterday evening ,to ask if one of the team could visit today .arrived right on time checked OH again (thats four times in 8days)and third time for house said her walking frame was the wrong size ,went away came back hour ago with two frames one to assist downstairs and the second to save me taking it upstairs, 

Returning on friday to see how she is getting on and a programme to do when away in our tourer

Just before she knocked on the door had a call from contractor for Herts county council asking if he could come Thursday to install galvanised  hand rail from public footpath to near front door ,and  assitant hand grips on front door and in shower cubicle plus a ceiling to floor pole to assist in Bathroom

what a fantanstc service all round

JVB that's great news and service. Do everything you can to ease your load too! Not having to take things up and downstairs etc - it all really helps.

Cornersteady how close to the pumps can he get?

Topped up of car tank, only because we are off to view tomorrow, enough to get there and back but christening following week and THAT CAN'T BE MISSED 😉. So would have cancelled the viewing if I couldn't get any. Now enough for both trips and a bit to sparec🤞. Our Tesco only had super unleaded, well organised, someone telling you as you joined the queue, another directing on tge forecourt. Thanked them both and told them they were doing a great job. About 30 minutes start to finish.

JV, that’s good to hear you are getting some help. It’s surprising the amount of equipment that LA’s will provide free of charge once you are on the system. It all helps with independence.
