I just showed it to my husband who immediately thought that it’s an internal error and you’re seeing the screen or part of the screen that the staff would see.
It still needs feeding back to the surgery.
Will you give the surgery feedback on this incomprehensible list of options?
If someone who did what you did in your professional life and who is computer literate can't work out how to use it to make a simple appointment, there is something seriously wrong with the form.
Neither do I. This sort of thing is so excluding. I often wonder how far designers give any thought whatsoever to how people like my mum (registered blind) will manage. Several times I've seen older people in the pharmacy practically in tears because they have needs & can't make the system work.
Oh no! How did that happen?
Thank you.
It does. When they keep on thriving despite illness, and their blips can be readily treated, you tend to think it's all gone away, so it's hard to believe that this really is the end. They have a lovely vet who took time to explain the diagnostic tests and that helped.
Thank you! She is eating very well (no-one is trying to psych her off her food now) and she is a bit more clingy, but I'm sure that will pass. She seemed to know he was getting more poorly.
You both have gorgeous cats! ❤️
One of our two rehomed cats had to be euthanised a few days ago, aged 16¼ yrs, & his twin sister has decided we're honorary cats. We can't go anywhere! (We are devastated, but two years ago we were told six months, so every month has been a lovely & happy delight.)
Super photo, Paul. I like the shafts of sun catching the last bronze remnants of autumn, a defiant light soon to be extinguished.
I had fun producing that in a former life! We also did My Fair Lady, in which I feel the personal journeys are better handled. The ending of Pygmalion is too frustrating.
BTW I ordered the Mahler book which you recommended and it arrived yesterday. Spouse had to force himself to put it down.
And almost to the day on which Edward IV had his brother George drowned in a butt of Malmsey.
Eventually, overwrought and stressed, often crying, without a mum of her own, she gave in and she and new baby went to stay on her sister's farm for two weeks. I thought it was great! I was left in my dad's gentle but inexperienced hands, so he took me on holiday to north Wales with his parents.
Then, because I'm female and women don't know about these things, he told me he had a full sized Liberator out at the back in his garage.
On Brexit Day 2020 we had coffee in a café which was bedecked with Union flags, pictures of Spitfires, Churchill, etc, with Vera Lynn in the background. It was cash only. The owner, youngish but dressed like a 1940s knitting pattern, charged us & counted out our change in shillings and pennies.
I don’t have personal experience except as the child of a mum who found this after baby #2 despite having helped with all her sisters’ babies & then having me. Even at 2 I felt relieved when she stopped trying to live by what other people thought. Being a carer means caring for yourself too.
That is a wonderful little description of your grandmother.
Where is Gordon buried?
Your poor grandmother. How old was your parent when Gordon died?
Your daughter has read it. You trust her judgment. I would listen to her.
And would it be really terrible of you to join him? 😴 😀
Oh, goodness, Chris. I'm so glad you both had excellent support when you needed it. Best wishes to you, your wife and your family.
Well, how handsome he is. What are your plans for him? Will you ride him? (I don't know anything about horses. :) )
I nearly, nearly had a job introducing English Language A level at a very good school, until the final question of the interview was which extra curricular sports could I offer. I hate sport (I swim, but that's not a team sport) & I was honest. They implored me: could I not think of one? Sadly, no.
So, you recommend it? My spouse is a Mahler enthusiast, I am less so. I'll add it to my wishlist for a future purchase.
The concept of a book from Oxfam for everyone is wonderful.
Completely agree. It’s ghastly. It was far easier to take in information in the former app and furthermore it was much easier to see. This is too big, too cluttered and with too many unnecessary distractions. I live in the UK: I don’t need a background image of what rain looks like.
Ah, I haven't been there. I agree with you about its haunting nature.
I am also particularly moved when I listen to the Vaughan Williams pieces which draw on those dance melodies and other folk songs and I think of those to whom they would have been familiar (including my own ancestors).
Have you seen the films of Butterworth dancing morris? It's one minute into this, then 3.24 with Cecil Sharp, then 4.32 (but the rest of the film is delightful and happy too). The music has been retrospectively added.

Yes, I wondered so. But the majority of the new followers have nothing in common with me or my interests. Simply quote posting doesn’t count as a meaningful exchange in my eyes.
Sorry - posted twice because it said my internet connection wasn’t working. (It was.) I’ve deleted the duplicate.
Does that explain why I am being inundated with new followers? Checking and blocking is getting tiresome.
