I'm NIW this week. The idea was to get down to the allotment and start the work I should have done 3 months ago. But as the last 3 months have been mostly wet when I was available, the work hasn't happened. And as I'm currently knitting baby outfits, it hasn't happened this week either.

I had to go for a blood test thismorning. I had it in my ( Read more... )

 For the second time, I've typed in a longish entry and DW has failed to save it. Which is annoying. Especially when it asks if I want to restore from draft.

 Hormones - they make us who we are. We suddenly start producing loads of them and then we stop. All the while, our moods are at their mercy.

Five years ago when I spoke to one of our practice GPs, the options were HRT or deal with things yourself. That was pretty much the entire conversation. No information on the pros and cons, just pick one and ( Read more... )

 Cineworld are opening again tomorrow. I've just booked my seat for Judas and the Black Messiah tomorrow night. There are a bunch of things I want to see, but Peter Rabbit 2 is going to have to wait a couple of days.

 There's some cracking old British telly on the UKTV channels. I watched Peak Practice a few months ago and in the last couple of weeks, I've been watching Judge John Deed. Although the primary purpose is to gaze at Martin Shaw, the dialogue is actually fairly progressive for the time, especially with 25 years of hindsight.

Today I watched an ( Read more... )

 I'm currently taking a break from social media (obv doesn't include DW). When the football teams decided to boycott it for a long weekend, I joined in and decided not to go back. I'm really not missing the massive time suck and am getting on nicely with the knitting, although I don't seem to be doing much else, mostly due to the weather being ( Read more... )

 I just spent half an hour writing an entry, accidentally hit the back button, and now find it hasn't auto saved anything other than the title. So, short version, I was off last week, my cousin's family is moving to New Zealand, I've sent a load of books to the chafity shop, polling day happened, I got a haircut, and I'm knitting for 3 new babies ( Read more... )

 Back from another election. We didn't have a huge turnout this time around - pretty much a third of our list of voters came along in person and about a sixth applied for postal votes. So up to 50% if everyone sent in their postal vote.

We were electing a whole set of councillors for our new unitaries, the Police, Fire & Crime Commisioner and ( Read more... )

 I went in to the office today. I have 3 audits to complete before DDC ceases to exist on 31 March and it was easier to discuss the Non Domestic Rates system and controls where I could see things. On the way in I tripped over a pothole in the underpass next to the office. Apart from relatively minor grazes and bruises, and a bent lever arch file, ( Read more... )

 My boiler hasn't been in the best of health for some years. When Homeserve messed me about over service dates, then doubled the cost of my annual plan, I told them where to go and the boiler hadn't been serviced for nearly 2 years. In mid December it started misbehaving and some days I had to reset it to get it to fire. I rang a local company that ( Read more... )
