    I think the NHS must know something that I don't.
     
    Today, I received their 3rd invitation to book my booster, which I actually had about eight weeks ago! 

    On the first two occasions, I phoned them to bring them up to date; but, a few weeks later, I received another invitation and today the 3rd. 

    For some reason, they ignore OH, obviously believing him not to be deserving of such special... attention; so, feeling... envious, no doubt, he tells me that he got the real stuff but I was, obviously, given a shot of ...normal saline!

    If they send me yet another invitation, I shall start thinking he might be right!

    The hands of the Tory poster boy.  How lucky are we all?

    Interesting that Cressida Dick had her contract renewed.....

    Today, I've been running around like a horse fly since about 8am.  Lots to do before bojo tells us we must all stay in again; only he and his gang can do as they please.

    About 40 minutes ago, I came home absolutely exhausted.  On the doormat, I found the usual post- bills!- and one from the NHS: a reminder to get my booster booked...

    The letter consists of 3 sheets with the request written not only in English but in Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Chinese, Turkish, Punjabi, Yiddish, etc., etc.  First class service for those who need it but why can't they listen to those of us who no longer do?

    Feeling this is too silly for words, I phoned them, AGAIN!

    This time I spoke to a person who "explained" that it's not their fault but the fault of my GP surgery for failing to "tick the list".  Only they could stop this nonsense.

    I phoned the surgery.  I was assured everything was done correctly by the surgery; "it's THEIR fault...."

    I much fear that the emails, texts and letters (costing a bit of a fortune) will never stop. 

    Depressing! 


  • Rather depressed with the current reality, OH booked us a Treehouse W/E break.

    A wonderful change.  More words would be superfluous.

    A mid-winter break, how marvellous!
