Got a phone call from a GP, exactly a week after I was expecting it. I could sense the stress. He was talking at 90mph. But it was clear that he cared. Fortunately, I knew what was needed as I had received a copy of the letter from the consultant. A short phone call and he would contract pharmacy to sort prescription. I was dubious but lo and behold the prescribed medicine awaited me.. I can't stop thinking about the poor man who phoned me. It's just not right. How long can you deal with making life and death decisions on the phone ?
We went to our local pub late this afternoon for a meal. Walked in and the place was like a creche! Buggies blocking most of the walkway, small kids climbing on chairs and tables, mothers totally ignoring the little darlings. Thankfully they did leave after about half an hour but not before I had to twice ask them to move the buggies so I could get past. Buggies moved with bad grace and filthy looks. When we left staff had pushed the tables together and the chairs were leaning on the tables. The floor was covered with dropped food and soft drink bottles, and the tables were nearly as bad. Do these people allow their kids to behave like that at home?
Yes @KT53. They do. my daughter gets new intake of children and mother will say âHeâs a grazerâ,  that means it doesnât sit down for a meal, just walks around eating what it wants, when it wants. Needless  to say,  my daughter doesnât allow grazing in her house,  itâs up to the table with the correct utensils,  which a lot of them havenât a clue how to hold.Â

We keep old electric toothbrush heads for cleaning the dogs' teeth. They have their own electric toothbrush, obvs.
