I cooked a kilo of shin of beef a couple of weeks ago to make individual steak pies but had to freeze it because a friend has spent a couple of weeks in hospital so visiting wasn't conducive to baking. Any road up, I've actually got round to making them this morning so just got an apple and a pear tree to plant that I bought cheaply from B&M and that's me caught up with jobs.
I'm more than willing to slag off my GP surgery when it deserves it, and that is sadly all too often, but I had a very different experience today. A repeat prescription I had requested over a week ago still hadn't arrived at the pharmacist, so I called the surgery fully expecting to be fobbed off. I spoke to a very nice lady who explained that 5 working days is actually 6 working days. Even if the request is made over the weekend they don't class the day they 'open' the request as Day 1. Nonetheless, she tried to check but couldn't get into the system, and said she would contact me if the request hadn't been actioned. I got a text about an hour later to say that it wasn't even showing on the system - this was requested via the NHS app. She had raised the repeat request herself, although they apparently aren't supposed to, and it was just waiting for the GP to sign it off. I checked and it has been done so should be available tomorrow.
GP staff are often on the receiving end of patient frustration, but from my experience when actually managing to speak to them, they are just as frustrated as the patients.
HMRC should look into the whole rotten lot of them Football, the beautiful game? more lile a bunch of tax dodgers
FA, Premier League, UEFA, FIFA, whatever level you look at those at the top are only interested in making more and more money. They have no interest in the game itself.
Nice @JennyJ - mine are later types, but I passed a house a couple of days ago and there was a tiny bunch of daffs flowering. No idea which variety but it's very early for any of them round here. My alpina C. Constance has got buds breaking which is very early. It flowers in late March, so I'd normally just see those buds forming around now. Fingers crossed they don't get damaged, but there's 'thoosands' of them, and it's tucked in a corner, so should be ok. We often get bad weather after it starts flowering anyway.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
