    Morning all.

    We didn't have pancakes yesterday as we had pizza and we were too full.

    I went to a Gardeners Club talk in our old village last night, given by a chap who used to work in Bressingham Gardens. It was about making a huge vegetable garden at a Friary in Dorset where he and his wife stayed for 3 years. His wife is a vicar at the church we go to. It was interesting and there were several people I know there.

    Looks damp and gloomy outside.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Forgot I'd already mentioned the garden club talk last night.

    Good morning Busy, Debs and Ruby. Seems we are having similar weather as it is raining here too. I will be nipping across to check on Jack later - his daughter returns from her holiday today and I'm sure he will be looking forward to that.

    Morning all. Yet again a weather change here too from yesterday. White skies prevail again and damp and miserable.
    It seems the medical dramas continue. I accessed my on line repeat prescription account this morning to put in a request only to discover that my normal medication has disappeared😩 I have completed an E consult form and also added an urgent note onto my on line account, so double barrel attack. I hope I hear back today about this, stocks are getting low.😩 This is what happens after a Meds Review? Marvellous….not.
  • Another person with issues on lack of meds. Sorry to hear that @Songbird-2
    A stressful time - waiting! Not knowing whether you will get your meds, but knowing what the consequences will be if you don't get them.
    Ugh!!

    Good morning Hazel. Good grief but things seem to go from bad to worse. I do hope that your problem is sorted out as soon as possible. You can do without the anxiety.

    I do sympathise with everyone struggling to get their medication, we were warned in the pharmacy that this would happen as a result of certain decisions made regarding our membership of the EU. 
    A big issue at the moment is the shortage of medication for ADHD. So many older people are now being diagnosed as “on the spectrum “ that there isn’t enough to go around. This is all complicated by the fact that these are controlled drugs and the rules regarding alternatives are extremely strict. 
    We get shouted at on a daily basis now when drugs are not in stock. I sympathise with the patients but it’s honestly not our fault. It doesn’t help that the new government rules meaning we offer a lot of new services have also come into force recently. If I could retire I would.

    My issue isn’t so much a shortage of medication , it’s the Clinical Pharmacist I spoke  to on Monday at the surgery who has taken my medication off the Repeat Prescription list.! ( we are not allowed to go the surgery anymore so everything has to be done on line). Man made problem where before there was none.🤦‍♀️🙇‍♀️
