davecttr Posted September 9, 2022 #38001 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Sorted the repeat prescription problem this morning. Arrived at Boots Hempstead Valley at 8.45 and queued for 30 mins, finding out that they had received my script on the 1st Sept but had not made it up, could i return in an hour, yes, so a long coffee and some shopping. Back in the shop another 20 mins wait and I am good to go cruising next week. Phew, I only had 3 staying alive pills left. Ordering my repeats very early in the future.

I have always felt he was aloof and standoffish, but tonight he was very different. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think he will be ok. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted September 10, 2022 #38006 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It definitely feels strange for some reason this morning. I am watching the news where they are explaining what will happen today with Charles being proclaimed king today. It must be hard for him and the rest of the Royal Family to have to go through all of this whilst mourning the loss of the Queen. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted September 10, 2022 #38007 Share Posted September 10, 2022 This whole week has jarred Started with the weather changing, after what feels like 6 months of summer, then the children went back to school, then there was politics (gloss over quickly), then the Queen’s passing This Saturday feels very different to last. I’m glad the rain has stopped - though we need lots more. It would be good if it could come 1am to 5am. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine starting a new job at nearly 74 The retirement that goes with it isn't very good either as we have just seen . Now begins the changes, stamps coins ,post boxes and things like police helmets will move from ER to CR. Then there is the royal musical chairs as they move up a rank so to speak .Kate now becomes Princess of wales, who we all think of as Diana but really was Camilla who never took the title out of respect for Diana . The only thing I can think of that will not have to change is the prison service HMP. We are all going through some changes really . 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have a few post boxes here with Edward 7th on them so must have been put up between 1901 and 1910 and plenty with George 5th (1910 to 1936) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caullkhead Posted September 10, 2022 #38011 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It’s definitely been a weird week, the death of The Queen, new King ( his speech was very moving) and today my friend texted me to say she’s in hospital waiting for a biopsy as they found a limphomia on her lung (never smoked!) she was feeling rough with backache before her cruise had a major urine infection that needed infusion of antibiotics on board & she came back with you know what! Had to wait till she was negative & went to the drs yesterday as so bad, they must have sent her up for an emergency scan. Just can’t take it all in. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a secret “ knitter” around here with postboxes wearing different toppings. The postbox by the vets has a selection of animals on the top of it. They make everyone smile Michelle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the anniversary of my father's death on Monday and Mum was feeling very low when I called in to see her. Sorry to hear about your friend, hope gets the treatment she needs to recover. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted September 10, 2022 #38021 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Tonight if your lucky enough to have a cloud free sky ,you may see the harvest moon . Anyone else like the song Harvest Moon ? I think it's a pretty good one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted September 10, 2022 #38022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 My baby sister (only 57) just rang me with a brilliant idea. She said that after our cousin's funeral she realised that we rarely get together just to chat so she thinks that it would be a good idea if we got together for lunch or afternoon tea once a month. She pointed out that she is the only worker now but has asked to reduce her hours in November. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else like the song Harvest Moon ? I think it's a pretty good one Sadly I doubt that I will see it unless the clouds that we currently decide to disappear. That clip reminds me of a bar that we used to frequent when I worked in South Carolina, there was always a country sing on and always lots of people dancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
