Not the best of days today, but will start with a smile and a picture of my favourite piece of work from the studio.
Could have done with a bit more brain power a couple of times today, but will start with pictures of a very muted sky last night after looking like there wouldn't be any sunset at all.
This morning I caught the bus to town in time to catch another to the hospital. I was at physio early and was seen almost immediately. Had a chat with the physio and as the exercises he had given me make the knee ache more, he said there was not a lot of point giving me harder ones! He has left the case open though as 'appointment pending' so that should I suddenly improve I can phone rather that have to go through the doctor again. When I got back to town I was really struggling and really didn't feel too well at all, but made my way to the library to see if I could get a new buss pass. I was waiting to talk to somebody when I saw this sign.
So made my way home to see if I could sort it out on line. I got onto the website and soon found it wasn't going well, I realised that I had my pass had stopped because the new pass had been issued, the problem with that was that it would have been issued in Peterborough! As the options were apply for your first bus pass, or renew, and when I tried to renew Yorkshire had no record, so it was a phone call next. The man was quite helpful but said I would have to apply on line for my first bus pass as it would be my first one up here! So...... back on line with driving licence and photo to hand. Filled in the form until it got to attaching the driving licence and photo. It said you could use a camera, so took photos and tried the driving licence first. Got the message that the image was too big, so send one with the correct size. Lost it at this point, ended up in tears and turned the computer off! When I had calmed down I knew that I could save a reduced size image and went back on and finished the application, which has been accepted. See what I mean about being helpful to have a brain.? I also bought a puzzle book today and cannot do the crosswords, I will check the answers on the first couple and see if I can do better!!
On a brighter note I had sent for some collapsible storage boxes and I am very pleased with them.
I will finish this post on a sad note, we have said goodbye to Colonel this evening, the house won't seem the same without him.
Oh dear, not the best of days at all! At least you can go back to the physio without the hassle of going through the doctor and waiting an eternity. There had to be one bright outcome to the day, and that and the lovely storage boxes seem to be the best I gets. The bus pass debacle is ridiculous. Why does everything now have to be done online? At least you do manage to master the technology and don't give up on it like a lot would. I can imagine how you felt and totally understand the tears, at which point a lot of people would have given up. But as I know well you don't like to be beaten. Now all you need to do is master the cryptic crosswords :-)
ReplyDeleteVery sad news about Colonel, as you say it won't seem the same without him around :-(
On the bright side, tomorrow has to be a better day!
ReplyDeleteThe storage boxes are really good and a nice size too. Might see if I can work out a clue or two in the crosswords when I go to bed!!
