The more obstacles that are being mailed to me about the trip to see Diversity on Sunday the more anxious I have been getting. First of all we had to transfer the ticket to my Ticketmaster account, the details came in an email, so far so good, then reading on it said that you had to have the app and your phone is your ticket, it will not be emailed or printable. Immediate panic as I really don’t use apps on the phone unless I really have to! Tina helped me get it on but then she couldn’t get it to open! I have opened it once since so fingers crossed I can get to the ticket at the venue. Then I got another email yesterday evening saying I had to do a lateral flow test on the day and have proof, on the phone again! Tina has done many test but has never actually logged them. We started a dummy run last night and it didn’t fill me with confidence! I didn’t have a great night, dreams of Holby and lateral flow tests among others…. Did a test this morning and was filling in the form on the phone then it wanted my National Health number, not my National Insurance number which I put in! I had no idea what my NH number is and didn’t think I had anything with it on. Tried the patient access site to no avail then, luckily I had kept one of the letters from the hospital after the last surgery. So form completed and I did get text and email confirmation so hopefully that will be okay on Sunday.This morning I had a package to send off so went to the post office. It was bitterly cold, wished I had worn hat and gloves. I did go up to the sea and had a hot chocolate inside Lily’s cafe today!
Taking those sea photos the bitterly cold wind was strong enough to almost unbalance me! Nice blossom tree in the memorial garden on the way home.
The rest of the day has been pretty much kitchen based. I don’t like to waste the vegetables from my box so today I cut up leeks, onions, carrots and celery plus a couple of potatoes and made soup. It turned out pretty well, Tina and I both had some at lunch time.
Then this afternoon I made a large cottage pie for Darren and Tina and there are now a couple of portions in the freezer as well. Also made a crumble and nipped to the shop for more cream!
We had some sleet this afternoon and it really is very cold.
Oh my what a palaver! They want you to jump through hoops these days before you can do anything. I’m sure it’ll be a good show and I know you’ll enjoy it, but I feel for you regarding all the messing with apps etc. I’d be exactly the same as I don’t like stressful things like that myself. I’d have probably given up by now, but I know you’re the sort that doesn’t give in easily. You’ll laugh about it another day……maybe 😂
ReplyDeleteIt has been a horrid day today. Very wet and wintery here too. After all that nice weather we had, now this. Suppose we’ll all have pneumonia soon!
Your soup sounded really nice. I do like homemade soup with leftover veg. The potatoes make it nice a thick and creamy too. Could eat it now…………..beside a bit of cottage pie, followed by crumble and cream! You do spoil them 😊
Stressed, cold and cooking, quite a strange day!
ReplyDeleteHave been a bit heady but it seems to have settled now.
It certainly is a pretty drastic change weather wise. Don’t think the forecast is much better for tomorrow. Don’t think I will be doing a lot of cooking though!
