Peggy's Mundane Thread

Late night, waiting to go and pick up youngest son and wife from the vue cinema

Just back from a walk to Sainsbury's (Marsh Mills). Pinch a chew bar from the grand-children last night and lost two fillings

Domino's pizza ordered, Beer stock replenished, Feet up, about to watch 'Terminator Genisys'.

Gotta love Sunday nights snugged up on the sofa with wifey.

Spent a few hours dying.

not all sanding discs are Velcro backed FFS!

Today consist of receiving two doctor phone calls and to make an emergency dental appointment. Hope to get to the gym as well

No wonder the NHS is boracic.

Butterflies. Saw three of them when walking the dog this morning. Most unusual for November. Or is it?

Oxford Street Christmas lights turned on....plus butterflies....plus spiders webs with thick dew on....plus a thick mist/fog.....and all at 70f temperature......I blame the EU....why not ?.

This afternoon, I picked up my guitar, tuned it and had a twang for the first time in about 12 months.

Sore fingers now!

Been turned down for a operation because I do not fit the criteria ( They will not pay for a correction after a operation ) My doctor did not put down the right criteria.

Dental, the filling has falling out four times over 9 months, have to wait untill thursday to see the dentish

Still waiting on the last phone call, paid £250 to have a scan in Bournemouth to show what was wrong, NHS a joke

Got my Santa suit out - ready for the various villages I appear at when lights go on. Its red.

My wonderful wife works for the NHS. She and her team work damn hard for their wage. What her team have to put up with due to mismanagement, underfunding, lack of staff, lack of equipment and permanently being piss-balled about by the dozens of middle management who, for the life of her, hasn't a fooking clue what they actually do, is sadly a daily grind - to which she is nearly at the end of tether and seriously thinking about leaving the NHS to take up something less stressful, i.e bomb disposal or something.

The other things she tells me that go on, I wouldn't dare discuss openly for fear of legal recriminations. All very sad compared to it's glory days.

Anyway, I digress.

POI, certainly not mundane, I've got nothing but admiration fo the frontline staff, it's the beaurocrats and politicians who wanted shafting

The red tape and bureaucracy is a massive part of the problem. But, as you say, the front-line staff work nothing short of miracles just to get through the day.

I've just found out (for god's sake don't ask me why or how I know ) that the annual Xmas Coca Cola truck tour of the Uk's nearest place to Muff this year is...........

Tavistock
Time:12:00 - 20:00

Date:25 Nov 2015

Bedford Square, Tavistock

Devon

PL19 0AE

What does this truck do ?
Does it drive around a lot, dropping off supplies of inca, mecca cola for the bereft children ? Is it Winter charidee or hearts and minds ?

There's a great sourdough bread maker that inhabits the Tavistock market. He's from the Teign Valley and makes exceedingly good bread. A bit expensive, but not half as dear as a pastie at Home Park. Check him out. If you don't do Tavi, you'll have to risk Hatherleigh  
Ordinary Chaps recommend him.

My wife worked for the Nhs for years untill she retired 6 year ago, she was offer any hours she like to stay but she had enough and said no. so you cannot tell me how the staff work so dam hard, and the fu*k up and waste of money of management. amen

Cleaned my shoes with polish. I'm ready for the annual free PU that Sir John puts on for the peasants.

Filled up petrol £103 at morrison, picked up paper and now a cup of tea back to bed with cricket on radio wicket just gone done.

Put some big stones around my Mums fence to stop the dog disappearing through the gaps
