Week 276 – June 20th – Halifax
Earlier in the week, I had received a letter from the Halifax building society, that If I didn’t visit a branch before September, the account would be closed.
So, I went to a branch in Eltham and when I got to a cashier, I was pleasantly surprised that the account had £950 in.
I had the account closed and money transferred.
So always make sure you read your post, that’s when you get some delivered.
I then did something for the 1st time in my life and went into a bookie and placed two bets.
Watch this space.

Whilst all the issues with my throat and ears were going on, we had our roof cleaned.

After pictures. You can see a change, but will notice more after we have some rain, which could be awhile as we are in dry sunny spell.

Week 276 – June 17th – You can only have one issue
This morning, I was awake in the early hours as my throat was burning and when I swallowed made my earache even more painful.
I don’t usually like having to call the medical world, but this was hurting me too much, so I rang 111 and this is when it became a farce, they can only deal with one symptom, even though the pain was the same, I even went to a supervisor and I felt this was a farce, but got the same answer.
In the end I gave in, and they put through my case. I had a doctor call me at 4am and said it sounds like I have a throat infection and that I could have a 9am appointment with my surgery this morning.
09:30am came and still no call, so I rang the surgery, and once I got through, was told that there is no 9am call, but that I was on a list for a call from a doctor.
After the farce with 111, I had posted a post on the Nextdoor website, most responses were saying to go to the pharmacy.
It got to 11am and I hardly had any voice left, so call the surgery again, I couldn’t believe it when I was told the doctor doing the list had been called out on a emergency home visit.
I then decided to go to the pharmacy and saw the pharmacist who was brilliant and within less than five minutes, she said I had a throat infection and likely chest infection, so prescribed me antibiotics.
I wished I had gone there first thing this morning.
So wished i had gone to the pharmacy earlier. Medicine I was put on. -

Week 275 – June 15th – The Salt Path
Earlier in the day, we visited my dad’s grave as it was Father’s Day, first one since he sadly passed away this year. It was a lovely sunny day and met my mum and sisters, plus Ziya too.
Late afternoon, we went and saw the film “The Salt Path”, this is based on a true story, about a couple, who husband had some illness and decided to sell up and walk around the west coast.
Very enjoyable film.
