A courier dropped a parcel off and it smells like nans. I put the package in my car, fully intending to take it into work this morning. Only I forgot to pick it up and take it out of the car because I started chatting. The package was left in my car all day and now my car smells like nan.

^^ I misread that as "smells like naans". That would be a good thing to smell of. I like naan bread.

I couldn't agree more with this. I'm currently trying to get a letter off them to help me with my disability support application for university.

^ My surgery used to have a great appointments system, and you could book the last appointment if the day online which was perfect for me. But during the pandemic they switched to a phone triage system, and I understand why I could just do with a slightly easier option!

My doctor's surgery has now said every initial triage appointment has to be over the phone and then the doctor will determine whether they'll see you in person.

Therefore, I decided to send an e-mail to my doctors' surgery to ask for evidence because I do not need an appointment with the doctor as I'm not in immediate need of treatment.

Leaving me a voicemail message is the modern day equivalent of an ancient Greek guy carving 'please cure my withered leg, Goddess Hygieia' onto a clay tablet and tossing it into a random river.

Hah, please do. It can go in my car instead, and remind me of good times playing scrabble with grandad.

Looking back at the threads I use to create years ago and there's a nice variety

One on gay marriage, one on Iain Duncan Smith another on the Scottish Referendum.

Also discovered the other day that My A-Z of Movies game is still going after nearly 10 years.

I have an ulcer on my tongue that's so big it's basically now my conjoined twin. It got the looks.

I've barely moaned about it at all though, which reflects fantastically on me. Even if the reason is that it hurts to speak.

Thinking about late night telly from the 90s when you'd have random numbers yelled at you and you wouldn't quite understand what they were trying to communicate.

As a kid, I think I assumed you called the number and there'd be a bunch of people all chatting over each other on the same line. I didn't get it, but thought it was just a grown up thing, not for me to understand.

I wonder how many germs King Charles has come into contact with during his recent handshaking sessions.

I've just popped over to the shop - haven't been out all day, and it is properly 'cold'. In comparison to what it has been, it's a bit of a shock.

"Sunning my cheeks"!

Yes, it's cold. Unusually so.. ? Slightly. It reckons it'll pick up again after the weekends past. I'm not ready for this neither. Hopefully it holds off til November. Do me an extra balaclava just in case.
