#100DaysToOffload – Day 9 (and a half)
Oops! Not quite sure how it happened but I forgot to post yesterday. It wasn't I didn't have anything to say or it felt hard work, I just forgot. This brings me round to a Mastodon exchange I had with Basil: what percentage of posts early on in a blog are meta posts talking about the blog itself or posting on the blog? Got to be quite high! And now I've joined that percentage myself.
So how did I miss posting? Did work though not much was happening I was present and online most of the day ready for it. Usually my prescriptions are taken care of through an online pharmacy service that requests the repeat prescription from the Dr's surgery electronically and posts me the medication. Every now and then the Dr's want to check if I still need it and this was one of those times. So how is a Dr's consultation done during lockdown? I called to book an appointment and was told I'd get a call back. Which I did half an hour later. Had a brief chat with the Dr and was told the repeat prescription was fine. But the Dr was worried if it went to the online service I wouldn't get it until middle of next week as it is a bank holiday today so instead sent it electronically to my nearest pharmacy (which they even identified from my postcode). After waiting a couple of hours I stroll along in the sun to collect it and on the way bump into a neighbour so stop and have a 10 minute chat. The pharmacy is only a 5 minute walk away but round the corner there is an acquaintance I know from football (they are a fellow BHAFC season ticket holder) so I end up having a 10 minute chat about the Premier League plans to resume the season (never going to happen!). Finally get to my destination to find it shut for lunch 5 minutes earlier!
