When I had a look at the last post, before going to bed, I realised it wasn’t there. I vaguely remembered that it had flashed up on the screen while I was doing something else and I think I probably deleted it at that point. I’m sure there should be a single button to restore it, but I couldn’t find it and had to reload it bit by bit. This is annoying.
It’s annoying because I had another senior moment, it’s annoying because I had better things to do with my time and it’s annoying because out there on WP there are probably people thinking “Does that idiot really think a picture of banknotes is a proper post?”
No. I don’t. And the worst bit of it is that the best I could do was American money. I live in a country where you can’t even get a decent banknote picture of my own currency. I do have a few somewhere, but there’s not enough money to be a suitable picture for an article about being Β a millionaire. Or, in my case, not being a millionaire. Again.
The electronic prescription service, which I distrust, has failed me and I have had no text to tell me I have pills to pick up. It already takes two days longer than doing it manually, and now the system is even more delayed because it seems to have crashed. I will say no more, but I am very disappointed.
The pharmacy has a score of 2.7 out of 5 on Google, despite a few people giving it five with no further comment – looks like staff trying to boost the rating.One reviewer actually said he would have given it 0 out of 5 if he could have done. Thinking of it, that means it would score 1 out of 5 even if it was the worst place in the world.
If they think you order the pills too far in advance they won’t let you have them. If you order them just in time, the system breaks.
Of course, if they lose your paper prescription, as they did a few months ago, they ask if your memory is up to scratch. That’s why I’ve started keeping notes.
At this rate it looks like I might have to try keeping notes about how to work WordPress too.
Just two library shots for this one – a man writing and time passing. What sort of blogger can’t even be bothered to take his own photos?

Oh dear, actually I thought your earlier post was referring to an ABBA song, which I quite like. I wonder if this is the same prescription service on the telly? They say they are very good π
It’s one of the things I’m going to look into. I had both songs rattling round in my head, plus the one from Cabaret. There is a lot of unused space in there.
I read in an article that starvation was a common by product of Covid 19 so at least you are trendy.
I promise you, that starvation and I do not generally appear in the same sentence.
From what I have experienced here, the pharmacy system here breaks due to insurance stipulations. Some pharmacies also have trouble keeping certain meds on hand as they are not profitable.
I expect they all have their problems – ours is that we have too many people using it. π
Seriously – deleting by mistake is a bummer.
Compared to the earlier incident that I didn’t write about, this was simple. I forgot to conform the TESCO order so we had no groceries this week. π
Ah
π
A lazy one?
Yes, it must have looked like that.:-)

Quarantine brain fog…thatβs the official term now…
Old age is another term for it.

Hope things work out better tomorrow.
It would be nice to think so. π
