I was due to visit the GP yesterday to have blood taken for tests. Appointment was at 9:40 so rolled in at 9:30 to make sure I was there on time. Nobody else there… great. Sat and waited. The doctor arrived 30 minutes later… by which time the surgery had filled up a little as … More GP's live in a different world

Well I seem to be here right now anyway despite not having a constantly accessible machine to work on right now. Clearly the browser on the PDA works so there should be nothing stopping me using it when I’m home… and especially when I’m out… from posting stuff (except maybe the tedious text input and … More So… back?

So… here I am… sitting in bed… in the sleep clinic… wired up and waiting to sleep. Will the browser be able to post? We’ll soon see 🙂

Thanks to kyte I now have an operational browser on the PDA. Until now I’ve been trying to use “IE Mobile’ which is a piece of crap. The opera offering is so far ahead as to be a different class entirely. The browser window even on a PDA is virtually identical to the ‘standard’ browser, … More Opera PDA Browser

This time the computer handling the RAS’s ticketing threw a wobbly and our tickets didn’t get sent out. However it appears they *are* at … More The Dog's Jinx I

We ordered tickets for the Easter Show back on 7th April and they’ve not arrived. Called today to make enquiries… went into someones voicemail. The Show opens tomorrow so it’s cutting a bit fine if they arrive today eh?? I checked all the details on the receipt and the address and other contact details are … More Easter Show on – but where're our tickets?

Slowly getting better. I went out to the Guides AGM yesterday and as ‘President’ of the support group I was supposed to make a short speech covering the years doings… but all I could manage was to sit there and do nothing. Still… at least I went… and of course it makes a change for … More Getting back slowly
