Thank you for all the comments on my last post. I must confess that I just haven't had time to reply to any of them, although I have read and appreciate every single one of them.
Update: No.... I didn't get my flu jab yet. There was a big queue in the little pharmacy and I didn't have time to wait. I'll try again another day.
No....I didn't get my bus pass renewed either...Gray mentioned that his pass didn't expire until 2026 so I checked mine again. Uh oh...mine expires on November 1st 2026 !!
What a numpty I am 😖At least I didn't embarrass myself at the library!
Gray did need to renew his driving licence though. I had done mine about a month ago quite easily online so he decided to try it. Oh my gosh, what a nightmare! They have changed the whole process and it took AN HOUR to jump through all the hoops, even to setting up facial recognition by scanning a QR code, downloading an App etc We were really uncomfortable doing this. We checked for https and the little padlocks to check it was secure at every stage but I feel really uncomfortable about all this. We now have to await the arrival (or not!) of his new licence.
Has anyone else had experience of this new system? Is this the way we are heading for anything official?

On a lighter note, I took another batch of cards to the Hospice shop yesterday, making a total of 350 including 30 Christmas cards to see how they sell. The shop manager is planning to display them next month in their new Christmas setting....
A sample below:
These 'knitting' cards sell well so I keep adding a few to each batch....
These cards for men were made using the Hunkydory club gift but I always add extra little touches to make them more appealing...

On top of everything else, my back has been decidedly dodgy over the last few days. I've had the all-too-familiar 'electric shock' feeling when bending down to pick something up or when leaning over to brush my teeth. Painkillers have helped to take the edge off the ache and I'm hoping it will all subside once again over the next few days 🤞

Thanks for popping in. Do stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

You have to download Apps and do the whole facial recognition thing for a lot of legal things now. We had to do it when we bought our local rental property, and then again when we were closing our company down. I agree it does feel very 'dodgy' doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteOnce again your selection of cards for the hospice shop looks lovely. The Christmas display is going to sell out very quickly. Look after your back, those initial twinges are a real warning to take things easy.
I renewed my driving licence as soon as I could to ovoid the new set up, I'm pleased not to sort through the new system. Watch your back anything silly could set it going, rest when you can.
