Morning Jules, fellow ORCs. Wednesday is laundry day and food deliveries, and today I’m boiling up a chicken carcass for stock. A domestic day as the weather threatens to be wet. Had a lovely walk yesterday in the gloom, still lots of autumn colours on the trees to be enjoyed.

I’m not sure I know the answer to any of the above but wanted to let you know that I’d read it all (and the email you sent me, thank you).
I think technology has in many ways improved our lives but also it’s made customer service (what that?!!) so much worse as everything is hidden away…/2

Morning CiF and ORCs. Our village also has a war memorial service at 11. When I was growing up in the 50s, the whole country seemed to come to a halt, but that hasn’t happened for a long time.

What have they said about your eyes? Round here the waiting list for cataracts isn’t all that long but I’m sure it’s different in different parts of the country. Hopefully won’t be too long for you. 🤞

Certainly the private jab is the most up-to-date there is; I don’t know what the NHS one is. Interesting about the doctors!

I’m furious about it, as many who’d be considered vulnerable, as well as those between 65-75, and medical and care staff have all been denied the NHS Covid jab this year.
