Good morning Jeff, good morning Bob, good morning all

On Wednesday, the plumber came and he had to change the taps as the old ones were clogged up with lime scale, but he had to go out to Screw Fix to get new taps and flex pipes. When he rang up his office to get authorisation, I heard his office say “don’t forget to add on extra for the parts, add on a couple of quid for each”. What is wrong with the country?

Today, the washing machine is to checked for leakage/repairs by a white goods appliance engineer. I wonder if he is going to try and rip me off

But good news. For the past 2 nights I have not had need to take any strong painkillers for the Shingles. The pain is there this morning, but it is little A vaccination for Shingles is available on the NHS and I urge folks to get it done, particularly the age group 70+

Shingles in the eye is a nasty virus, it can lead to permanent blindness and if it gets in the brain, the effects can be devastating or even fatal.

Have a great day, positive thoughts.
