In cafe 🍵 in Stornoway & couple next to us asked if I was called ‘Barbara’ said I was, said she’d gone to Dentist last week & he’d told her another of his patients was going to Stornoway following week. Got talking & we knew so many people, she lives a mile from me 🤷♀️ Crazy 🤪

Just been to a meeting, talking to a woman whose son is MD of a very upmarket restaurant/hotel in the Ribble Valley. She told that the owners have bought a large empty shop in Whalley & are converting to a Bakery. The villagers have wanted one for ages ✅

Drs y/day more blood tests, Nurse said ‘here again’ said feel like Tony Hancock in the sketch of the ‘Blood Donor’ she’d never heard of it, brought up on her screen, we laughed for 5 mins, says she might show it to some of her worried patients to calm them. Perfect surgery

Husband received letter saying hospital appt. cancelled on 10/9, worrying as no appt on that day, rang to clarify, answer was ‘we booked him an appt on our system for that day & then cancelled it so wrote to tell him’ wonder how much that cost & nobody cares #confused 🤷♀️

Excellent show. Roxy was played by somebody from ‘Strictly ‘ I’ve never watched the TV programme but she was amazing, the energy. Supper on way back , home now & shattered . Anybody who travels on those motorways out of Manchester on daily basis deserves a medal, heaving
