What have you been doing today?

Been on the phone complaining to an ISA provider that fecked up with my isa transfer. Basically filled in a transfer form with the new provider to go through on maturity, old provider moved it into an instant access account on the day of maturity, new provider asked for the money from the old account but of course, there was nothing in the account as they’d moved it! Offered me an apology and £25 compo and I told them where to put it. Made a formal complaint so now I have to go through the whole transfer process again. Have a suspicion the new provider is going to feck up too. Told me to print out and send in ISA form but gave old isa details in the application and email confirmation said to do nothing and they will arrange transfer online. Phoned up for confirmation and they said no need to fill in form. I just know it’s going to go wrong…. :evil:
 
We've been in the garden, all morning, painting, drilling, modifying the lounger thingummy, to make it higher, until it got too hot out there. Came in and I'd missed a call from hospital, three hour before. I was just about to attempt to ring them back, when they rang me...

They were making the final arrangements for the catheter install op, on the 8th May, what meds to adjust before the op, etc... I asked if they had been made aware of these 'episodes' I suffer, and they were not. So then I had to try to explain the 'episodes', and their weird effects upon me. She noted my explanation down, and is passing it to the anaesthetist - it might put the op on hold. The kidney department, think the cause of the episodes might be due to my failing kidneys, so they want me to have the op ASAP, but other doctors are simply puzzled by the cause. Heart specialist, have not so far been able to spot anything at all, but they continue to investigate. Yep, the weird episodes are back!

The one good thing I learned, was that they would be doing the op, under a general anaesthetic. They put me a kidney stent in, inserted via my groin a few years go, under a local, the weirdest sensation ever, as the probe passed up my body. Then in the midst, of the OP, I suffered something odd, where they had to pause the op, whilst I recovered.
 
Playing golf this morning, and came across a couple of unusable obstacles on the 6th green

That's what I used to do! I do miss the exhilarating rides on the bike, I'm just too old and creaky to handle one now.
Your never too old for biking Harry, a lot who ride bikes are into their 70s and beyond, for those who get injured or literally struggle with a bike get trikes.
 
I’ve always had the flip front helmets and flipped them up at slow speeds. Although I am now bikeless, I still have a helmet that I paid over £500 for with a Bluetooth headset fitted. A Schuberth C4 Pro. Up to 4 of us could chat at up to half a mile away or more. I never used that on my daily rides, it was just used for my yearly continental bike trip with mates so only had a total of about 6 weeks use in the last 8 years. Practically mint condition still.
bloody good helmets the C4, all day comfort.

I did think about it, when I sold the Viffer, but its storage space is now occupied by my mobility scooter. Besides, it occupies me enough already, looking after the house, car, caravan, scooter, and tractor.
