It's Monday, I'm sitting at the computer, and my fingers are feeling a lot better than they did last night. I really am going to have to sort out my pill taking practices. Unfortunately the first knuckle of my right hand is still sore and is making it difficult to use the entire hand, including holding a pen. These things are sent to try us.

I've just completed my State Pension application form online. I don't generally like official forms, but this one was quite simple and is intended to give me money. I could get used to this. Normally they are a bit trickier and are aimed at costing me money.
Meanwhile I am starting to worry that the telephone consultation I had booked for 10.45 has gone astray. It's over two hours late and though it's not unknown for them to be late, I am less confident in the system than I used to be after what happened with my last telephone consultation.
Sadly, the Pension Application is the only writing I've done. Apart from making an omelette and a cup of tea it's also the only work I've actually done. I had intended that today would be a day of industry. How many times have you herd that?

I just tried to ring the surgery to check about the appointment. The phone isn't connecting and, at the moment it is also refusing to shut down. This is the second time it has done this to me and I am not happy. While it is trying to shut itself off (how difficult can that be?) nobody can get through. In the days of simple phones this never happened.
I've now been waiting nine minutes to get through to the surgery and have had to listen to their recorded message about the new contact system starting in March. Apparently it will be quicker and more efficient to make contact via an online form. This will be reviewed by "triage practitioners" . This means that either the NHS has recruited a whole new level of specialist staff or they have given the receptionists a new job title. Guess which I feel is most likely.
I don't suppose it will be a surprise to find out that I'm not keen on modern technology.
After 18 minutes I have progressed from number 7 to number 21 in the queue!
