I just had a chat with OMCB and it turns out she had her flu jab today too. I’d have given her a lift to the surgery, had she asked, but she didn’t say anything. She said she’d thought the walk would do her good - that’s over a mile, uphill all the way. And she’s 91 now, honestly, I arsk you!
She did admit that there was only one word for how she felt when she got home, “Buggered”.
I love OMCB
I’m a bit fond of her m’self. She is now indulging in a glass of Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt (she was keen to tell me exactly what it was ) while she browses Amazon for some new books.
Hurrah for OMCB!
I could 3d-print you some spiky elbow caps?
That sounds like A Plan, Dunnock!

Is the Fishly Fone up & running yet?

I’ve just realised I got that wrong! 92 in fact, since last month. I can’t keep up.
Probably better than Ponders End anna… stickleback.
I simply have to read the entire (very small print) manual leaflet that came with it and work out what the frod it actually means.
This is non-trivial.
Do not try to ring me up for the time being; I have not discovered yet how to cause it to make any noise at all.
Ah. This sounds not unlike the Evil Replacement Phone of my mother’s.
Have you tried looking online for user comments/commiserations?
Not yet. Got this manual to read…
(A typo made that into “manuak”, which seems somehow apposite.)
That probably means something eye-poppingly rude in Yupik. Which feels not inappropriate for the situation.
I generally give up on print manuals and download a pdf from the manufacturer’s website. I then have a version that is (a) legible and (b) searchable.
Good thought again, Joe.
