Bank Holiday Morning

Its a day off which is nice. I am determined to box a few jobs today. Jean is off to the garden centre place and bloggin, inbox and a bit of work are on my list.
So going back intime.

Friday. Wedding Anniversary 16 years.
Start the day dropping into the matchworks, then straight out to Speke Health centre. I am off to see Karen a school nurse with technology troubles. She tripped veronica the wink and I am released to problem solve. Karen works for North Liverpool PCT - I loked for a link but couldnt find one Google brings back Which points you to a 404 error she is based in a Glad to say number one in a south liverpool pct search site and needs to access systems in here - alder hey .com whats that about via systems based in here. Words like access and firewall scare me - heaven help the user. All she knows is she cant do her job and it is getting on her pip seems fair comment to me. Still the 14 months she has been going on about it sounds fair comment. I am relieved that I am able to find the SLPCT website through Google. Seems a fairly fundamental priciple to me. Anyway it isnt going to be easy. Also meet a lady who needs a larger mouse cursor. Interesting one I shall investigate. Then back to the works the off to Hammy. Brian needs to fiddle with my laptop to enable VPN access to NHS net ...nice. I make his day by informing him of the the upgrade of telewest to 3 megs- poor soul lives in a non telewest area. I do some useful liason stuff. Plus a walk to out to lunch (no website - yet) with Tony sad fella still reads the blog so better mention him (just joking mate). Some very drugged up chaps enter and scare the life out of me.I am sputtering from just the weed residue on their clothing. last time I felt like that was Bob Marley 1977 stafford. I score a prawn sandwich and its back to his office. I notice the library is shut for business and the entire worls seems tobe shutting down early for the holiday weekend.
Ally irritates by scooting off to her mates straight from school and causes a rethink of plans. Still nothing insurmountable - I pick her up drop her off and Tesco.
Score some flowers wine chocs (Gordon Ramsay - crap dont bother). Thought I liked him but dont.
Mickey and Jane top friends and off to the Patio. Lovely gaff - drinks and in for a meal thre types of each colour house wine - that impressed me.
So the order

Go to bed far too late.
