    Really sorry to read about the falls beanie. Not sure if the worry about struggling to find somewhere with onsite parking for your jab is  affecting your concentration or the falls would have happened anyway. but having something on your mind can affect your concentration and you have both the worry over PIP on your mind though as I've said before there are backlogs and a decision should arrive in time, My youngest had delays to her PIP and ESA SG claims but already in reciept of both they didn't stop either payment and eventually both award letters arrived. needing your jab but not being offered anywhere to suit your needs is another thing on your mindI I can uderstand how a backlog built up with DWP as they were trying to deal with many more new claims due to the pandemic but the problem accessing somewhere with online parking to have your jab should not happen and is not following the disability act and excludes those who can't park elsewhere and make their way to the centre, pharmacy or any other destination.

  • I missed both Martin and Ian Rankin had no idea they were on tv. The 2nd to last Rebus book is with youngest now with a final one to arrive when it's available.
    I've been watching the weekly repeats again of Rebus. Ken Stott not John Hannah who wasn't anything like the Rebus in the books. I know every word of each episode over the years. Recently it was the one about Trevor Jack and after Rebus had spent the time  throughout that episode pretending to be his friend and believing him innocent I watched Trevor Jack drive away after they'd met in a cafe for a chat.I watched Rebus pull out his phone knowing exactly what he was about to say. Type of car, registration number , driver Trevor Jack intercept and detain .
