Hi all. I aiten't dead, just RL seems to be a mite overwhelming lately.

WeeMidgie I opted for rechargeable hearing aids from $pecs*vers. Not cheap by a long chalk, but oh, the relief of not having the battery give out at the most inconvenient moments!

We've been Mishka-proofing the bungalow, ready for the one-year-old, very inquisitive Siberian Husky who is due to arrive for her holiday in just under half an hour.

Afternoon folks.


It's not so nice here today and there's the promise of Artic air coming in from Friday. I'm getting logs in each time I go out.

My DM has been panicking since yesterday - she had an appointment for the Eye Dept this afternoon. Late last night she noticed that she'd got the date / time wrong as it was changed by the hospital (I think) to 9a.m today.. Being 100 miles away the only thing I could do was call the hospital first thing this morning and cancel her appointment. Her new one is February 2019 so I'll phone up each week to see if there's a cancellation.

My morning group was lovely, they had an assessment to do which kept them very quiet and industrious for the whole two hours. Now I've got a load of marking to do before the weekend, it's all on a system called Blackboard which I find clumsy and clunky so I'll download them and print out.

I'm glad to hear news of Holly and from TA. :heartpuls

Hi LW, that's the way my thinking's going too. The last time I tried hearing aids, the darn things were so small and the battery compartment difficult to open... when I saw recently that you can just recharge the whole aid now, I thought that'll do nicely.



I'm also going to look at blue tooth options, esp for a microphone in crowded places. Something like the Roger pen. If I'm going to invest a significant amount of money, I should be investing in the best equipment. We'll see how it goes!
