  • Friday , another exercise session 🥵 

    Saturday was interesting , but very enjoyable and great day .. 
    Met local friend . We got 2 buses 🚌🚌to an industrial estate that sells musical instruments .
    We we're going to checkout the new record shop in Poole but rumour had it that it is no more
    Regarding the music shop it is great with very friendly staff . All law abiding also😷
    I purchased a few cheap cables for my moog synths . My friend got the keyboard he wanted 🎹🎼. 
    Regarding the buses 🚌🚌, I of course being on the vulnerable list and wary about using them , had no need to worry . We were the only 2 on a couple of them , and onky a couple of other people on other ones so things worked out fine . 

    We then took a gamble🎲 🎲and found a pub in Poole with benches outside plus table service.
    we had 3 ciders 🍺🍺🍺. One problem though is that my cards were declined when I tried to buy round 3 . Round 1 was okay , but it was something to do with 5he wifi of the pub . I noticed that it happened to another group on another table . I checked my banking app yesterday and panic is over . We had a coffee also ☕️

    Helping my brother with his broadband yesterday evening and my speech was Ozzy osbourne like once more .🦇Tired and not good .

    Usual pattern 🛌. Feeling rough and crabby this morning 🦀. Having said 5hat , I just had a go at 5he step workout once again 🥵. I did this instead of the walk 🐾. Yes I am mad 
    Looking at the weather for next couple of weeks , I will be getting back into a walking routine this week which I endeavour to stick to 🐾

    Run out of bread 🥖, but there were only 6 slices in it anyway so I will order some more .
    My last tub of my&s ultimate mash will be had today . The last of the cream will be had also 🐄
    perrier as well . May do yet another online shop , but not as much as everything else is still there 

    I'll leave it there 🌞...

    Glad you enjoyed your trip to the pub.  We also ventured out to the pub and the same thing happened to you happened at another table, their card was declined - they had to go into the pub with the machine to pay.  My card was OK.  It's strange with the wifi but I think that it comes and goes a lot when its outside.

    Your speech is mainly an issue when talking to your brother. You have said he is chaotic so it may be stress?

    I wish that were the case DIA 😼
    It's part of my myasthenia gravis . Dysarthria . My eye collapses also . 
    It's not stress , but my body slows down in the afternoon .  
    It doesn't matter who I talk to at certain times tbh .
    This morning my speech was mumbled talking to my friend . It was dropping in and out on Saturday . 
    It's a strange condition which makes me self conscious also .
    Having said that , some people are more draining than others 
    I'll leave it there ..😼

    Raging with Ryman / FedEx ..
    Resolver have been good initially . Case is still open . 
    I received email from person in customer services ( who are worse than crap) ,and I am told item reordered and will be with me in 3-5 working days . This is atrociously bad .
    I replied that it is not on , and that there is no apology or postage deducted and I want my refund 
    I also posted that in resolver . 
    Initially , I wouldn't have minded if I got the item yesterday minus charge for postage .
    However, with their lack of feeling or professionalism they can foxtrot Oscar ! 

    I cannot stand awful customer service 

    I have contacted PayPal ,asking for refund and will see what they say also

    I'll leave it there..

    I'm the same with rubbish customer services. I hope it gets resolved soon.

    Thanks DIA . 
    I received an email this morning advising me that they would like to refund me, but cannot unless I close my PayPal case . Yes, I would really be a mug to do that ..
    The crates have been sent out but I will ask 5he courier to put them back in 5he van and return them.

    Further investigation from myself , told me that now is the time to escalate the case to PayPal which I have just done . This means that , I cannot contact Ryman in any way ( not that I properly could in the first place ) and I would leave PayPal to step in on my behalf . If I closed the case , I would have been shafted . Initially, I was laid back ...if the postage got refunded and the items arrived by now . However, due to their blunt robotic attitude and lack of proper care I want the refund and am determined to get it . I have patience and will order crates from the Amazon which I should have done initially 🤦. As we are in lockdown , I forgot that it has been over 2 weeks since I placed the order. Time flies ⏰when in this lockdown situation . 

    I've just received emails from PayPal advising  that they provisionally put a refund back into account ( sounds good) but Ryman have until 1st may to resolve ..
    Anyhow, too much rambling  so I'll leave it there ...🌞

    Hello AC.  You made me laugh with your comment of coordination like Paul Gascoigne on a bender!  We're all like that though when first starting exercise routines.  I remember trying to do some Zumba classes and just felt so awkward the whole way through!  Initially I spend all the time trying to get into position only for it to change to the next thing as soon as I do.

    What an issue with those crates.  You ordered those ones purely to get them faster, didn't you?  Hopefully they've been in touch now and you've got it resolved?

    I love Jean Michel Jarre music in the background.  I've not thought of looking to those CD's for sleep aids.  I'll check those out as I struggle to sleep and often wake around 2am!  I think that's the Devil Hour isn't it?  That would make sense on my part!  

    How was your coffee with your friend?  Lots of catching up and putting the world to rights?

    I hope all's ok with you.

    Hello mt😼
    I've just done another session on the stepper🥵Better this time , but if I keep at it in theory there should be more co-ordination . Zumba is tough so hats off to you for doing it 

    Regarding Jarre: if you want total ambience , then the final track on waiting for Cousteau is the one to go for. Plus the latest one . 
    Klaus schulze time wind plus early tangerine dream also are recommended . 

    Coffee was great☕️Probably to be repeated by the weekend .
    I'll leave it there 😼..,
  • Met local friend for a coffee ☕️☕️
    The right time and day for obvious reasons 🌝. I haven't been out since I saw my friend on Saturday 🙀 . I said to myself yesterday that I will go out today regardless . No need for a walk beforehand 🐾,as the hill coming back from the green would take anyone's breath away . It's something I need to get to grips with again . 
    Speaking of Saturday , we chose the right time to be in Poole . My friend's daughters went 5here on Sunday and it was way too busy apparently. 

    Will start back walks again tomorrow 🐾 . I think I'll change my route and do this hill , as I used to do it regularly . 🥵

    Had session with mr trainer on Tuesday 🏋️‍♀️. Another tough one , as he changes things around on a more regular basis which keeps me on my toes . Did the step routine yesterday as mentioned, and a rest day today . Will do the other workouts as and when , with possibly another rest day before another live workout on Tuesday . 

    I managed to get an Ocado 🛒delivery yesterday . I booked the day before surprisingly and didn't hesitate when I saw the slot available . I decided I will order bread 🥖, but a couple of small sliced brown gluten free  loaves . Not even loaves really .; I may try to have one slice a day , or 2 every few days . I'll decide when I get the cravings . 
    Still, I haven't ordered crisps for a couple of weeks so not all bad . 

    I have to order another cd from the Amazon . This time it's the latest album from sparks .
    up there with abba as being one of the best pop bands imho,.  I didn't know about it till my friend mentioned it . 

    No further news from PayPal/ Ryman's but i expect it'll take a few days . If the crates that I now don't want arrive between now and Monday , I'll politely say "no thanks please return " 

    Anyway , I'm hungry so iI'll leave it there... 🌞
