Not a great day. It didn't start well - apart from the fact that it was raining I made the mistake of switching on the This Morning programme. The majority of the programme was given over to the most controversial points of the Megan interview. I couldn't believe some of the things she came out with, such as her criticism of the head of the human resources team at the palace who said they couldn't help with her mental health concerns. Why on earth she thought they would be able to and to even have asked them is beyond me. And of course there was the other highly controversial issue. That finally made up my mind for me not to watch the interview tonight, it would be two hours of my life wasted while wanting to put my foot through the TV screen.
The rain continued nearly all day, I decided to hunt for the charger for my spare phone, I was successful so then I was able to contact Vodafone about the phone being disconnected. After several frustrating attempts to contact them by phone I resorted to the online chat, these things are supposed to be quick but invariably take much longer than a phone call. The upshot was that they did not refund the credit that was still on the pay as you go, they said it was too long ago for them to have records. Baloney! I had to order a new SIM card with a new number, that wasn't straightforward and entailed another online chat, I was so sick of it all.
I'd read that a new vaccination centre was opening today only a few miles away so had been checking every ten minutes for appointments . Eventually in the afternoon it came up, I hurriedly clicked to book a slot, when I requested the same place for the second jab it said it wasn't available. After going back a couple of times to look for one that wasn't miles away I decided to book anything for the second one and change it nearer the date. Put my email address in for a confirmation.
I got a message from a friend asking if I'd had my jab, at the same time the postie arrived with a parcel. Rang my friend to say that I'd just now been successful, while we were talking I later checked for a confirmation email, nothing there so checked the website and realised there was another button I should have clicked. When I did so it told me the appointment was gone. Aaaarrghh! Haven't been able to get another one there since.
Made myself get on with some chores, it was still raining and I'd come to the conclusion that I wouldn't get out for a walk. I was so wound up and needed a release. At 4.30 it had finally stopped raining so out I went, squelching across the field did help me. Felt calmer when I got home, had a normal evening after a day that had left me wishing I hadn't bothered getting up.
