Random Irritations

Not their fault I know but been planning a trip up to York for my wife's birthday on Friday to go to one of our favourite restaurants. Call just received, cancelled as staff self isolating. Now no birthday plans and £100 in train tickets wasted.

Lots of nice places there still. I know it isn't the restaurant you want to go to but surely better to go than blow the tickets and sit at home? (I'm trying to turn a negative into a positive :))

I know, place I was going was more on the higher end of things and trying to find a suitable replacement that would be the focus of the day not proving easy.

Fully get that and I understand it wont be the same. I'm sure the restaurant is just as annoyed, it's crippling for hospitality right now. I wasn't trying to ruin your post, just reclaim some positive potential from the immediate disappointment. Hopefully you can find a replacement, I'll look out in Things That Gladden the Heart :)
 
The realization that I haven't just awoken from a coma and it's now winter, but in fact the BS weather outside is in fact our summer. Playing this Saturday and it's looking like the waterproofs again.

Thanks, no blame on the restaurant at all, nothing they can do. That said, one thought would be that restaurants could form their own covid bubble whereby if they have to close, they can offer to pass your booking on to another restaurant that they are happy to recommend or at least your contact details and try and keep the spend within the local industry as opposed to in this case where the temptation is to just not bother. In previous times I would have happily walked around town, been to a number of pubs and popped in to somewhere that I pass on the way for lunch but really not up to that at the moment.

Strap in.

Mortgage was due to expire May 30th, but managed to get an extension to June 14th.
Chain all agreed to exchange June 11th...we've been ready for months, our solicitor called at 16.55 with a form we need to sign by 17.00 after telling us everything was done, so we couldn't exchange. Had to do simultaneous exchange and completion on the 14th, stressed out all weekend and all day on the Monday, but we got it done, with a 4 year old and 3 week old baby. Never again.

I had an injection for this on Monday, was sick of it ruining summer. All well so far. Worth having a look to see if you have similar nearby. Will have to go private.

Can I ask what the injection was? My son has bad symptons every year and very little helps. This may be something for him to look at.
