Been riding a motorbike! The weather hasn't been great today, but it didn't rain. It was a bit more windy than I would notice in a car/minibus but I survived :D :D :D :D :D

At long last I have successfully got accounts on the e-devlet (e-government) and e-nabiz (e-pulse, health stuff) sites. I thought I had an e-devlet account but my password wasn't recognised and the 'forgotten password' link didn't like my details for some reason.

But who would have thought you can get direct access to the e-devlet site by going through your banking app? Not me but that's how I got there. :thumbup:

Having got there, passwords were sorted, e-nabiz sorted and my 4th covid jab booked for tomorrow. I can then get my EU covid passport thingy which means I can fly to Istanbul on Friday for the F1 Turkish Grand Prix.

The world is a happy place!

On a Teams call with my line manager. He's telling me how shit his life is at the moment.. . when a notification pops up that the MD is calling.

Drop the line manager and take the MD call.... he's got HR with him. "We're going to sack your line manager because of his negativity".

I don't think I told them what they wanted to hear, so hopefully he's got a stay of execution.

Today I have had a walk along Felixstowe prom with my beautiful wife, had a minor altercation in a petrol station with a young lady who thought she could jump the minor queue (I may have over reacted and been overly sweary) had a ride to Orford and fiddled with my YPVS.

Received a text from an unknown to me number, not unusual but I thought it amusing.

It read: Can you come to <island> for the day on the 28th, <female name> will collect you and drop you back at the ferry. xx

I've accepted the offer.

Went out for a meal with the Mrs at lunch time.

We like to eat out regularly, sometimes somewhere decent but quite happy going for breakfast in a cafe.

But aren’t prices creeping up? At least I think they are.

A 2 course meal in an Italian in Edinburgh (nice enough meal I’ll give it to them but just pasta, nothing exotic) plus soft drinks ..£52.

Yes, we’re the same and have noticed a distinct increase in prices. Especially when you take into account the reduction in the vat rate for hospitality.

I didn't even realise that hospitality VAT had gone down - or that it went back up last week - until the guy who runs my local Chinese moaned about it.

Went from 20% down to 5% about the time the help out/eat out scheme started. It’s now gone to 12.5%, and due a return to 20% in April.

Electric has gone off :( :( I did panic that maybe I hadn't paid a bill! But the whole building is out, so it's not just me!!!

I'm ok till the phone battery dies :o :o :o :o

Might go see if the cafe has electric so I can get a hot drink - no point getting the heater out till the electric comes back on!! LOL
