Bluewater to get me phone sorted (battery change)

Well what fun today has been

I arrived late thanks to two major traffic incidents caused by fuckwit truckers (see filling trousers thread for one) that have paralysed roads in North Kent all day.  But no problem as the idiot woman with the appointment before hadn't read any of the instructions and couldn't remember her password and had let the battery run flat.  Apple staff are very patient, I'd have told her to eff off and not darken their doors again.

Then Apple battery changer managed to break the display on my phone changing the battery (actually this isn't uncommon with more recent iPhones so gave me a £199 display replacement for free   

Then to eye test to be told my right eye retina has been bleeding again    

Then loads of shopping and not a little eating 

Then trying to get home with roads totally jammed due to incident 2 (some arse sprayed hydraulic fluid on 400 metres of Dartford tunnel) still not being sorted as massive resurfacing needed.

 

Bleeding eye …

I had quite a bad retinal bleed in 2007, this one is much smaller and away from the Macula but it's a worry that it could happen again.  When the optometrist noticed it she went back through my prior scans and says it seemed to happen in 2022.

But then I am 70 and well past my best before date

Off to get popcorn seasoning …

Bout two weeks ago I ordered Fibre Interwebz for the new apartment in Pafos... Delivery time 10 working days...

This morning the Cyta Engineer calls me to say he is coming to install - yippeeeee!

...but I'm in Pissouri, not Pafos...

BM: I'm not there at the moment, I can be there in 30 mins.
CE: I'll wait for you.

* Jumps in car and zooms to Pafos *

40 mins later...

CE: Are you in?
BM: Yes!
CE: I'm ringing your doorbell!
BM: You're not, the door is open!
CE: Come outside so I can see you!
BM: I'm outside, I can't see you, where are you?
CE: I'm outside your building, number 51!
BM: 51 is in Pissouri, I left there to come to Pafos for the installation, I already have fibre in Pissouri!
CE: Oh...
BM:
