I hate shopping sites that set up 2 stage validations without asking me. I need to order stuff but can't because they sent a code to my home. And even using the new magnifying lens I cant see texts.

He did thing was, in spite of me having almost no vision without the eye, they kept giving me letter and booklets
4 bottles of different eye drops
And a warning bracelet

None of which I could read.

A friend told then to colour code the bottles and wrote or when to use each one . Turns out I can read 20pf font although it's fuzzy.

And told me the bracelet was aist if things I mustn't do for the next 2 months.

I managed to buy a magnifying glass. So I can read part of a line of medium sized text at a time. Menawhile I have to posture for 7 days post op. That is sit upright and still for 45 mins in every hour in the daytime, move around in the 15 mins to prevent DVT, and sleep flat on my left side at night - right on my dodgy hip

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I'd argue there is at least one other group, religious refugees who want to be safe if they go home. They aren't taking a polical position, but want their faith protected.

My vet's recently put up photos of all the staff's animals on the wall of the waiting room.
There are over 90.

So another £280+ for Benji - vet bill plus taxis.

Waiting for a call later this week about his blood results.
And I have yet another special diet to try him on.
Still, that might work out cheaper than washing my bed linen nearly every day?

Because of the wrenched shoulder, I took him in the carrier on my powerchair, as I can't use a walking stick and carry him at the moment. Neither of us enjoyed it.

The recent post by Daniel made me wonder if any filkers have put Wilfred Owen's war poetry to music?

My favourite is Strange Meeting, but this one is better known

As I've come to expect Daniel sings the words I'd want to write. Leslie Fish wrote some great songs; I didn't always agree with her later views but she will be remembered for her music. https://youtu.be/iTC2QN-LVT4?si=f-y54NlcWFA7N_AO #WarSongs

@pthane@toot.wales I had a wordpress free site for years. Then after I ignored suggestions I paid to upgrade it, I found wp advertising my site address for sale. Some dodgy company took another author's site, kept her books up but added a load of stuff she wouldn't support to the front page.

My online life apart from here is reducing. Yet another group I've been involved with has gone down the AI route, proudly telling us it is trained on all the available research papers to answer my questions. And the first 2 questions are free. Nothing about the use of copyright research papers, or the huge environmental costs. Just an assurance it can answer my questions so I don't need to do my own research. I've lost count of how many sites I've closed accounts on or unsubscribed from in the past weeks. #NoAIDataTheft #ClimateChange

Nearly a full week since the crash. I got several new bruises appearing over the first few days as the deeper tissue damage visibly emerged. Only another 5-7 weeks to go before I'm back to my usual limited mobility.

#WritersCoffeeClub 06 local writing communities? I occasionally end up at a small writing group in the library, but I feel embarrassed that I can easily write a short piece from a prompt in a few minutes. I'm the only one with a completed piece that just needs light editing. The organiser needs more people to justify running the group otherwise I probably wouldn't go. The only time before that I joined an in-person group was in the days when I did Nanowrimo, before it went in a direction I wouldn't support. All the others knew each other, and were about 40 years younger than me. And several commented on that. Apparently writing after retiring from my career was amazing ... I couldn't face going back.

Scammy research publishers. It is all about the money these days. I hope people can afford to sue them. "In a 2024 article in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing, Graham Kendall, the deputy vice chancellor at MILA University in Nilai, Malaysia, detailed possible connections between Walsh Medical Media and the publishing group OMICS. In 2019, OMICS was ordered to pay the U.S. government $50 million in 2019 for “unfair and deceptive practices.” " https://retractionwatch.com/2026/03/05/publisher-demands-500-from-impersonated-author-to-retract-paper/ #RetractionWatch #Research

@dtl@8bitorbust.info We used to be encouraged to do a simple check, eg if you multiply 85 by 92 the answer should be less than 10,000 and more than 2,500. Using easier numbers to check a reasonable range for the answer. My experience with new maths graduates is they don't even think this way.

Today's first achievement was getting out of bed. Day 2 and 3 post accident have seen the main pain points more obvious after the everything hurts day 1. I'm making adjustments so I can get to various non accident medical stuff plus a very important meeting. First up though is positioning my wheelchair so the delivery man can put all my food on it. Then I can wheel it into the kitchen. Then I need to have a shower before all the pain meds kick in fully as the water company are about to turn off my water. I'd usually just not have one but today that wouldn't be fair on the dentist.

Just read yet another list of how to get stuff done and how tp prioritise then clear your tasks. I read it hoping there might be something for me, but no. All that analysis, but neurodivergence is largely ignored. If you dont understand the recall and sequencing issues dyslexics have then you are ignoring a significant part of the group who struggle with ordering and completing tasks. Writing a list really doesn't help if I can't recall I wrote it.

The cup part of my shoulder joint has more damage, but I think not so much change. And well I'd prefer not to have any arthritis, this visual proof of stuff for my GP stops the 'shall we cut/drop your pain meds' at my annual reviews.

Seeing the x-rays of my shoulder was interesting. I've had issues for many years, including flare ups of Frozen Shoulder starting in my late 30s, but previous GPs never referred me. Just paracetamol dear. Then tipping over my previous road scooter some years ago, on yet another dodgy dropped kerb, I had an x-ray. The emergency doc thought Id broken it but ortho said no, that's arthritic damage. So it finally went on my record. Today I could see more damage in the joint. The ball part is a curved wavy line instead of an arc. Not surprised, and glad it isn't broken, but evidence for GPs is good. #Arthritis

Home late. The lifts at my home stations aren't working. I knew there was a problem this morning so asked when I transferred trains. Took them ages to get their calls answered, meanwhile my last train was sitting at the station in front of me, with, I expect some very disgruntled passengers. Finally confirmed no lifts so the train left without me about 6 or 7 min late, and the staff arranged a taxi ( which they pay for). The issue? Someone tried to break into the station office, and broke the lock so no one could open the door to turn everything on. They called a locksmith but the police made them wait for forensics. There's no money in there, no much worth trying to steal, and it cost the train company money for repairs and transporting disabled people by taxies. And delayed a lot of people this evening.

@Knitronomicon@mastodonapp.uk Cream in the tea, blueberry muffins (ie buns not UK muffins), morning calls in the actual morning when people are breakfasting, and the complete misunderstanding of titles. An hour by horse to Gretna Green but days to go 20 miles. And the move away from real editors didn't help.

@tiggy@mastodonapp.uk I bought a cheap set of ebooks this week that looked possibly interesting - wartime mystery books - but by about chapter five in the first one it was obviously written by an Amer

@Knitronomicon@mastodonapp.uk Sound like the appalling range of books set in Regency England, too many of which are full of obvious errors but still get 5 star reviews from Americans. I'm always grateful for authors who go against that tide and do some research. There is a good author of mediaeval mysteries here if you like that genre. She is a historian and knows the history of that period. But no audiobooks yet so I can't read many if her books.

So a busy two days. Coaching someone through chairing an independent exclusion appeal, then start into the Iftar event. Today an early start, and plenty of coffee before the media interview. After which I was too hyped up to rest so I converted a doc into a presentation and emailed people to organise the trail run through. Then I found I'd left a tissue in my black wash, so shook off what I could and put it back in the machine. But it was fine as I didn't have anything in my calendar until tomorrow evening. Until I suddenly remembered at 16.30 that I do have a meeting tomorrow and I need to leave at 06.30 to catch the train. I should have been resting all day. I hope I can get enough coffee! #ELC

@cycleboy1957@mastodon.social Accompanying anyone into the booth is against the law, so polling staff should stop anyone trying to enter the booth with another person. So did it really happen and if so, why didn't they report it at the time?

Home from an Iftar event. Caught up with friends from the various faith groups (SACRE, ASC, Faith Leaders) and the local Mayor. And I am full of chicken curry.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Idiots. And given my experience of ESA, this will damage people's health. DWP told me to go back to work immediately after one of their barely trained private doctors awarded me zero points. Even though I was signed off work so my employer (the civil service) wouldn't let me back. Nearly a 10 mth wait for the tribunal, then the panel stopped partway through the questions because I'd already scored 25 points (I needed 16).

I just tried to access an article about whether or not Biobank UK data was available to a racist 'research' group. But it's pay walled. Apart from the Guardian articles does anyone have a link to the investigations? #DataSecurity

#FAWM I did it! Some are nowhere near my best efforts, but in spite of the sight problem I wrote the lyrics for 14 new songs this month. More than I'd usually write in a productive year, and those are rare.

So a bit of my history. An answer to to game today reminded me of the time when we lived in Barbados. Just across a road to the beach. I've never been a strong swimmer but I loved the warm water. Until one day, when I saw a Portuguese Man o War close to me in the sea. I tried the swim away, time slowed as it floated closer. Then it lashed me across my back. A long diagonal line. The pain was excruciating. Mother had been told to rub sand across my skin (not recommended, it made it worse). I spent a couple of days lying down while she doused my skin with a lime scented cologne. I couldn't stand the smell of that for years. Although I still prefer swimming in the sea to a swimming pool.
