Firstly a wee treat for the eyes, something made by Mrs B. as a special treat for one of the clients who chose the Mercat Grill as his birthday venue.
Still using my NHS membership card !!!! having had a couple more visits to the ERI and my GP. just proving that preumonia does not go away overnight!! kind of puts my gas at a peep as they say.
Looks as though our seasons are a bit back to front, suspect that we had summer before Easter and from tonight's weather forecast looks ass though winter is on its way again with frost due this week so a bit of a survival test for the flowers and plants which have been blooming.
Blooming, yes, "blooming parking ticket" dropped through the door, or is it ? While at the local surgery and using the car park which everyone thinks is shared by Lidl, I had to wait much longer than expected for the nurse and GP, so for the extra fifteen minutes I am doinged £90 or pay quick and it is £45. BUT IS IT, the letter arrived from Athena who administer the car parks , nothing to do with Lidl I was told in the store who just did not want to know. Anyway, it would appear to be one of the official looking bully boy letters, which many ignore. I did learn from the surgery that a number of their patients have been paying the money rather than ignore it.
According to the web site, Athena run these car parks for Lidl, and from what I gather there is no sharing arrangement with the Health Centre, so where do patients park as there is limited off street parking in the area? Spoke to our local SNP councillor who acknowledged that there was very limited public parking in Penicuik Town Centre which obviously affects local businesses. He described Penicuik as giant "Park and Ride" used by many from Peebles, West Linton, Eddleston and outlying areas who have a greater choice of buses into Edinburgh from here.
