Rang Baxi this morning 8am "we are experiencing high call volumes etc." Got transferred to auto call back, said it would be within 2 hours. Nearly 2.5 later I had to ring again. Says alot for the product when the help line is constantly engaged doesn't it?
No engineer available til Weds So showers only until then. Since we took out the care plan in Nov, this is the 5th or 6th time I have called about hot water being off. The call taker said can he send me some info on Baxi products, you can imagine my response

I've only been on the antibiotic a couple of days Rich, hardly time for it to do anything. There's no walk in centre around here, only a handful of "emergency" on the day appointments at the surgery or A&E if you've got 4 or 5 hours to spare! The swelling is primarily on the lower eyelid and below it, the swelling isn't noticeable lower on the face but I can feel it "isn't right".

Afternoon all, The skies have darkened and here come the showers, I managed to get all the gardening done, pruning the tomato plants in the greenhouse, the French beans are ready for harvesting too.
I've made a Chilli Con Carni for tea tonight but it tastes a bit on the hot side with rice & garlic bread, smells good though I've got a lasagne ping meal out of the freezer just in case Blimey Steve I hope they can get to the bottom of your eye infection, I once had the pleasure of taking Dad to the walk in centre whilst it was school holidays, you're right about the times, When we got to the reception desk the digital notice board read, waiting time is 4 hours 15 minutes

Today on the way to Braintree I got to witness some great driving by someone in an Open Reach Van
Sorry about the sound going off half way through.......It seems my radio playing Roy Orbison fell foul of copyright . Deniece Williams on the other hand seems fine

Evening Jeff, it looked as though the Open Reach driver was in a hurry, no matter what. You did well to keep your distance

Good evening all, I have an appointment to have the bypass and 4 aneurysms scanned and to see the vascular surgeon to discuss the results. The surgeon can’t see me until September 12th. I will have the full body scan on the same day. He is the lead vascular consultant for Bristol, but he is on leave for most of August. The cut off danger point - where it’s not safe to leave it, is 5.5 cm for abdominal aortic aneurysm and 2 cm for the aneurysm in the knee. Last year the AAA was 4.8 and the knee one was 1.8, the other 3 were 1.8 and considered small. I try not to think about it too much, that way I can cope

He/She didn't know that the lorry was going to turn left immediately after the roundabout and had no intention of staying behind for the next 10 miles. Blindly crossing over the cheverons and onto the oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road, those vehicles also having to take avoiding action. I have reported it and sent the dashcam evidence as well to the Police. Not something I would ever do for a genuine mistake where no one was hurt, that was no mistake though. The driver needs at the least someone to have a word in their ear about the manner of their driving

Is it a progressive thing where as it will always grow or can the aneurysms not increase in size and stay as they are? If they always grow are there things that you can do to slow the process down?
