Here in Sussex, we don't tolerate rain during the day. It would be too inconvenient, consequently, we arranged to have our allotted rainfall throughout the night. It did overrun, however, and it was probably 9 o'clock before it switched off.
We had an appointment at the hospital. Diane needed her regular blood test and had arranged for the first of three calibration checks on her blood analyser. We had a bit of waiting around as they only had 2 of 3 phlebotomists working today. Once the blood test was done, the appointment with the Anticoag Clinic was almost immediate. The nurse walked Diane through the self-test process and as we watched the result pop up, the lab delivered the hospital's results. They matched perfectly. We have two further calibration checks to complete before the hospital will accept the self-test results as accurate. The next test is scheduled for a week today.
We left the hospital and went into Chichester. I had a cheque (yes, what a quaint idea) to pay in from DVLA. The online app should be able to do this by photographing the cheque, but this failed every time I tried it. I decided I would report this to the Bank. We went through the process with the assistant. It failed again. I gave him the phone. It failed again. I suggested trying it against a dark background (as recommended). After several tries, it worked.
We stopped off for a coffee before returning to the car (picking up a Turner's Steak and Ale pie on the way) and heading home.
