Eye, eye

I had a sight test in December and the pressure was up in my left eye.  I was advised to go back within 3 months to have it rechecked.  My nice optician has referred me to the hospital as she suspects I may be developing glaucoma.  I will keep you posted.
 

Bones Picture

I posted about my trip to Chandler's Ford.  Here is a photo I took; not very good but it shows the lovely Helen Vollam, the equally lovely Jayne Murrill and the back of Becky Smith's head!  I did get one of Laura McDonald but it was blurred.

When I was there I bought their album 'Ten' which I listened to yesterday.  It is a beautifully smooth sounding ensemble (except where it needs to be otherwise) and wonderfully relaxing in a way.  They coax the sounds from the instruments rather than blast away.  It did cross my mind whether they play differently when in a small room and being recorded.

Talent by the bucket load.

The lady in the band on the left was a flugel hron player who had an amazing tone.

Bones Apart

Chocolate Mug Cake

Over at Kelloggsville there is a recipe for a cake in a mug.  I had to try it.

The first picture is of the cakes in the microwave and the second of one on a plate.  I had my doubts that the recipe quantities were correct and, although they seem to be, take it from me you do not want to eat a whole one.  Also, if you have chocolate chips they will improve it [we did, but I didn't think we did so I left them out]

An end to the matter

I finally got to speak on the phone to the Area Manager of the company and we have agreed to differ.  He put his side and I put mine.  He claims they let all the air out of all 4 tyres in order to reinflate them with nitrogen to a pressure of 28psi which is the pressure they were at to start with.  So that's three tyres which did not need attending to which were attended to.  He says they explained the benefits of nitro inflation to Mrs Saw and she agreed to have all this done.

I am pleased they are refunding me the money - should anyone from the company stumble across this blog - but I fear I shall not be taking my business to them again, at least not in a hurry.  If I do I will be quite clear as to what I do want done and what I do not want done.

Perhaps somebody with a legal mind can let me know if I have said anything on this topic I ought not to have said, or at least tell me if I have told the truth in a way which some may not find palatable. [I have removed the company name to be sure!]

 

Kinky sex with rubber?

I had a reply from the tyre company; they are going to refund some of my money as a goodwill gesture.  The wording of part of their letter made me groan in disbelief.  Consummation - not in front of the children, please! [Click to enlarge]

I am also annoyed - and I will write back - that they regard refunding the inflation of the 3 unaffected tyres as 'goodwill'.

Ha bloody ha!

I had to laugh.  The Saw family have had dealings with this mob in the past.
