Woke up to temperatures over 70F and sunny.
Also woke to Lyn with a sore and blocked ear and me the the aches and stuffiness of a cold .
We decided to go down to the pharmacy to see what they could advise for Lyn as the pain was not going away, if that failed we’d try to find a doctor. After giving the symptoms it was apparent that the problem was most likely a mucus plug in the estu estac eusta ear tube!! We got some medication which came highly recommended and hasbeen released from requiring a prescription. So far it seems to be working and the ear is draining.
A friend who is on vacation in the UK deposited some money into my UK bank for me and asked me to confirm it was indeed there. I can log into the bank on the internet but it is a little more convoluted than logging into Canadian Banks. You have to insert one of your bank cards into a special electronic gizmo they provide you with, you enter your pin and the machine generates an 8 digit number which is your password of the minute. Anyway the system wouldn’t log me in so I phoned the bank. All went well until they got to security question #5 and #6, when, and for how much was your latest transaction with the bank, well I had no idea as I couldn’t log in to find out, and they couldn’t let me log in without answering the security question. This went round and round for a few minutes until I asked, in that very calm and diplomatic tone that I am renowned for when I get nowhere on the phone, to speak to a supervisor. After holding for 5 minutes I hung-up and called back This time I bluffed my way through the security questions, and on we got with the process of working out why my login failed. Turns out that the card expired on Feb 29th, whoops! For some reason our not too reliable phone link decided to die (well maybe it had a little help!)
Once or twice a week they have jam sessions at the resort where all manner of musicians get together to play. Tonight they had a sing-along / concert which we went to. It wasn’t too bad, and provided some entertainment. Turns out I had met the leader of the group previously, he was an Air Traffic Controller in Winnipeg…. small world
