I gather the greengrocer has to upload all his transactions from the card reader when he gets home to Loders! And cancelling a flu jab required entering details on a PostIt!
Interesting that there is no backup system. This must apply to many areas, do you think?

Two photos of a wire wrapped figure 8 which will eventually hold the clasp of the silver and peridot bracelet. The photos are nearly identical top and bottom.
And as long as Iโm practicing, figured I might as well make them into a chain.
Who knew? I CAN wear magnifiers over my glasses. Practicing for the Big Job I gotta do.

I live the 'Golden Rule' in real life
Deeply and sincerely
I don't call good people, activists, or resisters names.
If people call me names or attack me, I typically just block. It's a hostile frustrating environment without reward. Not going to put up with nonsense I wouldn't put on others. TY
