    Depends on your surgery's systems - some let you order a repeat prescription online, some let you phone for a repeat, others you have to go to drs in person -but the meds have to have been set up as repeat meds

    So in response to the OP - I have worked from home for the last 3 years so my days are not a lot different to normal - at least whilst I have work to do.
    Evenings and weekends I am starting to work through the list of jobs that need doing in the house and garden that I have kept putting off due to having better things to do - enough of those to keep me going for a while yet

    I had to get a repeat last week. I called my doctors surgery and asked what to do. She asked me a few questions about the condition etc and then sent a prescription to my local pharmacy via e-mail I think. If its a long term prescription for stuff like blood pressure/cholesterol etc you can have a 12 month lodged with your pharmacy, then you just ring them up and they will get it ready for you.You then have to pick it up and sign for it. Hope this helps.

    I think the birds are also self isolating. I've got bird feeders, fat balls (easy) and nuts hanging in the trees but scarcely a dickie.

    "Eye of newt and wing of bat..."

    That kind of curse? Don't forget to get a sample of their hair. And if you're dancing naked round the cauldron, shut the curtains.

    at the risk of being a tad pedantic - you never 'climb' Snowdon - you either 'walk' up or get the train (closed at the moment.)
    so what am I doing to pass the time --
    a) getting stopped by the police for being out in my car and
    b) being a pain in the a**e for criticising other posters messages!

    So far I've been catching up on Supernatural which isn't shown in UK and playing on Xbox One.

    Being a pedant back but I'd call this a climb rather than a walk

    I must say, I too have been a little saddened by the smaller number of birds visiting. I find bird watching very therapeutic.

    If you use your hands it's a climb if you don't use your hands it's a hike/walk.

    Most routes up Yr Wyddfa are hikes - if you take the route which goes over Crib Coch (Red-Comb) from Pen Y Gwryd you may say you've climbed Crib Coch but you haven't climbed Snowdon. Once over Crib Coch you join the path which follows the Railway track and you walk up to the summit of Yr Wyddfa.
