I'll have to keep an ear out for any sounds of life tomorrow, if there's a service I should hear something at least. Honestly I've seen less security on churches in Belfast which is why I took it for being disused, but the lights showing through only certain windows or parts of windows is just bizarre.
 
I hope the lights on at night aren't annoying you. I think they'd annoy me, I'm a light sleeper and need to shut out all sources of light to get to sleep.
There's several redundant churches in the Rochdale/Greater Manchester area, maybe it is one of them, the lights may have been switched on by somebody doing some kind of check and then not switched off again. Or maybe there is a residential flat on the premises -my old church had a small flat above the adjoining hall, which was rented out but occasionally left empty. I hope it isn't squatters or vandals/thieves, anyway!
 
The lights aren't bothering me at night (they're not really visible from my windows, and I have some great blackout blinds) but those lights are still on this morning. I've never seen movement in there which to me, counts out squatters, but Rochdale has a massive housing issue so it wouldn't surprise me.

It's just the lights showing on part of the building but not other parts, like with the skylights. And they at least managed to switch those off. What sort of weird layout do they have that building in?!
 
Update: the church still has that upstairs light on, but there are now lights in what I think is the main church area plus a light in the halls at the back (seen in the window itself rather than the skylight). It's still wigging me out but, not like it was.

Spooky! May be the church is being used and are currently holding a congregation?

Maybe. But the security over the windows is odd, and there's bricked up windows at the back where I'm assuming the halls are. There was clearly something there at some point, why brick up windows in a building still in use?

They might not have a congregation in because of Covid, to be fair, which might explain why I'm not hearing anything other than the rain and traffic noises. But I've been in a lot of churches in my time and done the whole gamut from old to new, modern decor to gothic style, Baptist, Anglican (high and low churches), Methodist, Presbyterian, even Catholic and I'm getting weirded out by a church I live close to, lol.

That’s a good point about bricking up the windows in a used church and about Covid. It’s all very strange
 
Also church related somehow, but I was watching a couple of people argue theology on Reddit yesterday (it was a deliberate choice, it was interesting to read) but now I've got some worship song stuck in my head. I haven't sung this since I was a teenager, I can't remember half the words (but I can remember the melody) and it's bugging the hell out of me lol. It was a song that was based on the scripture they were discussing which is why I can't shift it from my head.
 
Changed the coloured ink in my printer as was empty. Now things that should be orange/purple are coming out green!

My phone constantly telling me "your phone is almost full"

Having a great day! 😣
 
I could be doing with my Covid test result turning up soon enough, I'm nearly out of my fizzy caffeine :td:
 
I work with kids and it pains me when decisions are made about their ability to receive our level of care based on business politics or monetary reasons. It's just wrong.
 
"You're probably negative. If you were positive they'd have let you know by now, they won't leave it so long."

Sometimes I think she gets it, and then she says crap like this. After nearly two years how does anyone think this is how testing works?!
 
I had to report a Weirdo on ebay this morning. I had 15 emails in 2 days about how he wants to make "a tribute video" to a leotard! The one I received at 6.45am this morning was so disgusting I can't even put it on here or I'll be banned! Very glad to report that I haven't heard from him since!
 
It doesn't look like Salford hospital are going to help me with my non epileptic seizures either :( I had a letter to go online to book my appointment and it said there was no appointments available. I've just gone online again to check and it says that a specialist from neurology has looked at my referral and an appointment can't be booked and to contact my GP surgery to discuss further. Will nobody help me?

Plastic wrapping on cucumbers.

Spike and Peanut (RB piggies) wouldn't eat cucumber if it had been in plastic, the taste (and probably chemicals) must transfer across. For years I could buy unwrapped ones in a local shop, sadly no more.
I hate any food wrapped in plastic I'm sure it tastes different. Milk, tomato sauce, salad cream and Marmite to name a few. I've always bought things in glass when I get the chance, it's not been very often in recent years but I'm hoping things are changing.
 
Ordered two jigsaws from Amazon. A previous one had to send back due to missing pieces so now I count the pieces when we get them as may not start them straight away.

Counts the pieces of first one and have a total of 999. Tip them all back into a tub to recount and find one on the floor next to the wall. Recounts as not sure if one jumped away whilst tipping them.... still have 999. Big sigh going off here!
 
I'm annoying myself with this one, but I need a new tobacco pouch (again, sigh), the one I'd normally get is unavailable and I swear the horror stories that are Amazon reviews are enough to cause a migraine. And of course my dislike of leather pouches makes it that wee bit harder too :roll:

Can you sew a new one for yourself? You have improved your sewing skills and it might be nice to make one for yourself.

I would love to say yes but honestly I wouldn't even know where to start. Or what to make it from. I've never even sewn a bag :bal: it'd just be nice if you could trust Amazon reviews because the bad reviews are even less trustworthy than the good ones.
 
I found out today that Salford hospital have rejected the referral to see a neuropsychologist :( So that’s Airedale hospital, Preston hospital and now Salford all rejected the referrals and apparently they’re the only 3 hospitals I can be referred to so I am throughly fed up and stressed out. Will nobody help me with my funny turns and seizures :( I really don’t know what to do as I can’t afford to go private

I’m so sorry Claire. I can understand why you are so upset. Can you go back to your doctors for advice on moving forward?
 
My son has a really bad ingrown toe nail. He’s had it since last May! He’s had three lots of antibiotics, two lots of cream, paid £25 for someone to cut it out WITHOUT any pain killer! Paid £270 for a private podiatrist to cut it out and kill the nail bed. Still there worse than before. Now the podiatrist wants another £270 to do it again! Called the doctors seeking a referral to the hospital on the NHS to be told they won’t be interested in doing this. Finally I did manage
to get him to refer him to the community team. But he said the waiting list is huge ☹️
 
I have spoken to my GP today @weepweeps who says there isn't much more they can do but she is phoning me for another phone consultation next Wednesday to see where we go next. She's trying to speak with someone from Salford to at least find out the reason why it's been rejected.

I'm sorry about your son. The NHS is on it's knees and very over stretched :(
 
Not something that winds me up by my youngest's teacher wants to speak to me...not a clue why...Hopefully it's something quickly resolvable.
