Good morning everyone, it’s a clear sky at the moment and about 13° due rise later.
Yesterday I had to confirm my resident’s card for here and the process seems different for every single person. DH did his at the beginning of December, came home, said, “That’s done, very simple.” No bits of paper given to him. I went, there was the usual long wait but I was eventually seen , details taken and my eyes bio-metrically photographed, and photo and fingerprints done. Basically the same process as filling in a passport application. But then I was given an A4 sheet of paper with a list of instructions to further the process on the internet in a couple of days.
We know a young woman who should be able to help us take it on to the next step but she is not back at work until next week, she has said she’ll contact us then. My husband is still adamant that he wasn’t given further instructions and I must admit it was only because, forewarned, I asked, that I was told about carrying on using internet. Very frustrating afternoon.
This afternoon I have an appointment to see a different dermatologist about my skin condition. There was great difficulty taking my fingerprints yesterday, shows what three years of using a steroid cream will do, despite me scrupulously washing the ointment off my fingers after use.
Thank you everyone whose sent good wishes for my husband. It really helps. He seems completely recovered but we are still seeing our doctor as soon as possible.
Much love to everyone else with health and other worries. I didnt dare start reading todays posts or I’d have been writing this at lunch time!
