It's Mum's birthday today; born in 1921, she would have been 104 if she had held on. The sky here is overcast and the day is generally gloomy, in keeping with the occasion. It's also Nera's birthday which is an interesting coincidence.
I have another medical appointment this afternoon, well, pseudo-medical: it's with the Audiologist to have my hearing aids checked. He/she will ask me how they're going and I will say 'Fine'. He/she will ask whether I need any new batteries and I will say, 'No, we're fine.' In reality, I rarely wear them; in fact, only when I am on my walk when I use the wifi function to connect to my phone so I can listen to podcasts, but I won't inform him/her of that.
In fact, I want to ask him/her whether I can upgrade them to a better version which doesn't use batteries. Almost daily I get notifications on Facebook that elderly Australians are entitled to flash new models without batteries but they're from different providers. I don't know whether Specsavers (our supplier) has the same deal. Hearing aids are not their core business (the clue is in the name) but I can only ask.
