Text from my GP's surgery: Our phone lines aren't currently working. We are waiting for the engineers to call

There's going to be a lot of people saying: "So how are you texting me?"

That first text was reassuringly followed by: The engineers can't get here until noon tomorrow.

And of course this is the first time in months I've actually needed to phone them.
