Another helping so soon?

I have to go to Whetstone this afternoon for a visit to the Quack, having spectacularly failed to find¹ a local doctor in Ilford. The downside is that it is a bit of a trek up there and back before going to Ilford, the upside is that I can nip into Waitrose and buy some chilli oil!

I really ought to get my act together; the Whetstone practice won’t keep me on their books forever and I do need my blood pressure meddies. I say need; I feel exactly the same whether I take them or not, but then that’s hypertension for you, I suppose: until something goes sproing in the back of your head, you feel fine.

I noticed at the weekend, that I am coming close to being able to take my belt in another notch – I’m not quite there yet, without making my eyes bulge, but a couple of months ago it wouldn’t even have been possible to contemplate making them pop at that setting, so progress – albeit slow – is being made. If I do manage that extra notch, I shall only have one more to go on that belt before I have to find a smaller belt…

Let’s not count the chickens just yet, though. If I am not careful, anything I’ve lost over the summer will waltz back on to my giblets in the winter.



¹I suppose “failed to try to find” would be more accurate. I had a cursory look on the web for local surgeries to try registering with and then ran out of steam.

Well done on the belt notches! But yeah, the season of pie and dumplings is looming.
