Another helping so soon?
Monday, August 9th, 2010 10:54 amI 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.
