Hmm. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's Monday morning. Called the GP practice. First after the message the call auto-terminated. Tried a second time. "You are #19 in the queue. Would you like to activate call back?"
YES! I certainly would. 🤣 Importantly I made the call. This is a big step. Getting motivated again has been tough. The driver is my PT. She is first a longstanding good friend. I know exactly what, and how, she will say to me. So I better shape if I want to be able to look her in the eye.
Anyway. Got the call back. It basically went like this.
Me"I was in an RTC a few weeks ago and my knee is still very swollen. I'd like to see a doctor "
Reception: "Are you in any pain, any difficulty breathing or are you bleeding?"

Tough call. I would avoid Boston. It would be my only option.
You put yourself through it you know. £50 chocolates. Cake shop. Bread shop. This is all too much for a mere mortal to deal with. 🤣
Just testing my self discipline.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
And the showers have started

I spent the first 9 months of my life in Boston - can't remember a single moment of it.

This week's weather forecast:
The real feel (second row) temperatures are very low.
The 9° tomorrow is at 10pm and on Saturday is at 7am.
Astonishing for August, especially as the planet is burning.

The rain is due to get here around midnight.
The dog has been walked and we collected another kilo of blackberries from the bushes over the fields. They are delicious at the moment.
I'm surprised that more people aren't over ther collecting free food, especially as the schools are off. It would give the youngsters something to do, and might be a bit educational at the same time.
Or am I hoping for a bit much that kids, or their parents might want to get out in the fresh air and do something constructive with their time.
Thank you. Trying to eat more and drink (alcohol) less. Plus I think the vitamin B12 may be kicking in.

Bloods done, don't feel so good today as I did yesterday.
After my gas boiler service on Friday I have just noticed my CO2 meter has gone AWOL it was on top of the boiler - got in touch and they are looking into it.........
We have no rain for the whole week, but anything can change in the next half hour.
