Hi Steve

Thank goodness you are back on their books again, it’s just as well you chased it up.

By coincidence the NHS called my UK mobile number yesterday asking why I had not kept an appointment the day before. They said the appointment had been sent in April, but I know it never arrived. Not to worry, I have made a new appointment to be seen on 20 June for a scan. I have not a clue where the April appointment they sent ended up.

Weather here today is grey and cool.
