Bejesus - it's cold out there. Being a gentleman, I put a short sleeved shirt on for my visit to the doctors this morning - makes it easier for the nurse to extract blood and check my blood pressure. Regretted it as soon as I opened my front door - the wind has died down a lot since yesterday, but by 'eck it hasn't half increased in the chill factor.
At least the first part of my medical check-ups is now complete, samples have been supplied and others taken. Now I await the pleasure (?) of getting the results when I see the appropriate speciality nurses - daiabetic next week, but there's a queue to see the Coronary Heart Disease lassie - she's fully booked and I was told to ring after Christmas to see if any appointments are then available
