Just right for a bit of volunteering...out and just about at mid-day. At a sheltered housing complex giving advice to ancient ones...not bad for somebody older than some of the ancient ones.

Lovely day to go to the doc's surgery and watch a nurse prodding my arm in a vain (vein?) attempt to extract some blood. Hopefully cutting down on all sorts of pleasurable food and drink over the past three months will have had the desired effect and levels of this that and the bloody (pun intended) will have returned to something like normal. Anyway, I'm having a few beers tonight in the hope that it's all been worthwhile.

Best of luck...is it beer no matter what the outcome is? Well I won't know the results today - the samples have to be sent off and I'll have a phone call on Monday if there's a problem. If I have no call after a couple of days I can assume that all is well - I can phone up the surgery to get the results, but the receptionists aren't very good at discussing test results, so I probably won't bother. Anyway, it'll be beer tonight no matter what.

Nice but cold. Just put out a line full of washing. There is zero wind though so not sure if they’ll dry but I am ever hopeful

Anyway, I'm having a few beers tonight in the hope that it's all been worthwhile. As predicted, the collection of a few millilitres of blood was a right faff. Four attempts made by two nurses (one of whom was described on her name badge as a phlebotomist, and so ought to have been able to deal with the situation) ) I could read the atmosphere in the room, so I made it clear that I wasn't going to be coming back next week and they had to keep prodding until hit the jackpot. 25 minutes it took. And it happens every single bloody time.
