I phoned the Doctors Surgery just before lunch, to speak to the receptionist I spoke to yesterday about getting everything finalised for Oxford on Thursday.

Today didn’t get off to the best start as I had an unplanned close inspection of the floor this morning. No damage done and by far the least painful of the three fall’s so far. I, of course, was not being that careful and it was totally my own fault, well the fact no one […]
