Morning all from a hot muggy Coventry . I havnt got much planned for today other than being a dad taxi by picking her from work then later taking her to the railway station.
She going to some goth concert in London on her own , then getting a late train back to Northampton where she has room booked.
I know it’s silly but I do worry a little about it, but she is 27, sensible and she’s done it before .
It’s the still living at home that’s the trouble , if she wasn’t I would know about ( in great detail by the way, it’s a autistic thing 😀) As Mrs exlaser says to me it was easier for her and her parents, she just lied to them about where she was going . 😂😂😀

Triumph persuaded the surgery to do blood pressure and take blood at the same appointment.
Well their system sets them 10 mins apart!

But the doctor will have to study the results before you can have your annual review. About 3 weeks study?

This annual review seems to happen every other year in my diary.

Hedge Cutting at Powis Castle and Garden

"Soaring 30ft high, the tops of the yew hedges are trimmed by a member of the gardening team who is lifted in a cherry picker. It takes one gardener six weeks to work on the 300 year old hedges."

My notes show me to be due a recall for an over 75 check up sometime next year ( when I qualify ) Meanwhile the Surgery has called me in next month for a general check up. It must be about 10 years since I was called in for a check up, I recall the Nurse trying to get me to sign up for various initiatives as at the time the Practice got extra Points for each person who signed up to various " wellness " treatments / advice. These points added up to more money for the Practice so there was the incentive to get patients to sign up. All my numbers were fine so I didn't need / want any treatmennts.

Take it when you can get it. I've not had any sort of health check up. I would probably go for a basic weight, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc test if it was offered. I dare say I could ask for one but not sure I would get one anytime soon the way the health centre is going.

Misty but humid walk done. Do you think you get more heat intolerant the older you get? I've certainly struggled the last few summers. If the sun comes out and it gets really warm later I might just stick the pjs on and lie on top of the bed and watch the cycling.
