Oh dear. One of the apple trees has been broken in the wind.

So......
My Doc wants another blood test doing. No probs, just to keep an eye on things.
They said I had to go into the surgery for a form then phone the clinic to arrange a date/time.
Just phoned the clinic only to be told they have not accepted forms for 18 months, it's all digital and the surgery should have messaged them.
So......I then had to wait for the clinic to phone the surgery and get them to send a digital form
Clinic has just phoned me back to say it's all done and we agreed a date/time.
My head hurts.

@Gunk - some university security teams provide decent D-locks at cost price. Queens in Belfast sold them for £10 in 2019/20. Might be worth him calling Student Services/Security team at his uni.

Bought a replacement today, this is a bit too nice so it will stay in Oxford and his old Gary Fisher will go back with him to university.

I have risen!

heavy frost out there.

We had light snow that got hit by the frost later on.

Sell it for 10 quid and he's got his days drug fix??

OK that makes sense although I thought drug fixes were more expensive than ten quid.

Im sure that at about lunchtime we had sleet mixed in with the rain.

It'd need to get a wee bit colder than it is for the current rain to turn to snow.

Apparently amphetamine is £5-10 per gram.
Ecstacy tabs £5-10 each.

Nice to see we have an expert on the subject on the forum 😂😀

Tablets I'm taking start at £10 each, generally no discount for bulk purchases.

One I was taking had a street value approaching £500, retail price at the time was £150 per tablet.
Another I was on I turned down a "name your price" offer. He pulled a wad of notes over an inch thick from his pocket. Possibly in the hope it'd make me more willing to sell.
After coming away from the doctors, it was straight to the police station.

It's bad enough being on them, without people asking to buy them from you.
