Curates Egg

That describes the day, up at 0500 to get Joshua off on his school trip two hours later Sam was up and away. I took myself off to Specsavers for my eye test and new glasses, or so I thought.
After a prolonged examination and a few aahs and oohs and I was despatched to my doctors with a letter marked, "Urgent". Apparently I have "a bleed " behind my right eye.
Fortunately the nonchalant receptionist accepted the letter, placed it on the pile and said; "the doctor will see it today". It not me!'
I did ring later but it's hard to shake a feeling of apathy, GP's get the blame but the receptionists fully deserve their reputation as 'jobsworths'.

So I came home and threw myself into clearing the shed and garden a good afternoons work.
