No, No, You Couldn't Have

Clare woke me this morning in order to phone the doctors, in fact using her sternest 'nurses voice' she made the call, we had to settle for a 'Doctors Call Back' this afternoon.
After breakfast I painted the upstairs corridor and put up the additional surf board holder so that all four boards are now hung.
We the set off to do our list of chores;
Penryn cycles to collect my bike
Screwfix to pick up work boots and a coverall for Joshua, (He's working for Grandpa over half term)
B & Q for wood chisels to start on a couple of projects
Sainsbury's where following omelettes and coffee Clare and I did the bare minimum shopping.

When we got home the doctor phoned, I explained about the letter etc, she explained that she hadn't seen the letter but would look into it and call me
back.
Couple of hours later she called back, it would appear that the off hand, indifferent, smart arsed receptionist of Monday had "misplaced" the letter and in fact no one had seen its contents.
But moving with the Lightening Speed for which the NHS is famous, (apologies to Clare, Jacqui & Penny), I'm to have blood tests a week tomorrow and a referral to the Opthalmist at some time in the 'near future'.

You couldn't make it up!!
