Spread your wings and fly away

Be Warned, it is very, very Serious!!!!!

Bird Flu has hit Britain again!

What were you expecting to see lol

I have a headache, a culmination of being asked the same question a hundred and one different ways, of dealing with noisy children who seem to be hyper after the holidays and sitting in front of a computer screen to make some lettering for a display.

I am tired though, think it may have to do with some tablets I took earlier for a pain in my calf muscle. I tried ringing the doctor.

"Hello can I help you?"

"Yes please, I want to make an appointment with my doctor"

"I am sorry there are no appointments available until late next week, is it urgent?"

"Yes, I am in a lot of pain, I need to see the doctor, any one will do"

"Sorry we don't have any appointments until late next week"

"none sooner?"

"no sorry"

"So why did you ask if it was urgent then?"

"Because the only appointments are the emergency ones"

"Can I have an emergency appointment then please?"

"Yes, Friday 18th at 9.45"

"Sorry I want an emergency appointment"

"Yes that's the next available one. Course you could always phone tomorrow at 8.45 and we will try and squeeze you in"

"WHat are the chances of me seeing anyone if I do that?"

"Oh not for tomorrow but maybe next week sometime"

"Ok don't bother, I will let you know when I have had my leg amputated. In the meantime can I book an appointment for February 21st next year in case I have a heart attack?"

"are you being serious?"

"yes"

"I am sorry but we don't make appointments that far ahead"

"Oh just thought I had better make an advance booking in case I am ill that is all, seems to be the only way to get to see a doctor!"

"So you don't want to come in next week then?"

Needless to say I declined, what is the point. I have however, had some tablets from a friend which really helped and as a result spoken to the pharmacist at the local Lloyds chemist, who gave me some very strong painkillers which seemed to have helped!

In other news, came home from work to find eldest son dangling from fence taking a photo of this muntjack deer that was visiting the field by the side of the house:

I know it isn't very clear, but it is a big field and poor child ends up balancing to take the picture lol

Have a good evening
