Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good morning Guardians, I set off early to the market, calling in the docs on the way, as they had sent me a message saying I had to go in for an appointment after my chest X-Ray on Monday. They had already made a 10.30am appointment at the practice up the road, and when I asked if this could be changed to the afternoon, I was told that it was urgent. When I asked if it was serious, I was told it was. As I came out of the docs, I bumped into Matt, and told him about my appointment. I also rang Tool Man to let him know I'd be late. Fortunately, I'm not a worrier, so I walked down to the cafe, and had coffee and a Danish pastry, before catching a bus up to the other surgery. I was a bit early, so I had a coffee in the yuppie cafe nearby, which I note has now eschewed their stupid 'card only' policy, and is actively encouraging cash payments 🙄 I sipped the mediocre coffee while chasing any form of internet signal, which is almost unknown in that area, and then went round the corner to the doctors. After a wait in the old-fashioned waiting room, listening to my fellow patients decrying the terrible service and overall poor state of the NHS, my name was called, and I went in to see the young doctor I had seen last week. Since I have an appointment with him next week, he didn't seem to know why I was there at first, but having checked my notes, told me the X-Ray had picked up evidence of a slight infection, and he recommended a short course of antibiotics :rolleyes:

I messaged Matt and Tool Man, and caught the bus into town, intending to get an early lunch at the West African food stall, but since it wasn't yet open, I went directly to the Tool Stall. Tool Man and Boring Ray were there, but there was no sign of Gravel, who has injured his shoulder unfortunately, something he first did a couple of years ago. Tool Man was eager to hear about my trip to London, though he's a very bad listener! Nobber Al and Ex-Para Steve were across the way at Nobber Al's record stall. Al was wearing shorts and a ball cap, and with his boyish features, and skinny legs, he looked a bit like he going to an AC/DC-themed fancy dress party. He took the abuse me and Tool Man gave him good-naturedly ;)

Tool Man slipped off to get a pork pie, and I walked down to see Golden Gordon and Robert the Badge. We had few visitors today, but Otley Mick, who we rarely see these days, passed by for a bit. Poor Mick, who, like Boring Ray, has perennial bad luck has just been diagnosed with a relatively minor heart-related condition, which may cost him both his driving license, and his job as a bus-driver :(

I spotted a couple of old friends passing through the market, both of whom stopped to chat. The second one, Danny, chatted to Tool Man about motorbikes for a while, and I suspect we may see him again :thumbsup:

The increasingly superslim Slimline Scott also called in for the first time in a few weeks. It was nice to see him, but since he is a persistently boring conversationalist, I decided it was time to depart, bidding everyone farewell until next week :thumbsup:
