Thursday morning. I got up as usual and was in the process of taking Alfie out as I normally do. I had my jacket on, because even though it's late July, it can be quite chilly first thing in the morning. I had everything ready, with Alfie on his lead, but as soon as I got outside with him I realised that it was raining. Not particularly heavily, but enough to get a bit of a soaking, so we ended up returning indoors, much to Alfie's displeasure. I wasn't risking a soaking, of either him or myself. I needed to ring Ashfield Medical Centre to get a repeat of the Diazepam, as I had but one final tablet to take tonight. I could take Alfie out once I had rung the surgery.
I managed to get though to Ashfield Medical Centre in record time. I don't think there was any sort of queue even though it was gone 8.35 when I eventually got through, but I was told that today was protected time after 1p.m. so a doctor was unlikely to ring me back to arrange an appointment, but that my repeat prescription would be sent directly to Lloyd's pharmacy at Sainsbury's, so I should be able to collect it from there tomorrow.
Something amused me this morning, after the slight rainfall we had earlier. A squirrel came into the garden, hopping off the fence and approaching the bird feeding station. It gave a glance at the house, almost as if it was expecting to find a camera set up to take it's photograph. It then attempted to climb the central pole that supports the feeding station, but because the thing was wet it couldn't get a grip and began to slide down! Looked very amusing and this may be the answer to the problem of keeping these little blighters off the feeder, put something greasy on it and they can't climb up. More likely, just slide down.
