there are nice ppl around.
It was a glorious morning this morning. So obviously I sat in the house and put off shopping until there was a freezing rain this afternoon. Sigh. In my defence my phone didn’t warn me…
so when I went out to walk to the other end of town it was getting dark, blowing unpleasantly and the rain was, as I mentioned, a bit on the cold side. By the time I reached the doctors’ surgery my jeans were soaked through and my hat was sodden. Not pleasant. So it was a little disappointing to discover that my prescription for gaviscon hadn’t been sorted. The receptionist looked at me, looked at the prescription, and offered to go in search of a doctor to sort it out. Which was incredibly kind of her – she said she understood completely why I wanted it…
Once that was sorted I headed back outside to discover at least it had stopped raining. Bonus. The fabric and hobby shop didn’t have what I wanted though, which was a little annoying, but I guess I’ll just have to cope.
The Works didn’t excite me either – I could quite see why their remnant books had been reduced to 99p. Next stop Boots to get the prescription filled – I dropped it off, then headed for another couple of gift shops.
Back to Boots, to be told they didn’t have peppermint gaviscon. I said I really didn’t care what flavour it was, so they sorted out aniseed. And the pharmacist remarked that she had lived on it when pregnant, then looked at me and realised why I don’t care what flavour it is 😉 She agreed with me that prescribing not quite enough to get through two days at the prescribed rate is a bit ridiculous and asked if I had the repeat script. Leave it here, she said, we drop it to the doctors, and I’ll put a note in suggesting they up the amount a bit. And we pick it up and you can pop in after the New Year and pick up the next lot.
I do like helpful ppl. And that’s two helpful medical professionals in one day. Three if you count the midwife who put the prescription in in the first place this morning 😀
And eventually I wended my way home, to make pizza and chivvy children. My achievement of the day? I’ve learnt how to make icord, and wound a ball of recycled sari silk from a skein so that I can make my creative challenge bracelet. Plenty of time for you to join in if you fancy challenging yourself 😉
