As Claire was meeting some of her friends, I went with her to Bluewater and met Wayne.
Had a pizza and good chat putting the world to rights lol.

Week 308 – January 28th – Eye Test
Thankfully no issues with the car for this appointment.
First eye test free because of being over 60 but still had to pay for the extra tests.
Everything went well and no new lenses were required, so not an expensive start to the year.

Week 307 – January 21st – Always good to have a dig
Always good to have a dig at teams. During the Under 19 World Cup, got a posting during the England v Scotland match.

Week 305 – January 8th – Health Insight survey
On this month survey, I could finally say that I have an appointment regarding my SVT, though still not great communication regarding the issue.

Week 305 – January 5th – Collarbone appointment
I was quite surprised to get this appointment so soon, as I only contact the NHS last week.
After seeing the consultant twice, once before the X-Ray, and then after, he was happy that fracture was healing OK, though he did say that it may never fully heal.
He would only be concerned if I was still in pain in September, a year after the injury happened. They said it was most likely the muscle just rebuilding itself back.
Snow at the hospital. Wasn’t expecting the snow, thankfully no impact on the journey.

Week 304 – January 2nd – Not the way I wanted to start the new year
When I woke up this morning, my throat was burning and it was very sore. Identical to back in June 2025.
From that experience, I went to our pharmacy, I knew the regular chemist was off, so saw there stand in.
Once again, my blog came to my recuse and knowledge of the world and cricket, as it took quite a while to convince this person to give me the same antibiotics that I had last year.
In the end they prescribed me the phenoxymethylpenicillin potassium antibiotics.

Week 304 – January 1st – New Year Day
As it was dry first day of the year and we wanted to get outside, we went to Greenwich Park and had a walk around the park and Greenwich and of course a Costa coffee.
1st day of 2026 and in London, so a picture of The Shard. Start how we mean to go on.
