Man about garden

Met Tori as planned, had a good lunch at Dojo in Cambridge, and enjoyed - if that's the right word - a spot of shopping later in the day. Good to see her as always.

Went in to see the nurse at the local surgery for my blood test - only to find out that nobody there had told her about the setup and she couldn't perform the test without a doctor's authorisation. So I have yet another appointment, this time next Wednesday, to talk to the doctor, and then get the test done afterwards. Results will, they say, be back in 48 hours but this being the NHS I am placing little store in that statement. Annoying, but hopefully not fatal.

Went round to my Mum's today to do some odd jobs around her house, like helping her out with the Japanese version of a PowerPoint presentation (she's off on a British Council headteachers' jaunt to Tokyo in the autumn), trimming her hedge and helping her pour some concrete for a new step on her porch. Construction and yard work - this is what I am reduced to.
