Another week dawns..

Don't the mondays come round quickly, it always seem that there are two in a week. it looks like being a busy week this week, since little Rusty has to go to the vets tomorrow for a blood test, and I have to go for one on Wednesday. Rusty is on thyroid tablets, and every few months she has her blood done to make sure the levels are right. We take her in the morning early and we generally get the results that night..talk about good service!
Mine takes about two weeks.
We had a bit of a shock this morning when we came back from our shopping. the post had arrived, and both VT and myself had received letters from our GPs surgery to notify us that our address had fallen outside the area covered by the practice!! So we have to find a new GP, and our names will be removed from the practice register within 30 days!!!! i am furious actually. I have been with this practice all of my life..64 years, and we are now being cast aside!! disgraceful, and no real reason given either. I was with this surgery when it was Dr Brenner who delivered me, Dr Holland who moved the surgery to its present location, Dr Stone who took over from him when he retired, and the present Dr's Milford and Aylward. Not to mention the interim locum stage when there wasn't a resident Dr at all but a series of locums.!!
Now we are being told to go... Is this the NHS where we have choices?? At least it isn't Gordon Browns fault! There is a Surgery in Hightown, but that is beside the point really, where is the loyalty in all of this..64 years is a long time to be with one practice, doesn't that count for anything. Don't know what can be done about it either.
Took my money to Sainsburys this morning, and called in at Aldi on the way home. I wanted some of their baking paper which is really excellent, so we had a bit of a look round too. Got a few things that caught our eyes, but wouldn't do a big shop there, they simply don't have the variety.
Tonight we are having:Mozarella and pesto escalope,
Mixed vegetables
Mushroom sauce and sliced fried potatoes. Done in fry light.
