Just been to see a new physio, was driving me CRAZY not knowing where I've seen him before. Have I seen him at a different clinic? Did we once meet in the gym? Aaargh. Just worked out that he played Alfred in Downton Abbey.

convinced husband to go to GP today, signs the bursitis on his elbow was infected. They squeezed him in, referred him to Bath hospital, and 5 hours later he'd had blood test results, x-ray and antibiotics. I know the NHS is on its knees but when it works it really works. The staff were fantastic.

That special feeling when you've painstakingly written an email in French requesting a vet appointment on your next trip, treating it as a challenge and using Google Translate as little as possible, and French vet just replies in English. I can practically hear the eye roll, merci mon ami.
