Bloody hell it’s been hot today.
That may explain why this happened:
I was allowed to leave work at 3pm because I had an eye test booked. I’ve been having a few headaches and I’ve noticed that I get easily blinded by oncoming headlights when I’m driving at night, so I thought I’d better get my sight checked; especially as I’ve never had it done before and I’m now 28.
As with most things work-related, I ended up leaving ten minutes late, so I was in a bit of a rush and bombing TheLoveMachine along like a lime green tornado. In the back of my mind I had this naggly, niggling voice going “Something’s not right. Something is definitely wrong about all this” but I tried to ignore it, thinking it was just nerves about the eye test, or that silly “did I leave the door unlocked?” anxiety that we all get sometimes.
Anyway, one minute after the time of my appointment I dumped the car in a car park and sprinted round to the front door….. at which point I realised I was standing outside my dentists.
“Ah, feck it” I said rather loudly.
The poor opticians (who were 21 miles North of me) must have been wondering why the hell I hadn’t shown up, while the dental receptionist looked at me like I was a lunatic.
And no matter how much I asked, they refused to give me an eye test.
No wonder the NHS is in trouble...
