High, hazy cloud is gradually thickening, so it’s expected to be more cloudy than sunny today. It’s 15°C with an expected high of 25° this afternoon, and the barometers are up a tad more at 1017/1025mB
Feeling very tired again today. If the surgery don’t get in touch, I think I’m just going to stop taking this stuff anyway. They virtually admitted when they prescribed it that it wasn’t really needed, but argued that it might help some number go a little bit further in the direction it’s “supposed” to go, even though it’s perfectly fine where it is

CBS, etc, and another cooler walk at 05:30. Builders arrived before we were back. Should be finished today.

Casting around for something to watch this evening, I remembered that Air Crash Investigation is on Prime (albeit under a different title) so I watched the episode about USAir Flight 1493 which landed on top of SkyWest Airlines Flight 5569 at LA International in 1991, due to a moment of forgetfulness on the part of an overworked flight controller
Later, I read more of One Two Three Four
Goodnight all

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans
Sunny out now; quite a pleasant-looking evening

Lunch was a bit of pork pie
I’ve been feeling extremely under the weather today, again. I thought it might be hay fever, but apparently the pollen count is very low at the moment. And that made me realise: two weeks ago, I started feeling really tired all the time, getting headaches, and other symptoms. Also, while I do get hay fever, it’s never been anywhere close to as bad as what’s been happening during the past two weeks. And what do you know: two weeks ago, they started me on an additional cholesterol-lowering drug! And it turns out that the list of “possible adverse effects” includes tiredness, headaches, and the like
I filled in the online form on the surgery website saying I wanted to discuss possible side effects of medication with a doctor or pharmacist, but I haven’t heard back yet. I hope it isn’t one of those that goes into the bitbucket; you can never be quite sure when or if you’ll get a response to those forms. If I haven’t heard from them by tomorrow lunchtime, I’ll have to give them a call

05:30 walk this morning and it was almost too cold to be out in just a t-shirt, although by the time we got back it had warmed up.
CBS, etc
Swelling in my hand has gone down a little.
The builders have put the second coat of paint on almost half the house. Plan is to be finished tomorrow.

It’s another slightly cloudy start that’ll rapidly clear up, with sunny skies expected all morning and the cloud building back up again this afternoon. It’s 14°C and aiming for 24°, with the barometers up a little more to 1016/1024mB
I suspect the hay fever is going to continue to be annoying; I think I’ll leave the windows shut for now
