Day 616

Always used to feel the 16th was a Christmas milestone.

To the doctor's. He said the headaches were either eyestrain or 'stress' headaches: he confirmed my impression that unemployment is stressful. Cashed my Giro on the way back.

Went into town, put down £20 at the optician's towards £40 for new glasses, so much for 'safe in our hands'.

Went to Masson's where we used to buy RPG stuff, found it had been demolished. That's how much the RPG craze has passed. Came back and finished B2. Total characters killed: 72.

T phoned and invited me up for the New Year but I declined because of the drug dealers and suchlike they mix with, not that I said so of course.
