Day 1070

Went into town for fortnightly supplies; pumped up this woman's tyre when she asked me. 'You'll be repaid for that good deed' she said as I hurried away embarrassedly.

Went to the doctor: he told me (inter alia) that what I had was almost certainly not serious and that it was not 'downhill all the way to the wooden box'. Straight talker, Dr. Crowden. Told him I wouldn't look up the side-effects of the latest prescription this time as I would probably start imagining symptoms. He agreed.

The Community Service Volunteers stuff arrived - they say they take anyone, but they want two references. So much for them. Hope Liam Davis replies soon (and positively) about my MSc reference.
