19th April, 2024: Sierra Leone.
Yay!
It’s Friday!
Which means that I’ve had another does of
Trulicity: the once-a-week injection that’s part of my treatment for diabetes.
Hopefully?
It’s keeping the sugar levels down: I’ll find that out after my next set of blood tests.

While we’re on the subject of health … ?
The UK has what’s called ‘
fit notes’: medical certificates that tell an employer — or the benefits office — that you’re ill.
They usually have to be signed off by your GP.
Apparently?
Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, is due to announce changes to the certificate: in a speech, tonight.
Part of his plans?
Includes moving responsibility for assessing fitness to work, from GPs to “specialist work and health professionals”.
I have to admit, I don’t like the sound of that.
What, or who, are “specialist work and health professionals”?
They don’t sound like medical doctors.

Just as a final thought … ?
It seems that Dune Pt 2 is now available to rent or buy from at least two streaming services.
I’ll have to see if I can get a copy: I wouldn’t mind seeing that!
My only observation?
Is that both Apple, and Amazon, are charging a fortune for copies.
