9th June, 2026.
It’s Tuesday, again: doesn’t it come ’round, quickly?
As do visitors.
I’m up early, today: as I’m expecting an engineer from my electricity provider: who will hopefully be able to install a new smart meter.
And transfer the balance from the old account, to the new.
Here’s hoping … !

I had an appointment, yesterday afternoon: with my dentist’s trainee hygienist.
Up until yesterday?
As I’m on benefits, and the hygienists in question are trainees, these had been provided for free.
Unfortunately?
I felt decidedly unwell, heading for the bus-stop: and extremely woozy by the time I got to the surgery.
Woozy enough to immediately cancel the appointment, and rebook.
As far as I can tell?
I had a mixture of a bout of low blood pressure: and what’s known as a ‘hypo’, a dose of low blood sugar.
And really didn’t think sticking around would be a good idea.
So?
I cancelled, and re-arranged for August, the next available date.
Unfortunately, and because of changes?
This means I’m facing a charge for the next appointment: of £41·50.
Something that the receptionist told me is something the university had insisted on: in order to cover their costs.
I can appreciate that.
Especially as, from what I know, the students have to cover their own travel costs.
I’m assuming the university helps with that.
So?
A charge makes sense.
I just wish it didn’t exist: or was cheaper.
That forty-one pounds is steep, on my income.
