15th August, 2025: the Republic of the Congo.
I’m on drugs.
Or medications, I should say.
Including one called Mounjaro: it’s useful for controlling type two diabetes, and as a way of controlling my weight.

I noticed this BBC News piece float past, this morning: telling us Eli Lilly, the drug’s makers, ar planning on putting the price up.
As far as I can tell, that won’t affect its cost to the National Health Service, nor to those of us who get it free on the NHS.
It will go up for those who’ve had the drug prescribed privately.
Will that affect the drug’s availability for NHS patients?
I don’t know.
But having switched medications, before, because of a shortage … ?
I’m not convinced …
