Could I wait a bit? Sure. Thirty minutes later I was talking to a GP, ten more minutes later\i was picking up a prescription for blood pressure meds at my local pharmacy. Another ten minutes and I'd taken the first dose. (2/2\)

I had to leave the house. At least it was far too early and so not too hot. 🥵

(My current listening is due to Heaven 17 playing what was basically the BEF 12" mix of Come Live With Me at Rewind last weekend.)
