The Unfairness of Life, Chapter 117

My shower stopped working last week. As did I. Apparently one of us infected the other, for the problem is exactly the same: high pressure leading to sudden cessation of normal function.

Solution for shower: a new Pressure Relief Device, costing £8.10, to be installed by the very wonderful nolley on Saturday.

Solution for me: little pink pills that plunge me into a slough (or possibly Slough) of despond within an hour of taking them. (Not helped, this morning, by a trackside fire at Nunhead which meant no Victoria trains. Solution simple: change at London Bridge for Battersea Park. Nevertheless, was Tearful and Pathetic. Has anyone else had nasty moodswings as a result of beta-blockers? Am on them for at least the next two weeks: will be no fun at all.)

These pills are an emergency stop-gap: hopefully I'll get to change prescription once blood tests, heart trace etc have been done, but meanwhile hopefully they'll keep me functioning. Not fun though!

Not sure what is happening Autumn equinox yet, but Greenwich sounds a good place to be ...

Will also be in London 6th-8th August - thought wouldn't have time for anything but may now have! My mobile number is in ladymoonray's journal in the picnic post in case you haven't got the most recent one.
