More on 'choose' and 'book'

Following the conversation here ... yesterday I had a phone message from the appointments secretary. I have just spoken to her.

AS: "Dr H has asked if you'd like to come in earlier."
T: "For sure, if you have a cancellation or something ..."
AS: "Monday 10am?"

I am not sure whether this is Good or not. (They asked me to come in sooner? Really soon? Despite their first standard appointment being in June? what did my test results show?)

But it does get it over with.

Also, Monday-morning lie-in yay!

Not only does the new branch of Ping-Pong (just outside the Festival Hall) do novel and delicious cocktails (this is basically bubble tea with alcohol), they have furniture that lends itself to novel and delicious photography, even with a cameraphone ...

That table does need constant polishing, but it's worth it.


EDIT: Have just impressed colleague (lactose-intolerant, wife has lupus-type syndrome) mightily by pointing him at the Ping Pong website with its allergy / food problem checklist.

I had better not have a wheat problem, though.
