Another greige day and an early morning soaking for me and Lola.

Greige weather and chores/ domestic admin does not a wholly exciting day make.

A series of rearranged appointments gave me a schedule that a Kardashian might be proud of. Kardashians exist in the periphery of my knowledge base. I am sure they are many interesting things but High Maintenance Women would be #1 in my fact list about then.

Yesterday all my chores required me to be entirely present.

Mindful of my speed awareness course* last week I knew that only optimal time management could  enable me to be in the right place at the right time for the three time sensitive appointments of the day.

The first one was already on rocky ground after the early morning soaking which required a change of clothes.

*By identifying the cause of my speeding as squeezing too much into a day.

Let me be honest, a manicure, lung function tests and a haircut all within a 6 mile radius are not exactly the stuff of great jeopardy. But I really dislike being late or missing appointments.

I imagine a Kardashian might have a driver and a PA who could mitigate the rush involved with a cluster of appointments.

Mine just clustered, and until last week and a hundred pounds fine, I wouldn’t have worried over much.

As it happened all went like clockwork.

But I was somewhat late for the lung function test. 50 years late!

Digital record keeping and Digital native medical staff  have everything actually at their finger tips.

Analogue records are a little more archaic.

In asking who prescribed my Asthma inhaler you might expect a fairly swift response. But I was trawling the names of a lifetime of G.P’s.

The selection of timescale tick boxes also didn’t stretch to 50 years .

Most importantly though I didn’t speed to catch up.

But there is something in common with my asthma diagnosis and last weeks Speed awareness course. It was also 50 years since I have actually read the Highway code.

I have a bit of catching up to do. Within the speed limit of course.
