Had an apointment at the medical centre today so shunned the smoke and worked ineffectually from home.

Efforts to avoid hysterical white coat syndrome involved listening to relaxation tape and being sent white light from New York.

Delighted that blood pressure is now more or less normal -- and I don't need pills. Tranquil nurse called Jill was excellent. She implied she was famous for her calming personality so I asked her for her photo to carry as a dark ages charm. This was refused. But the experience was so much nicer than BUPA anxiety factory and of the low weasels that worked there.

Otherwise I worked steadily towards my goal of becoming most boring man on South Coast of England.
