Heading back to Penang for a far to short visit, a wedding and CNY. Sadly family circumstances sent us down the wrong leg of the trousers of time so it is no longer our home.

Back today for another eye injection after a 10 week gap... And retina is leaking. This is after the drug change. Next one in 8 weeks 🤞🏼 can hit on a working gap .

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

Caught up with my brother yesterday, his politics always have leant to the right of mine and our sister's I'd often suspected he'd have been sympathetic to Reform Ltd so I avoid politics.

Email from the Docs to book a blood test at the local hub. OK can do that & everything linked in my NHS App, why do I need to print a paper copy of the tests the Dr has requested to take with me when the whole rest of the process is electronic 🤷 ?
Seems weird and prone to me forgetting on the day.
