It was literally just like children hitting things for about five minutes or something.

We're cycling to the doctor.

We're cycling to the doctor.

We're feeling good.

And...

It was just a checkup, really.

So nothing too bad.

Feeling quite well, actually, since I've tried to improve my eating habits this year.

At the docs, though, she is going to take some blood just to check on my cholesterol and things like that, which have been looking a little bit shit.

So she is Polish, and so is the assistant nurse.

And I go through after our consultation, we say goodbye and I go through to the other room to get my blood taken by the nurse.

And then I hear the nurse calling through in Polish to the doctor saying something I don't understand.

And then the doctor comes back in with a big smile and sort of leans against the wall and just chats to me.

And she says, so you don't like needles.

Yes, you're not very good with needles.

And I realized that the nurse has called through.

Oh, I think this is the guy who's terrified of needles.

He might want to come through and distract him so he doesn't shit himself.

So she's come through to like distract me.

And she says, you know, let's just have a chat and look at me and don't worry about.
