A significant Clinic 1a Visit today for pathology results and then an evening Boat Race gig with Wiggly.

Three Premiership footballers and their friends (Bruce Grobbelaar and his girlfriend, Hans Segers, John Fashanu and a Malaysian businessman) were arrested and held overnight on match-fixing charges.
A report has accused a third of hospital consultants of not performing their NHS contractual hours fully because of their private practice work; with those most involved with private practice doing the least.
I had my own experience of hospital medicine this morning with my latest visit to Clinic 1a. I had to wait for my appointment with Dr Sarah ("show us your Dick, then") Edwards.
I have given her that nickname in recognition of the same legend accompanying a cartoon on her tea mug! I suppose you have to have a sense of humour to work in that job.
Her further information back from the pathology lab was that “Mild Atypia" was consistent with the wart virus and so we have to assume I have this and be treated accordingly.
Rather than have the liquid nitrogen treatment, she prescribed some cream, use once or twice weekly, to stop the cell division that comprises the warty patches. I will still use the other cream between times but a lot less than before as we both agreed that the inflammation is a lot better.
Home by car and to hear from Wiggly on the car phone and to give her the news which she took well. I also briefed Di once I got back and rendezvoused with her in St Neots. She was taking her car in for service, and I was able to run her back.
It was supposed to be ready in mid-afternoon, but Hunts Motors let us down and I had to go and bawl them out later.
Phone calls from Percy, Alicia and Mark today in which I learnt that Stuart is still being difficult over the FOCUS, but Angela has been talking to Mark and he has various assurances to put to her tonight which I hope will make her feel happier.
Better news from Percy and Sally, as several candidate positions now seem to have been filled and a final branch approval meeting on Friday night should at least see us with a full slate with any last-minute arrivals only strengthening our position.
Work on the planning proposals for Cambridge Street and Heronshaw and plans to stay in Norfolk over the weekend and into Monday.
Two walks with Sam today, some tea with the family and then my journal and other chores before out late in the evening, interviewing candidates.
In fact, I collected Wiggly and took her to "The Boat Race" in Cambridge where we expected to see a traditional jazz band but found it was a hard rock band John Ackray.
This ageing cult rocker gave us a good, flamboyant, passionate and humourous performance which was enjoyed by a large crowd of supporters, lead by long-haired "head bangers" who jigged and sang along.
The multiple rock and heavy metal guitar work was a feature.
