 It was drizzling but it wasnt that bad so we took Robbie to AH. 
The rain eased off so it wasnt a bad walk and it was good to let Robbie off his lead. 
Visit to drs for what I thought was a follow up blood test to the one 3 months ago to check cholesterol and thyroid level.  The rather off hand nurse said they dont check cholesterol till after  6 months which was annoying as I've been taking plant sterols and having the cholesterol lowering yoghurt drinks and I wanted to see if they were working. 
She took my blood pressure and said it was too high. I said it wasnt surprising as I was hot and thirsty and always anxious when I have blood tests but she said I should be on blood pressure tablets and went and got a prescription which I thought was a bit presumptuous.  Feeling a bit shellshocked especially as yesterday I took my own BP and it was normal as it usually is. Will chat to the dr tomorrow , meanwhile I will be extra careful about what I eat ( or dont eat) Downloaded a long list of BP lowering food .
