[livejournal.com profile] arkady got her blood sucked this morning and I went with her. They used to have the phlebotomy centre at Whipps Cross, but now it's been farmed out to clinics across the borough. Thankfully they appear to have merely moved the competent bloodsuckers out to the clinics, rather than just dropping the load on the clinics to save a penny or two. We went to the one near St. James's Street Station. It's a depressing late '60s-early '70s once-modern socialist NHS clinic, with a prominent sign warning to secure one's pram as pram thieves are known to operate in the area. That impressed me. There wasn't actually a queue for blood tests, and the phlebotomist was both very nice with a good manner for patients and ruthlessly efficient. So the patient is treated like a personally processed cheese slice.

In a further salubrious sign, there's a Cash Converters opposite the station. (Yes, Australians, the same chain, except there's no sane local reason for Douglas Mawson in the logo.) Most of the stock is DJ equipment (no hifi turntables, annoyingly) and riceboy car fittings. I had not known until today that they actually make LED valve stems, let alone sell them on plastic bubble cards. Arkady ogled the musical instruments — there's a very nice Fender acoustic in the window for £139 if you're looking.

We also stopped by the pet shop, where they have a lovely fat rat. The guy said he'd sold him and the owner had brought him back a few months later. He's albino and really big and fat (probably about a kilo); Arkady's guess is he's about eighteen months old. Too stroppy to put with other rats, and definitely one for an experienced rat owner (Arkady was so wishing she could take him on — "I could make him cuddly in a week"), but if you're looking for a new lone rat ...

Today is also delivery day. [livejournal.com profile] redcountess's new K750i and a pile of linen from John Lewis arrived early, and Liz's G4 showed up just now. I shall drink my coffee, post this and we'll have a play with it. I think the only gadget left is a new camera for me.

This evening we shall be helping [livejournal.com profile] allezbleu with her extreme age.

[livejournal.com profile] redcountess just called me into the lounge, telling me to be very quiet.

Mother Nature in action. )

Liz's new G4 800MHz Quicksilver is unbelievably shiny and looks like it was left by aliens with vastly superior design sense. I shall be departing to [livejournal.com profile] allezbleu's in about an hour, sadly minus my tired and ill darlings.
