Appointments

I tried to book a dental appointment and an eye-test today. The dentist is not available until December 20th, so I've arranged to see them in the New Year. I suspect this is going to cost me an arm and a leg as I need a thorough check-up of my teeth in readiness for going to Nepal. My eye test is also likely to result in an amended prescription - furthermore I need high UV protection for my trip, so will probably need new frames and lenses as well - more expense. At least the new glasses will last me for a couple of years or more though. No wonder older people moan at the lack of Government support. I remember when eye tests and dental check-ups were free!
