tp, if the service provided by your GP is as unsatisfactory as you say and you feel that your Doctor is ignoring the symptoms that you describe, I would certainly be inclined to register with the Polish clinic that you say provides a far superior service. Why not give them a call tomorrow? You have nothing to lose and your health is important.

Grump. Better half is in Vienna. Grump. Not here in Köln (of course, or I wouldn't be here would I, sorry but there are priorities after all). Not even in Stuttgart where nattering costs nothing thanks to the wonders of the Zehnsation Partnerkarte. In another country where nattering is expensive. And where the grumping hotel phone doesn't grumping work, so she can grumping hear me but I can't hear her. Which is no grumping use. Grump.

So I'm afraid you lot are stuck with my waffle again. For a change. Roll Eyes

I don't want to panic unduly. If my test was so bad my doctor would have told me.  That means that I just have to wait and let the nature take its corse.
I am drinking a lot of tea, I try to eat well. I do find it difficult because I have to look after the house, my students are back, there is this performance that I was not expecting. I had previous commitment at the end of this month.
However, it is hard to say No if you know this will upset your friends.
I am just plain stupid, that is all. I am sure you understood it already.

However, if I will still have no improvement in a day or two I will go. Noone really knows what that Polish clininc is. My friend hopes it is better because she is so appalled at what she considers a bad medical practice with me.

I don't understand why it is that when I have plenty of food in the house, I'm not hungry in the evening but when the stocks are running low, my stomach starts rumbling when I go to bed. This doesn't seem to reflect how much I've had to eat that evening or the time at which I've eaten. Does the very fact that I can't have toast before I go to bed mean that I crave it more?

I'm obviously food-obsessed this morning.

Today went OK until this evening. Had a fairly productive afternoon (as you can see from the Currently Creating thread) and I've nearly finished the final section of this piece (which is just as well because the horn player's going to get anxious if he doesn't get it soon), but I feel like I've been running around all day achieving Great Things when the furthest I've been is to the shops over the road. I'm going to have to go to bed soon because I can barely think to type. Doctor tomorrow.

Remember your Grandma Milly, hh.  Wink

Who's your horn player? There are precious few around who are comfortable with contemporary music, in my experience. One exception, though, is Stephen Stirling (who's played my solo horn piece a number of times). I can put you in touch, if you want to PM me.

Is that Hunding, martle? I heard its premiere (at least I think it was the premiere, with Endymion in the Purcell Room), but I didn't really know your music - or you! - at the time.

Haven't heard it since, although I'm sure I recorded that concert from Hear & Now ... Might dig it out now, actually! Smiley

It is, tins. And it was premiered at that Endymion concert celebrating Anthony Gilbert's 70th birthday (for which it was written).  Smiley

What on earth do you think it means, auto my lad?

It's the name of the grumpy and violent woodsman in Valkure. I had to try very hard to persuade Tony Gilbert that it wasn't a musical portrait of him!

Did you use the Leitmotif martle?
That reminds me of long walks in Edzell singing chunks of the Ring to students in the hope that they might identify them correctly.
Quite looking forward to doing it again this year now.

I obviously pushed it yesterday because I've only just woken up and feel rather rubbish.
Never mind.
