I really didn't need yesterday's hassles. A freezing cold office made me very jumpy. The trip to the doctor's surgery made things worse. Sitting for nearly an hour (despite having an appointment) was bad enough, but there were two things in the surgery which really did my head in:

• An early teenager playing with the annoying kiddies' toy
• The ambient music, which was a session group singing hits from the sixties

Never before have such apparently cheerful things depressed me so much!

Tip of the day: Keep copies of everything - I have!
