Hot and bothered

I know most people adore hot weather and sunshine but I'm not one of them.

Now I'd appreciate the weather if I was on a nice sandy beach, or in the countryside sitting at a riverside pub, or if I had air conditioning.

But I'm stuck in grimy, sweaty, humid London, with no air-con apart from windows which, if opened. let in all the grim and noise of the A4 & M4 flyover. It's also hot & sweaty on public transport, and why the hell buses are blasting hot air into the bus God only knows. The only place to stand for complete coolness on the way to and from work is near the chiller cabinets at Sainsburys.

And now I'm bother cos i got a letter from my GP about my smear test when I had back in March saying they've found inflmmatory cells and they want me to go back in 6 months for another one. Now is that 6 months after they did the test or 6 months after I get this letter.

The letter says in bold "there is no need to panic"! Ha! That's after they tell you about the results!

And yes, I am worried. Mainly because my mother had cancer of the vulva a few years back, and whilst she made a full recovery I could be at risk.

Oh well, better book a holiday out of the grime and try and take my mind off it.

"Don't panic!" I ask you.
