Surgery all day at Wood Green Library. I’ve not yet put in place a regular surgery schedule – need some time to asses demand, where people want to come to, etc. But there are already so many requests for surgery appointments I have simply booked every Friday for the next few weeks for all day surgeries – tough going, but I don’t want to leave people waiting too long.

So this is the equivalent of three surgeries but all on one day. My sister comes along to help me with the notes and because I have been advised not to do it on my own.

As ever – all human life in its frailty is there – and it reminds me how difficult life can be if you are not coping. Immigration, housing and schooling are the main issues. There are about thirteen booked appointments. A couple of extra people show up and three don’t show – so it all works out. But come home to phone messages for lots more. It’ll be another long day next Friday!
