A HEALTH CHECK

My wife and daughter have been badgering me, since I turned 50, to have a health check. Although I do a fair amount of exercise, they think that I eat really badly; in particular, they think that I eat too many biscuits and similar rubbish.

And so this week, two and a half years late, I went and had one. They took a load of blood samples and sent them off to the lab for tests. Yesterday I got the results, and they were ok. Everything within the normal parameters, even my cholesterol values. And my blood pressure was 117 over 73, which is good.

So, I am allowed to keep eating biscuits. Which is a good thing, since I am about to have one with my evening cup of tea.
