When we reach a certain age in the UK we can have a flu jab free on the NHS , I was booked for mid morning at my local GP surgery so I wanted to check some boot cut jeans out and possibly go on to the out of town store to have a second look at a nice pair of brown ,knee high , heeled leather boots and also find a full bodied strapless bra .
This morning was chilly with some rain so I decided on a long sleeved blouse and navy cardigan with my slim fit jeans and black leather knee high boots . I squeezed the jeans purchase in first and liked then so much I asked the SA to remove the tags so I could wear them out the store , at least now I have a choice of wearing the boots outside my jeans or inside with the boot cuts .
I parked up and entered the surgery , I know I'm out pretty well now but the whole place was heaving with people , I managed to squeeze in the waiting room it was full and lets not forget all the other people were senior citizens and yes I did get some prolonged stares . I had to own this one so I struck up conversation with the guy next to me about the need for flu jabs . Eventually my full male name was called so when I entered the the room with two nurses doing the injections I asked if it was possible to use my shortened version on the records , one nurse immediately called me Terri so we chatted and had a little fun while I was given the flu jab in my left arm and then a pneumonia one in my right arm .
On leaving I handed in a questionaire at reception (which had been circulated as we waited) , again I checked to see if my name could be changed , luckily for me because I had chosen a derivative of my male name I didn't need other documents .
Yes I did go on to visit the out of town store and yes I did buy the boots , they didn't have the bra but I did find a lovely suspender belt in cream and at last a retail outlet that stock Charnos 24/7 stockings so I bought a couple of pairs . They are double packs in three sizes and four shades so I bought natural tan and barely black .
So it ended up another lovely morning and despite the quatity of people not only at the surgery but also the shopping centre I felt really relaxed and comfortable .
