This week has been tricky to get the weather conditions perfect for the days I can fish. I have a second appointment with a consultant about my tooth that needs removing, and the saga continues and will no doubt cost me a few pounds. Going private is like buying the best reel once, instead of buying cheap and buying twice. I don’t want to wait for months with the NHS and then end up going back and forth to get it fixed, but there’s a limit on how much I can spend. This appointment is all set for Friday morning, which means I can’t fish Thursday night, which happens to be one of the best nights this week. I’m desperate to do two consecutive nights this week, as next week may well have to be two separate nights, due to a couple of family things.
