.. when you get diagnosed with mild high blood pressure (ie, not terribly worrying, not enough to cause a stroke or anything) and the Doc sends you for blood tests... fine... and they take FIVE separate vials of blood after consulting a whole ream of paper!

Jeez, do I look like THAT much of a potential goner?

On a vaguely related note... I'm dying to see the new Shaun The Sheep movie... I'm not being silly, LOVE those Aardman Animation flicks like Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run... and Shaun The Sheep is one of the funniest shows on TV, honestly... trailer for the movie here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6qLSo9RsaE

But I don't have kids... just HOW does a man of my age go to a childrens movie on his own without, lets face it, looking like some creepy kiddie-fiddler?   :o

 ;D

Shaun the Sheep is bloody great. I go with my niece who is still at school. Her parents don't like animations, so ever since she was tiny we go together. I've seen em all. It's fantastic, I think the world of her and after a tough week at work, sitting together stuffing our faces with nachos (cheese dips obviously) and as much choc as we can carry alongside the biggest cokes you can buy in the cinema is f*****g brilliant!!

We are on soon to watch the Minion Movie next, I'm still perturbed that she went to see SpongeBob without me a month ago, but she has said she will get the DVD when it comes out and we will watch it together....outrageous going without me!!!!!  :)

Shaun The Sheep is, indeed, a hugely enjoyable movie... also looking forward to seeing MINIONS...

Are there symptoms to high blood pressure, or did it show up in tests ?

Shush, no more so that your blood pressure (which we talked about the other night).  Just came up randomly after a related symptom that turned out to be an allergy thing.
