An Unusual Morning

Yesterday I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to attend a medical appointment in Harley Street and expecting it to be just a formal meeting, I didn’t exactly jump up and down with joy.

However, on arrival, I was greeted by a lovely man who directed me to the lounge/reception area which was utterly beautiful and whilst I waited I sat down with my book and nestled into the comfy armchair.

On meeting the eye specialist, I didn’t expect for any talk other than about my eyes but after half an hour he already knew my life story, how me and my ex broke up, why I chose my course at uni, my dream job and my hobbies.

Then talk about my other half began and he suggested we should get engaged, I totally agreed and then we moved on to the Catholic Church..don’t ask how.

Within 40 minutes I had contact details for his brother, who was in my field of work and the opportunity to work for him was on the cards.

After putting drops in my eye to enlarge my pupils, he let me have a 20 minute break to grab some breakfast as we had spoken about how I didn’t have time in the morning for any and I headed off to a cute little cafe around the corner for a cream cheese bagel.

Now imagine me, in the shop window of a cafe with a wooly hat and sunglasses on because the light was killing my eyes, I couldn’t see my phone screen and my own fingers looked blurry..I looked a state and I’m sure people thought I was on some sort of drug!

After heading back to finish my eye examination, I was left without a phone, as I couldn’t see the screen which meant I had no map to get me back to the tube.

Que me walking around in circles, covering my eyes and shouting on the phone to my mum

‘It’s so bright!! Make it stop!’

I found the tube eventually….

My early morning rise was worth it for my chat with Mr. Starr, he sort of made my day!
