I want to inject a little more personality, as well, since the best blogs invite you into a writer&#8217;s world better than I have managed here to date. I still want to keep a firm focus on Thamesmead rather than my personal life, but this should hopefully make things a little more interesting along the way.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to aim for an update once a week, even if it&#8217;s not really got anything much of consequence to it.<\/p>\n<p>This week I&#8217;ve been trawling Ebay and Amazon in a hunt for interesting items of relevance to Thamesmead. I&#8217;ve picked up a few gems along the way since I started doing this months ago, so I&#8217;ll try to post details of a few items sometime soon.<\/p>\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.39 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:5px;\">\n\n <!-- WP QUADS - Quick AdSense Reloaded v.2.0.39 Content AdSense async --> \n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" >\nvar quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;\nif ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024  && quads_screen_width < 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 768  && quads_screen_width < 1024 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width < 768 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }\n<\/script>\n\n <!-- end WP QUADS --> \n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;ve done is to pay a visit to Lakeside Medical Practice to get my shoulder looked at as I&#8217;ve been getting some strain-like pain in it for a few months. I moved to Thamesmead when this surgery was already up and running and although it can be tricky to get an appointment sometimes, I have found it seems to be run very well. I like all the doctors and nurses I have seen, who have without exception treated me as an intelligent adult and listened properly to my complaints. I&#8217;ve had friendly conversations with them, good treatment, and good follow-up care. In this case I&#8217;m coming back to see a different doctor to have my shoulder injected, which will then be followed up on and I will be referred for physiotherapy and an MRI if necessary. Although working the appointments around my working day is tricky, I can&#8217;t really fault the staff on anything else &#8211; although I was a bit concerned that they weren&#8217;t going to open the doors in time for my 7am appointment when I turned up at quarter to to see that the &#8220;opening hours&#8221; listed an 8am start. I think that&#8217;s for the appointment bookings, though, and I was let in just in the nick of time to see Dr Milstein.<\/p>\n<p>Something I really ought to get sorted out is registering with a local dentist. \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following in the footsteps of The Thamesmead Grump (http:\/\/thethamesmeadgrump.blogspot.co.uk\/), I&#8217;ve decided that I will probably do a better job of posting to this blog if I make it a regular thing, rather than posting when I feel I have time. &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/about-the-area\/regularity-and-lakeside-medical\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,11,16],"tags":[73,116,138,213],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.hawkida.net\/thamesmead\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
