Your chances of getting a home visit from doc may improve with coming winter. Too cold and wet to play golf.

when I was a child we had Dr Binnie who always came out to the house if we were sick. Always immaculate in dark blue suit, cufflinks, white shirt and regimental tie.
He was in the Chindits during the War. He didn't need to type your symptoms into Google in order to diagnose you, either.
eventually you won't be able to see the vet at all. They'll have got rid of them so they can find the money to pay all the accountants they need to employ to manage the ever increasing budget.
You'll be able to go and see one. He won't be able to cure you but he will be able to offer you a wide variety of investment products.
Latest 'something to play with' bike.
A rare 21" small frame Raleigh Record racer dating from July 1977 according to the serial number and made in Nottingham. Came without wheels but it's a nicely made proper British bike.
The shifters on the handlebar stem are worth what I paid for it. Scruffy and needs minor repairs, nothing I can't sort and my spare 700C wheels fit and should work OK. Paint is very battered and will need some serious airbrush work to tidy up, but I have the right colours. I like the stay loop round the seatpost/crosstube.
Probably very boring to most of you, but there you go! :D

Don't tell me you didn't see that one coming!!
That was the bike every kid dreamed of in 77 and 78 here in the U.S. but your parents had to really love you to open their wallet and dig that deep .
Only one kid had one in my middle school and it was the envy of the campus.
I also had a Raleigh but it was a Sprite 27 (Had 27 inch wheels for the US market) It was a S.A. 3 speed internal hub. add W 20 3N1 oil once a month.
I am probably the last guy for miles that knows how to take that hub apart and service it. ( I replaced the balls with G10's 5100 steel and greased with the Chevron VHP Red . Just keep the grease away from the pawls or she will hang up. The oil in the hub will take care of them.
Those old 3 speeds where bullet proof transportation, As a teen everything was far away from where I lived so a 2 or 3 hour ride was normal.
I rode 8 miles to school and back every day an (1975-Raliegh-Sprite-27) replaced a chain every year. On week ends I would ride sun up to sun down to Sacramento to go to the Big Record Store. In those days I never even had to lock it up.
It had a little leather bag , I kept a spare shift cable ,brake cable ,spare tube and a Whit worth flat multi wrench, I never once had to call for a ride home. They don't make them like that anymore.
I put this one together, later on , it's brown not green like my old one, but there aren't a lot of Raliegh 3 speeds left in California.
I went on family bike rides with it for awhile then sold it.
