The practice had everything monday morning, but nothing had been done until I arrived today ( thursday).  Chemist could do nothing, but they did know that they had a stock of the tablets.

Anyway with prompt, the practice quickly produced a signed perscription for any chemist, and sent me off.  Downstairs they prioritised me because I said I would wait, and I had the package within about ten minutes.

Wow.  It can move when it wants to.  My worries were over.  But if it had been delayed till friday, it might have been a mess.  Normal service would have been next Tuesday.

I suppose I would normally have checked on Tuesday and  Wednesday, but this time they were occupied and busy days, and it was not unreasonable to think the prescription would have got to the chemist by thursday morning, or at least authorised. 

Probably easter is the worst time of year.  Only christmas day on thursday would be equivalent, and that is only once in say six years.
