Echo Three to Echo Seven

Having spent the last week developing a progressively worsening throat infection I'm now on hold to my GP in the vain hope of getting an appointment today. Their hold music is a monophonic collection of classical classics but played as though it was a doorbell arrangement at half the original tempo. Not only this but rarely are more than four or fives notes played before the pre-recorded overly long "We're all busy please continue to hold" type message kicks in (also seemingly spoken at a decreased rate to make it easier to understand but just coming across as patronising.)

I'm sat here in the outfit I have adopted for the weekend. This includes but is not limited to a baseball cap and hoodie with a five foot square fleece blanket folded length ways and worn like a scarf. This leaves me looking like I'm about to hop on the back of a Tauntaun and brave the blizzards of Hoth to hunt down an overdue Luke.
