Well, that's nice, whatever that means in metric.

I on the other hand has just had my heart CT-scanned yesterday.

I have been invited to take part in trials where they look for early
signs of heart disease in type 2 diabetics, and medicate (or demedicate)
according to findings.
Given that my lungs [for now one hopes] are so shit I can't bike to
bigtown, and they do their thing on the weekend, I was off from home at
11:00 and back a 16:30 (or half four in casual british speak (or half
five in casual danish) for those who can't use proper time). The bus
service here is not very good.
