[rec!]

So I was proper impressed by cliniQ when I swung by this evening as a walk-in patient after a sexual health screening. Actually finding the clinic was a bit confusing - the numbering on Dean Street didn't make a great deal of sense to me and I was initially directed to the first floor where I had a rather confusing conversation with a receptionist before making it to the second floor - but once I was there they were great. I was seen quickly - I think I was in and out inside half an hour - and people were calming and lovely and really just brilliant, and there was step-free access throughout.

( Details! )

It was really really good; I was, as I say, impressed (enough to want to give them some of my time); strongly strongly recommended if you're ever in London (you don't have to be a London resident) and they're relevant to you.

(And: Indeligig last night was fab and I'm looking forward to seeing them again at the end of the month, and I am getting to rec a lot of my favourite music to people; I'm very excited about Yuletide signups, though inconveniently I am again more interested in writing than requesting; I got a phonecall this morning from the GIC, where I apparently have an appointment in mid November (!!!) (and it's with Barrett who is Known Douchey about genderqueer people, but hey); I have finished Ancillary Sword and slept on it and am percolating Thorts gently; I managed to find a close-enough approximation to a thing I was willing to eat for lunch, and have some leftover cake; I am engaging in light therapy via the magic of the tiny bulb that lives on my desk; I got some driving rain and also some sunshine; I survived navigating an unfamiliar bus with only a small anxiety spike; I successfully advocated for a friendperson at a medical appt, in which we did not get All The Things but we certainly got some of the things and a soonappointment to follow up.)
