A surprising amount of patients either forgot to arrive or arrived late
One of the people who didn't come was someone we thought had died last year - we were surprised that she made an appointment at all
A surprising amount of Italian patients, one of them had a tiny baby, another used to be a concert cellist. When the Berlin wall came down the musician market became flooded with cellists - the Berliners undercut the Italians and my new friend was unable to find enough work
The free car park is less than five minutes walk away, despite this a surprising number of people borrow someone else's disabled badge so they can park just that little bit closer
Between patients I managed to darn a thousand bite-holes in the moth-eaten jumper

I am surprised (and very pleased to hear) that the moth-bitten jumper could be repaired!
ReplyDeletePS: Wonderful pix!
Some would say it was not repairable - the Brain Doctor would come out between patients, look at the me darning and say 'for Christ's sake put the bloody thing in the bin '
DeleteI hope there is enough parking for the cellos?

The waiting room doubles as a parking place for buggies, bikes and cellos-and-anything-else people-want-to-bring
DeleteIt sounds like the people of Bristol don't quite understand the purpose of the disabled badge.
ReplyDeleteI must learn to darn, we, too, have had an infestation of moths, and all I've managed to do is cover jumpers in badges which then end up in the washing machine.
don't get me started on Bristol parkers. I have come to love mendings - I think you would too
Deletewe need to send you some cedar blocks for y'all's sweater (jumper) drawer, sweet pea! xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful idea Sav xxxooo
DeleteNot very soothing as I suspect all my physicians think I died. Also about the cellists. And those buggy stringed instruments. I just don't know Lulu. I don't think you have a Christmess spirit in your heart.
