Hi all good afternoon .
Woke up this morning finally to pitter, patter, raindrops.
Stood out in the rain in my nighty :joy:
It didnt last long the rain but what a relief.

Yesterday Amazing film The Odyssey was shown on the new epic screen the only way to see it . I really enjoyed it. 10 out of 10 .

Apart from my rain dance early this morning I’ve not done much , popped into town for a bit of shopping .
Oh yes iced doughnuts I had to buy them had to. Yummy,

Stay cool xxx

Congratulations to you both Graham . Sending Happy anniversary wishes :heart:

Do you mean the cartoons Anise?
Those slam door trains could be quite dangerous, people would open the doors while the carriages were still moving at stations during the rush hour, you would get clobbered if you weren’t careful!

Hi
To add to the list of medical adventures by members.

I am now in the Extra care Unit of the Acute medical unit in hospital.

You know things are not great when you are in the bay next to the nurses station

Opposite me there is a bunch of doctors and nurses with a Crash Cart dealing patient with a very ill person who has just been shocked and a robotic American voice advising on the process.

Next to me is a man having emergency blood transfusions.

Everything can be heard and there are gaps in the curtains.

I am sat on my bed drinking a coffee.

A nurse has apologized for the noise etc only to be told by another not to worry about me I have been on the receiving end of the crash cart and am used to chaos

It is somewhat surreal not to be the patient being worked on

The nurses may not feel the need to worry about you, Swimmy, but you are always our first concern! Immediate care is chaotic, and having to listen to emergency procedures is a strain on anyone.

Remember the song “You can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd, but you can be happy if you’ve a mind to” by Roger Miller? You keep that tune in your head, enjoy being able to drink your coffee and know we are pulling for your recovery from this latest episode. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hang in there Swimmy, you’re a remarkably brave person, I hope you get the best treatment you need and deserve, we’re all rooting for you.

It just brings back fond memories of travelling on overcrowded (London) transport!
