The Day Hospital revisited

At the day hospital, the first person to approach was a girl with a badge saying "Student Nurse" .



Now you fans of ER may remember (I think it was during the very first episode) when Dr Green kicked backwards his wheeled chair from the desk in order to look in amazement at what was approaching,



It was Noah Wyle in a lab coat so starched and white it was amazing, and also obvious that it was his first day.



So I asked the Student Nurse if it were her first day out from the university. Oh, yes it was. I was almost blinded by the whiteness of her top, and I bet the starch doesn't last too long.



Nice girl, and she was being sent round to interview all us old ladies. Good practice.



I also saw the physio again in the afternoon, where we did some balance assessment. She was a bit 'hyper', explained by the fact that she had just bought her first house. It is in the next village along from the one where TBSITW lives.



I have learned that there can be gaps when nothing is happening, so I take a book. I think I am going to sound like a bit of an intellectual snob here, so the book is carefully selected. It is a historical novel, but could at a glance be mistaken for a historical romance. It is about Lady Jane Grey. I am ashamed to say that I didn't really study history at school, sticking to maths and the sciences as well as the obligatory English, French and geography.



I am finding the Tudor times fascinating and have been learning about all King Henry VIIIths wives

This morning I got a telephone call to say that the Day Hospital was cancelled as the roads were so bad, with more snow forecast.

I have really made use of the unexpected free time and have been de-cluttering my filing cabinet. I need to get the contents of a 3-drawer one down to fit a 1-drawer one, so masses of shredding has been going on. I have lost track of the number of times I have emptied the shredder and taken the contents to the paper bin in the refuse room.

I think that is me beat now, back to the books and the jigsaw.
