COLD DARK ROOM

[meech008]

Awesome!!!
If we used your urgent care, you would know my 11yr old daughter's name!!
I'm afraid she lives in the x-ray room!! She's such an athlete and always gets hurt!
I told her next time a bone better be sticking out before we go back in!!

Hahaha!! That was me growing up!!
It's actually why I decided to go back and get my degree in it. I love seeing my repeat patients. I don't love that they have to be there but it's nice to have some familiarity

And me...

And my son. His regular trips, usually rugby related, earned him a special questioning clearly aimed at checking for child abuse on one occasion. One of the few times I hadn't taken him still in his kit and plastered in mud. As soon as the doctor got the details of what happened in the match from him, all was well. I understand; they have to check.

I am full of admiration for people like you Michelle. It's a tough job.

I'm just back from the Farmer's Market. Some good winter veg, some of which is now simmering as soup.

And more calorific were the goodies from a Ukranian stallholder who got us to taste all her delicious homemade foods.

So here's Russian Liver Cake that will accompany the soup for lunch

And here's her Honey Cake that I wasn't going to get, but JoesDad insisted

There was also a very tasty beetroot salad that we'll get another time. It's not really salad weather here right now!

All looks lovely.
As you may have noticed, i'm back.
Zacariah had a call and had to go, so i'm now sulking.

It's always a happy occasion when it turns out to be something like your situation though. I love my sports kids and I wish we had more of them. Not in the urgent care of course but in general.
And thank you! It's tougher than I imagined it could be some days but I truly love what I do.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hello, friends! Did I miss anything?

I had nightmares.
I only just got over the last time.
You were lucky.

Oh no! I'm sorry friend

Good afternoon all.
A murky grey and very cold day here - still no snow for us
Never mind I more week to half term

I have to go shopping for Lola now - wish he would do his own!
Hopefully the dandies and other delicious weeds will be back soon.
I've managed to grow a lovely patch of clover that I pulled up from out conservation area at school last autumn.
I just left it in water for a while, then when it started sprouting more leaves I planted it in a tray of soil and it has really spread.
Next move will be for it to planted in Lola's outside enclosure when hopefully it will really thrive and spread even more.

No avaricious thoughts here about your liver cake Linda, doesn't appeal to me at all - but I hope you enjoy it!

Good afternoon, Lyn.
Tidgy has done her own shopping in the past, but it takes her about 2 weeks and by the time she gets back half the stuff is off.
But at least she's willing.
Roll on half term!

Settling down to even more rugby: France v Scotland.

I really want Scotland to win. They've had a bad time in recent years and need to get back to winning ways

Good game, again, but two late penalties sealed it for the French.
France 22 - 16 Scotland.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning everyone! Didn't get out of work until 2300 last night. Terrible terrible terrible day and outcome. I am SO glad to see the sunny personalities of the cold dark roomers today

Sounds awful.
Good morning,, Michelle.
Here is a picture of my personality.

It was a somewhat physical match even by rugby standards. I have visions of Scotland's medical team assessing the players to see if between them they can assemble a few complete players from unbroken body parts.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh no! I'm sorry friend

Just kidding.
Anyway I love nightmares, though I almost never have them.
For me, it's like watching a horror film.

Yes, it was a very physical affair.
OUCHY! in fact.

 

[Moozillion]

So everyone is sleeping ?

Yep...

We slept in, now off to lunch and groceries.

Good afternoon, Bea.
Have fun and speak later.

Good afternoon roomies.
I hope you have had a good Sunday. Mine was very exhausting ...... ... done nothing.
That is very exhausting sometimes.

It is.
Good evening, Sabine.
I've been busy with visitors and Tidgy and am now sorting out my corks.

Mine is basically just starting. It's too cold! I'm dilly dallying.

My daughter had her grandkids for the week-end and so early this a.m. I took over a couple of Valentine Day cards for them, then came home and quickly fed, watered, turned on lights and opened tortoise doors. And now I'm parked in front of the computer waiting for the sun to warm up the outside so I can go out and get some outside work done. My grass trimmer won't start if it's too cold (good excuse, huh?). Br-r-r it's cold in here. It's right at that in between time of year when it's not cold enough to make a fire in the wood stove, but too darned cold to be comfortable. I'm wrapped up in a blanket and have my jacket on.

Anyone feeling particularly avaricious today?

Good morning, Yvonne.
Nice and warm here, though it's now 6.30 pm.
Did you get me a Valentine's card, too ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nobody has scored a point yet!
We're such a lovely lot.
