isn’t that typical – we’ve not seen a watering can for ages and then two come wandering down the road attached to two shaggy looking chaps carrying plants.
these chaps looked really depressed as they sloped down the road, but they were quite symetrical with their watercans and plants.
i asked if i could take a photo and unfortunately (for us) they smiled.
xmas lunch number 3 (the best so far in terms of singing and general jolliness)
here i am in the glasses (none of them mine)
this is a very poor photo, but still manages to catch the ‘essence of harry’.
andy went to eurodisney or whatever it’s called in the modern world, and caught some great french signs for us:
visitin alan meant going in to hospital which is a place which i really don’t like. having both our children in this hospital has added some a cheery angle to the place, but it still has too many (quite literally) painful memories and i always feel very dizzy in there.
they are doing lots of building work in there and i got lost for at least 30 minutes wandering around the place. i was definately in places i shouldn’t have been during some of that time (by accident). And what’s more, no one i spoke to knew where the ward i wanted was.
i kept passing signs like this one, which is a ‘stairs directory’. i like how you have to leave the hospital to get to ‘all other depts’. i also read ‘inpatient’ as ‘impatient’ which sounded much better.
absolute classic is having the elderly care outpatients and falls clinic on the top floor up three flights of stairs !
on the way out of the hospital (which i left through a half open emergency exit door as i couldn’t find the real way out) i spotted these crutches and one of those things a drip hangs on. someone managed to escape.
