Weā€™ll have fennel and asparagus risotto with loads of Grana Padano. Went to a poorly attended Lent lunch, today, and had a good chat with an older, retired nurse. We trained at the same hospital and, for all there were twenty years between us, there was enough of an overlap to be able to share memories. She said, ā€˜we had a good trainingā€™ to which I replied, ā€˜it was a Baptism of Fireā€™ and then she remembered :joy:.

If baptisms did involve fire, I would enjoy them a great deal more.

Zoroastrianism? Donā€™t talk to me about Zoroastrianism! (simmering resentment from being royally done over by the Atar and Aban cards in a recent game of Imperium remains undissipated )

Also, nope

Donā€™t tell me about simmering resentment :wink: The resentment I feel about being placed in charge of a ward of kamakaze neurologically damaged patients on night duty in my first year of training will never leave me! Sadly. Nobody was hurt in the resurrection of this memory.

I am a neurological patient who tries to be nice to nurses and not bother them

I hope this is what nice patients doā€¦

The patients I cared for on Neuro obs in their cubicles were unfailingly nice, Twellsy. They just seemed to regard cotsides as trivial obstructions to their freedom and maybe they were! However - all of those accident formsā€¦My second-in-command was a 5 months pregnant pupil nurse who really didnā€™t want to be thereā€¦No - it was dreadful and Iā€™m pleased to report that I didnā€™t kill anyone (on purpose or otherwise).

Neurologists are aginn chemical coshes as it can mask symptoms

We have taken Titi to her specialist for a beak trim and clawdicure

She objected causing me who was holding her a mere seven injuries needing plasters and numerous bruises

She got the vet too

She just wasnā€™t happy with the humans chopping bits off her extremities

I canā€™t blame her

Even as I drip blud all over the vetā€™s surgery

Titi is clever and smug with her trimmed beak and elegant claws

My hands are black and blue

The vet resorted to putting a muzzle on her!

Please do not give our pterodactyl ideas!

She has enough of her own

The dear kind gentle built like a brick outhouse vet with hands like hams reckons Titi knows him now and REMEMBERS indignities he has done to her previously

This means she gets her revenge in first before he has trimmed her beak and rendered it slightly less a weapon of mass destruction

She is faster than most parrots he reckons and accurate

And lets the world know just how the vet is murdering her to death!
