There was a turf war between Thoracic and Oncology. He got admitted that time on Thoracic. I was shocked by how little concern for the patient rated in this consultant’s priorities. Or indeed respect for a relative’s questions. ‘He smoked, he’s going to die. What do you want me to say?’. I knew the prognosis. My questions were not _about_ that. Grrrr Gus xxx ---

My ‘like’ is an acknowledgement of the extra pain inflicted upon you both. It’s no consolation, but had I been there alongside you, I’d have flayed the flesh off the bugga who caused you to remember him. Soo xxxx ---

> [@soobee](#): > > I’d have flayed the flesh off the bugga who caused you to remember him Thank you, Soo: I did the next best thing. Apart from our ‘confrontation’, I set Connie (McMillan nurse, Irish, tiny, terrifying and utterly brilliant) on him. Oh, and also one of the oncology doctors, lovely Greek woman who had taken a great shine to Himself, came visiting on a social basis (also for shortbread, it’s hungry work doctoring) and I had a word with her, too. Had him out of there in three days, which was a Result. ---

hoho, competition, eh, dere Spadger? I am not proud - well, I am actually - that when a two-decades-plus younger than me, 6’5" male challenged me to a drinking contest, the other lads were varying on a theme of ‘No, mate, step away, this won’t go well for you. In fact, we don’t even want to be there, so badly will it go for you’, sort of thing. It didn’t come to it . It couldn’t. I was his 'line manager" and he was a foolish young man to whom I had a duty of care. Delightful, but foolish. ---

Thank you, dear Chatelaine. It is, and I am getting frighteningly angry about it again. And stuff. So I might retire a bit else I do someone or myself a mischief. Very much love and copious hugs to you, me dear. Gus xxx not that anyone has said wrong things, not that at all. Just that The Fury comes upon one - and conveniently so has Cat. Who needs sorting out, and that I can do ---

Wet. Wet & grey & 100% cloud cover. Rained hard overnight & the garden is damp … which is good as the bin men have bin and I can start again emptying old decrepit pots and plant afresh. I’ve done dozens but both green wheelie thingies were ram full. Now for the rest. Mrs. Shanks doesn’t like to throw things away … surpisingly this includes weeds !! I’m serious. So pots with nice display plants in become overgrown. I finally persuaded her this is madness and I need to strike while the iron is hot. I will “lose” a few of the, easily 500, empty plastic plant pots we’ve collected over the years while I’m at it. Apparently “they might come in useful !”. So a nice day playing with dirt us planned. ---

Overheard chez Fishly-Dunnock this morning: Him: You _can’t_ wear a puke-brown jacket. Her: That’s not puke-brown, it’s bronze. Him: _I_’ve thrown up that colour. Her: That is _your_ problem. ---

I might have been Snyff It’s what it is going with which will elevate the status, I’m sure… Think I got away with that … Am having a very pale day here, & would look washed out in anything not a ‘proper’ dense colour , in fact, I may just settle for washed out… Carinthia.xx ---
