Foiled again!

Aside

Just when I’ve got may face on, the phone rings and my appointment is cancelled yet again and is now with another strange doctor in a week’s time. The doctor with the unpronounceable name is ill again. Ah well – I’ve had the problem since June – I don’t suppose another week will matter.

Ms Scarlet said...: I hope you get to see a Doctor soon. Meanwhile I've been looking at the lovely pics. There's nothing better than a woodburning stove on a blustery day... and lots of truffles to scoff.
Not sure about the wooden bear? It looks like an ambitious project.

I note from an earlier post that you are writing a book. Is it an autobiograhy by any chance?

Having read some of your archives you seem to have led a very interesting life, and if this book is a complilation of those brief glimpses into your life I shall look forward to reading it.; 11:53 AM

Pat said...: Mei del: not the best day for us the east wind roars through the old windows.

Scarlet : I have seen lots of his carvings and this is not one of his best. Maybe an off day.

John: yes you are right on all counts. Almost finished and then all I need is a publisher:)

Zinnia: thanks and I hope you are better now.

Savannah: even now I am downstairs bound to finish the champagne to which I may just add some cassis. Although MTL will have a fit:); 4:38 PM
Anonymous said...: I had a doctor once with a strange sounding name. He was quite good, but I had a job understanding his english. The last time I phoned to make an follow-up appointment the receptionist told me he had been arrested. "Good God!" I said "What for?". She replied that his qualifications were forged and he had obtained a position at that practice on false pretences!

It could only happen to me!

Anyway Pat, I hope the shoulder gets better soon, I really do.

I noted Johns comment. I would like to read that book when it comes out. Then I can put it on the bookshelf next to Zoe's, Petite Anglaise's, and that "Girl With a One-track Mind", Abbey Lee.

Re your comment on my blog, I'm not counting either. *snigger*; 5:28 PM

kenju said...: How irritating!! Whether or not it can wait depends on the problem. It is best to get things looked after sooner, rather than later. Don't let this happen again - tell them NO!!; 10:12 PM
Pat said...: Keith: thanks for your wishes. I'd be happy to be on your shelf with such company.

Naomi; you may well wonder. I would make a fuss if it were urgent, but I'll probably just end up with pain killers.

Judy: I promise I won't be put off again. It was a really nasty cold day here today - MTL had to take the car early, so I wasn't too sorry to miss a chilly walk to the surgery.; 11:18 PM

Pat said...: Sandy: it is easing off a bit.

GG: see above. When I saw my beauty therapist yesterday she gave me a bit of a massage to see what she could feel and I could feel her connect. We decide if I got no joy from the medic I'll let her have a go at massage. She is really good. Maybe that's why it has eased up a bit.; 11:23 PM
