pleasant woman indeed :rotfl: :rotfl: what a bizarre thing to write in a referral letter! What if you were grumpy - would your medical care be worse?!

Exactly!!!

<best buck ideas up!>

:rotfl::kisses3: you're lovely!

As for mystery specialist - hope *they* know what they're doing at least! :rotfl: I had a letter yesterday about my thyroid surgey and apparently my consultant is 'Mr Surgical' :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm hoping he's been destined for this all his life

I hope so too! And as for your Mr Surgical!!! Is that real? :rotfl::rotfl: or is that the database scr*wing up :cool:

"Mr Surgical", thats hilarious :rotfl:

Mr Surgical :rotfl:

The personal stuff in medical letters bemuses me - do they really think they won't ever be seen by patients?!

Cheery_Daff

I did wonder whether it was the database screwing things up :rotfl: :rotfl: But whoever he is I'm ghoing to think of him as Mr S Surgical from now on anyway

hee hee hee - very good.

Wonder if yours will be signed

mr whateverthatspecialism is called.....................

Agree we all should get the best treatment we can be given, I'm with cheery and the 'pleasant' indeed squizz is right, don't they think patients will see it? Or do they think only the medical profession can read?

KC my lovely,

I've been absent & am probably a bit late with comfort, but hope new medical person is more suited to your needs.

Pippi - I now have a mental image of you sat within eyeball distance of Kirstie & Phil with your picnic hamper

hugs to anyone in need

Morning all! Thanks Lula - all comfort gratefully received, never fear tho I've certainly missed your diary

Very odd that I didn't come back on here after earlyish morning, I thought I had... nothing essential, just my usual wittering

It was blackberrying time again - I thought I'd go look at the sort of oak orchard I found a few months ago - the building site by it has partly wrecked it, the foundations of a road through have been laid so I'm glad I saw it in its original state. I got a bit lost because of it tho, and a bit trapped - slightly worrying as I could hear a dog barking, and memories of being threatened by farm dogs in various countries came up - but of course, this is England (I can still *just* say that) so the dog was just somewhere local in somebody's back garden ... anyway, I found my way out, avec 700g of blackberries, which were picked near a local overflow scheme, very accessible. Why is no one else picking blackberries properly? There was a man out with his toddler, who was doing the picking :rotfl: but there were dozens of blackberries, ripe and *very* accessible, just sitting there. Is it part of the general malaise of our times, that hardly anyone does it any more? It really did set me thinking.

And cos I don't feel I can do much housework at the mo, I started organising the paperwork I have around, a la GTD, finally. I'm not there by any means, but its partway there

I'm popping in to town, and have 1.5 hours work, tho thats in the evening, so basically I have all day to do stuff in the house and garden. Off round here for a bit first tho.

I think a lot of people have been 'educated' by supermarkets to expect fruit and veg to be perfect; no bruising, and all the same size and shape. My friend is very critical of my strawberries, as they are all tiny - yes, that's what strawberries are generally like.

My auntie have me windfall apples one year and I took them into work, but lots of people wouldn't eat them.

Are you going to be relaxing this weekend before your mother comes? Or have you lots of plans.

Morning KC!

I was minded of you the other day when in our local Co0p - they had a punnet of blackberries, reduced to sommat still daft, but they had originally been £2. The punnet was 225g! On the upside, it was English produce (Kent), and I suppose blackberries probably are still picked by hand, but still...... I agree with gilligansyle though about conditioning about 'size', 'colour' and lack of blemishes. These BB's were big, round and pitch black, but I couldn't help wondering what they would taste like (to be fair, the variety was named - 'churchill' I think???). Whereas the BB's that are growing profusely and are ripening nicely alongside the railway line and outside the coal merchants locally are all manner of shapes and sizes (although I must say quite big) but taste smashing!

Have a good day!
