The GP and nurse patched me up; they've taken swabs lest there be an infection. .
The Homoeopathic Hospital prescribed more "Calm down, dear" pills, and some "Slow down, dear" ones for good measure. I stuck around for spiritual healing - these days I'll try anything that doesn't frighten the horses. I left calmer, having had a clear, underwater Maldivian vision of a huge, slow, old, sleepy-eyed fish. And on the train home I craved silence, not music.

Met this lovely man in the lift at Russell Square tube: those flowers were on their way to a grand old lady's 100th birthday party.

Photography my saving grace today: Shooting Times in the Homoeopathic Hospital waiting room (a nice touch, I felt); Her Britannic Majesty on the pharmacy wall; people actually pay money to the Friends of the Hospital for the handiworked extravaganzas up top.

If my body falls to bits over the weekend, I now have clear guidance on where to go and what to do. And hopefully, my mind won't fall to bits before my name reaches the top of the counselling pile.
.
I have to accept that life is not subject to my whims. The control freak within battles against surrendering to that one.

The GP's nurse will check me for any interesting developments on Monday; I am seeing Mr Trustworthy Surgeon with a GG on Tuesday; and my ultrasound to clarify the gallbladder picture is now on 23rd Sept. So, no more operations until after that date. Time to slow down and heal. If you catch me doing anything else, you have my full permission to intervene.

Hello you lovely pair,
Your daughter is an as yet unidentified saint. Wait 'til I write up last night's adventures....
Have a most gorgeous time. Are you brave enough to have a paddle?
