Her: "Do you want a bag at all?"
Me: "Yes, I'll have a bag at all, please."
Her: "What?"
Me: "I'll have a bag at all, please."
Her: "... er... um... what's one of them?"
Me: "Forget it, I won't have a bag at all after all."
Her: "... um... OK.... Will there be anything else?"
Me: "That's an interesting question... philosophical... who knows what the future will bring? Let's start with the change."

LOL @ the BBFC's protractor to the south of the Mull of Kintyre.
The latest monthly out-patient consultation at LRI was a belter. I managed to prise some interesting info from the consultant, info that clarifies the current ferritin issue.

I looked at the other customer. She looked at me. We both had that "WTF?" look on our faces.
For a while words failed us, we couldn't speak for laughing.
Happiness comes from the most unlikely places.

The Ward 41 team have been my extended family for so much of this year, I owe them much more than words can say, and I'll never be able to thank them enough for all that they did.
Here are some snaps kindly sent to me by HCA Natalie... the roll-call, the citation, and one of the shift-teams. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few more pics soon.
It makes me feel really sad that some members of the team have already gone on to other things in other places while I've been out, and I've not been able to give them goodbye-hugs and thanks. I'll miss them more than they'll ever know.
Update: Here's another pic kindly sent to me by Ward Clerk Sam, who always manages to miss the photo opportunities:
They scrub up well, don't they? TBH, I didn't recognise some of them with their clothes on 🙂
For those who missed it on the telly, here are four minutes of brilliance:
