Time for many cocktails.

“Darling, when things go wrong in life, you lift your chin, put on a ravishing smile, mix yourself a little cocktail...”

Good Morning World...Fri 27th, 5.49, 14.1dg, 26.6ml. It has been persisting most of the night and it was just plain soggy out coming back home at 7.30 last night. Yesterday did not go to original plan.. do they ever?? Multiple little things done in town in the morning, and then the afternoon spent unexpectedly with a new enquiry that turned into a two hour translation session. I have the greatest admiration for some of the more experienced women in this village... the lovely young thing that came to me on recommendation from one of my conversation group was 72 and is organising another group of friends to come and improve their English. How wonderful at that age to be learning new skills... they can teach us so much. Yesterday I also bit the bullet and made an appointment with the Doctor.. Yip, the Doctor. What a blinking nightmare that turned out to be. 4pm appt, and in fairness was seen quite promptly, but decisions were removed from my control after that. He ordered x-rays to be done, and said as I do not have a car, I was not allowed to go in to hospital by train, he would order transport.. Oooohh I said no ambulance, No he said, a taxi and they will wait and bring you home. What a shit... the bloody Ambulance boys arrived with a chair that I was belted into in the surgery and they wheeled me out in full view of the town and loaded me into the back of the Ambulance. A bit over the top really. Saw the emergency Doctor, had x-rays and did the normal waiting waiting waiting for result and decision, only to be finally seen and dressed down by a female doctor with the personality of Frankenstein and the manners of a yob. God forbid anyone coming into contact with her at bedside!! Upshot is as the toe, which is broken is now 3 weeks after the accident they will and can not do anything about it. Saga closed. Came home with a very grumpy face on... rude cow. Two gins and some grilled broccoli later I went to bed. Today I will behave as normal, just no high heels. Conversation at 10.00 and tuition at 1.00, and then feet up with a cold compress on the foot. Cocktails served....
