From the dark corner.....

Above the clouds, what's to be found?

Above the clouds, what's to be found - Hmmmm. More clouds I reckon.

Tuesday was a very hectic day and I finished work feeling a bit frazzled. I was expecting a quiet week covering Sys Admin but it's been quite crazy! Don't these people like taking the last week or so of the school holiday off with their kids? No? Modern times I suppose.

I went to the doctor on the way home. Nothing serious. I needed to pick up a prescription for my inhaler and thought I'd kill two birds with one stone. I nearly did, literally! The doctor and the practice nurse who both knew my parents well nearly dropped to the floor when I answered the question 'How's dad?' from the doctor. He used to play golf with dad occasionally and was always threatening to go and visit him and go with him to Turnberry. I didn't soften the blow unfortunately and just told them straight - 'Dad died on the 8th of March after collapsing on the second hole of Turnberry.'

I did feel guilty afterwards. There was one funny bit. Ann, the Irish nurse said 'How's your mum?'
Before I could answer the doctor said 'Oh she's not too good actually.'
It was the withering look Ann gave the doctor that made me laugh!

Anyway, I went to the pub after that for dinner and a pint in the most horrendous rainstorm! The pub was packed with people sheltering but after the rain, I went outside and got a few 'moody clouds over the canal' pictures.
