View from my mother's living room

We spent the afternoon together at the hospital. An appointment with the eye doctor is never just a half an hour thing... We sat in a long corridor with lots of doors opening onto that corridor. Doors kept opening and closing, people came out, sat down on chairs, waited a bit and would vanish behind a different door only to return a bit later to sit down again. We did the same. I know better ways to spend the afternoon...
