poliphilo I have a bruise in the crook of my left arm where Marcia failed to insert a canula but none in the crook of my right arm where her jovial senior colleague succeeded. I'm proud of myself that I got on top of my needle phobia and submitted to this carry-on with cheerfulness.
On our way home from the hospital we stopped at Siyvers Antiques Centre (which is housed in an Edwardian railway station) because they serve home-made cake in their refreshment room. I nearly bought a matryushka doll of President Clinton with a doll of Ken Starr inside him and a doll of Monica Lewinsky inside Starr. "Little bit of history" I thought- but it was an ugly thing and I don't need to be filling the house with bits and bobs for no better reason that they're quirky so I bought a nice model of a GWR railway engine instead because it was cheaper and I like steam trains a whole lot better than I like Bill Clinton.
Clinton Matryushka dolls aren't rare. Look on Etsy for examples of the sort of thing I nearly bought.
And here's a picture of the thing I did buy. Not bad for a fiver. GWR stands, of course, for God's Wonderful Railway
