As you may be proud that matters of taste outweighed the confines of the tube.<br /><br />M-L: I sought to be entertaining (see Avus's initial comment) rather than lower a curtain of gloom. But in the end we both should have joined the Boy Scouts. They whistle and sing under difficulties which must make other people's difficulties even more difficult to bear.<br /><br />RW (zS): Hailing from Oz is just what those nurses are capable of doing: huge lungs and giant voiceboxes. She didn't shout down the tube, did she? Could have been terrifying.<br /><br />Sir Hugh: The soles of my feet throb in sympathy with that tale. Caving is a very special kind of macho since it's not truly visible to others. Intro-macho in fact.<br /><br />Ellena: Didn't want to scare you off. My next - final pre-Christmas - post (already written; how anal is that?) is all sweetness and light, I promise.

I jibbed.<br /><br />I think I may do the same today faced with your instrument of torture.<br /><br />I hope the results of your “caving” are as negative (in the optimistic sense) as my faint-hearted funkiness.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-39520884811351012612012-12-21T21:16:03.136+00:002012-12-21T21:16:03.136+00:00Elevators give me the heebie jeebies.

As luck would have, my nurse today hailed from Oz and made the entire experience much more pleasant. There is something scary about American nurses, especially very young ones. They sound to me like servers at a restaurant with their, "Hi! I'm Melody and I'll be taking care of you today!" Bah Humbug.<br />Hope both of our results come back clean!

I found them very claustrophobic and meditated (TM)with eyes closed, having asked them to turn off the "mew-sick" in the supplied headphones.<br />I confess to forgetting my wristwatch on one occasion - it went completely mad and a new one was required.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.com
