and you were there... and you were there...
I had a really bizarre dream last night. It started off with me in a hospital, I was in bed with a blanket tucked right up under my chin. My mother was there, and some other family members too, but I'm not sure who. All I knew was that I was there for my top surgery. So my mother said goodbye and everyone left. Somehow, it was either by phone or telepathy, I managed to contact Robin and he said that as he lived locally he'd come by to visit. How nice! I was rather pleased by that. Then - and this is where it gets seriously bizarre - I was with Aby and we were trying to catch the train/tube down to London so that I could have my surgery. I'm so much of a writer, I dream in flashbacks *headdesk*
So Aby and I were trying to catch the train but neither of us had enough money for the fare, it was something like £853 (well, that's public transport for you). I can't remember who suggested it, but we ended up having to use 'borrowed' credit cards to pay for our tickets. I got my ticket first, I had to sign something like one of those old style credit card slips (the triplicate ones with all the carbon paper in) and the name was E R/K Bank or Bang or something like that. I know I had to sign it twice, because the first time wasn't accurate enough but the man behind the counter gave me the credit card to copy from. What a nice man he was. He gave me the triplicate slips back and I asked where my ticket was only to be told that I had to exchange the slips for my ticket from a machine. I got a bit panicked at this point because it was getting late and my operation was booked for 7.30! Aby was trying to borrow a Visa card off an older lady, who gave her a debit card so Aby had to explain that she needed the credit card too. I went off in search of the ticket machine. I can't remember exactly how it worked but I know it looked like a large monitor with a cover over it and possibly a keyboard, and I needed a token for it as well.
I finally got my ticket sorted, or at least I think I did, I don't remember dreaming that bit, because next thing I knew I was in the hospital asking if I was too late for my surgery because it was now 7.45. I'm not sure where Aby went to, but I know Robin arrived then, saying he'd come to visit me! I think we went off somewhere and I have a vague recollection of him wearing red baseball boots (as well as other clothes, prevert!)
That was when I woke up. So... yeah... *blinkblink*
