I have decided I will, after all, go back to Gastro.
The Eye Dept is really well run, and has lovely people in it. I feel like a spare part! I need a bit more of a challenge, so when my old boss spoke to me, I mentioned I was still interested. This set various wheels into motion, and I shall start there again at the beginning of March.
Ty Lia, Prof and Gwen, btw for the wise listening ears.
My old washer, which I brought back from Germany, died finally last weekend. A washer is something you don't even notice till it breaks, and believe me, it has been a long week. The new one is a Bosch, like the old one, and it is wonderful.
We are going back to Stratford for a weekend again soon, to see the Tempest, and have made arrangements to meet up with Libby and Basty at the end of the month.
