Last night I found myself looking after a young road traffic victim from Sheffield ( I knew the road that his family lived on very well indeed) and this morning I stalked a midget in a red coat around Home Bargains.
Obviously I wont go into details about my patient, suffice to say having someone around that knew the family home city well, went a long way in cementing good relationships between nurse and family...no I want to concentrate on the surreal little moment I experienced when shopping for dettol.
Knackered I had finished work, completed the jobs , walked the dogs and then driven to Prestatyn to deliver eggs and to collect more red mite disinfectant.
Prestatyn has a Home bargain store ( which took over from the now defunct Woolworths) and although a little "trailer trashy!" it is the ideal place in which to buy cheap cleaners and diet coke.
As I walked around the store , a small figure in a red coat kept catching my eye and I found myself transported to the climax of Don't Look Now! when a middle aged lady "small person" shot passed with a large wire basket..
I don't know what possessed me but I followed her!
When she stopped to look for something on a shelf I stopped, pretending to search the higher shelves for an item of interest and after a few minutes she limped to the till with me and my dettol in hot pursuit....I could believe myself, but I wanted to see what she had bought.
I had visions of a sharp kitchen knife, a claw hammer and perhaps a sharpened screwdriver...
What I did see was a packet of wild bird food and can of air freshener!
Time for more sleep
Yes, Dear, I believe you are in need of more sleep......
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, John: your most surreal post yet.
ReplyDeleteA little infatuated where you? (giggle giggle)
ReplyDeleteGo get some sleep. May you dream of little people and what they purchase! :) xoxo
if that's a picture of her, she looks almost enchanting...in a very fairy-tale-ish sort of way.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't a picture of her was it? If so I agree with Polly she looked fairy tale-ish.

ReplyDeleteokay I have no idea why that comment left itself twice!
ReplyDeleteOk, that was spooky... yep, I think you need to hit the pillow and get some sleep.
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha! I bet you were a fun kid to be around. Imaginary friends?? (I had them. Don't be ashamed.)
ReplyDeleteGotta get home---looks like a really big storm is about to hit. x-c
Yes John, rest would be highly recommended. Superman needs his sleep too!
ReplyDeleteOh dear... oh well at least you didn't end up like Donald Sutherland (loved that movie)
