Kitty 5 - With Patricia Routledge
Some women ( and I will use the example of Victoria Wood's "Kitty" here)..are just naturally funny!
Of course they don't know it, they are always of a type....but funny they are....
Today I have been working day shift. I looked after a recovering 78 year old lady who instantly recognised me from when she "knew " me as a boy
Like Kitty, she was a natural Queen of the one liner when I asked her if an Orthopaedic registrar had seen the infection in a wound on her leg she said without smiling
"An somewhat untidy youth came to see me yesterday if that's what you mean;
he was wearing plimsolls and an ill fitting cardigan that gaped at the sleeves.......but I suppose all this informality is a populist University system for you!!"

She is such a hoot.
ReplyDeleteDear Kitty... Pure genius... I loved them all.
ReplyDeleteHello John:
ReplyDeleteWe loved the video, we loved Patricia Routledge and, most of all we loved the dry humour of your patient. We should enjoy meeting her over afternoon tea!!
She sounds like a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI hope she can make a full recovery.

she was transferred OUT of intensive care today!
ReplyDeleteYour patient's line sounds like something out of Alan Bennett. Good for her. As for Patricia Routledge, what a treasure. And V Woods too, of course!
ReplyDeleteI love Patricia Routledge. She reminds of my mother-in-law who was a Liverpudlian. She was deadly with her muttered asides. One right after the other.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm glad she's out of intensive care now.
ReplyDeleteGreat seeing the Kitty clip too.
She's a hoot that Kitty.
ReplyDeleteFab ! I am thoroughlly enjoying the company of a 94 year old at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore Patricia Routledge, when Don was alive we watched "Keeping Up Appearances" til we knew the dialogue by heart! So funny...her and her schemes! All the crazy situations she'd get herself into! Did I miss something? is PR ill? Sending positive thoughts her way whether she is or not! Your patient is charmingly subtle! Love it!

ReplyDeletedont worry..I was using "kitty" as an example of how my patient was naturally funny!
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGotta love her!
ReplyDeleteI loved her as Hyacinth.
ReplyDeleteI love Patricia, I love British humor, and, no, I will not forget my old blogger friends. Just got a bit overwhelmed with the A to Z Challenge where I blogged six days a week for April and picked up a bunch of new followers. I should be back to normal by next week.--Inger
ReplyDeleteI am going to spend all next week and memorize that dolly's little phrase. Then I will teach it to my 6 yr old granddaughter as she seems to feel the word "awesome" covers all topics.
ReplyDelete"It's my sister calling; that's NOT the one with the pool and the pony!"
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the company of ladies like this. And my WI in the village is full of them.Priceless.
ReplyDeletePriceless indeed.
ReplyDeleteI liked the first 2 series of 'Ladies of Letters'.

You're so right...priceless!
ReplyDeleteIt gives me the jitters to have to deal with a "professional" who dresses out of the missionary barrel.
