Sometimes it is interesting to see yourself though someone else's eyes
It doesn't happen very often,as I am sure we all possess that strange subjective ability to view oneself in a more than glowing light
But, at certain rare times , I think It can be rather amusing to see what other's do
The resulting image can come as a bit of a shock!
Last night, I took a patient handover from a new itu nurse who has an interest in chickens
As it turned out, she is in fact the grand daughter of a lady who was my mother's best friend for over 25 years- a fact I found to be rather surreal..so not only did we have a brief chat out past times, we waxed on fairly lyrically about the beautiful colour of aracuna hen's eggs.
Now I have not been at work for 18 days (bliss) so throughout the night, during those brief moments of quietness between turns, hourly observations, drug administrations and alarm silencing , I regaled my colleagues with fascinating stories of pig culling, meat freezing,blind Rooster tales and goose re homing....
At 5am I was quietly discussing Mabel's sexual adventures
when a patient chirped up from his bed, nearby
"Enough animal stories please"
and added somewhat testily
"You're boring the tits off me!"
