Today I got up early to drop Abby to drama and take a mate to the doctors.
I like her surgery so much better than mine, though the clientele are basically similar in class. Hmm dunno how to describe them really because I have no wish to be derogatory. I guess in American standards they'd be a trailer park type but not trash. Lots of good hearted and loyal people live in our areas. It's a shame the few no brainers, druggies and drunks spoil it.
I like people watching. One teen (about 12) Indian lad had a tooth out. All alone and they couldn't find him mum to take him home after. Maybe the Indians don't coddle kids? I don't know but I did think it mean he was on his own.
There was one mother with a gaggle of kids, not terribly clean either with a very chubby two to three year old who was running amok whacking other kids and wrecking the joint. She ineffectively tried to get her to sit still and stay close but the kid was wild. She boomed at her across the waiting room "Come yer Tallulah or the bogeyman'll cum get ya"
Tallulah was unimpressed although she did take a peek behind her. Wow what a stupid threat to dish out to a small child. Then after she's whacked some other blonde child her mother grabbed her and slapped her backside. At this point the Indian doctor called my mate but we didn't hear it because Tallulah's cry was louder than a fog horn.
I have absolutely no objection to foreign doctors. I work with some of the nicest and may I add most competent doctors ever and a lot are foreign. But when their master ship of the English language is so limited that it's impossible to understand them or them understand me? Well................
Anyways, a bit of slow loud talking (that's what you do isn't it?) and we were sorted and out of there.
Now time to chill. Oh...My cake last night. It was ok. Not the best I ever had but my bakery skills can only get better. The only way is up baby...............
