Expedition number three to the ‘Friends’ proved interesting yet again. The coffee was equally good (tea still isn’t hitting the mark). This time I took a novel over with me and sat in the sun until I cooked and had to move to the shade. Not an option back in my own room.
When ‘Sue’(I think that was her name) came to take away my empty cup and half nibbled Kit-kat she struck up conversation. How far away I lived, occupation etc. ? Soon I discovered that Sue was a Royal Academy of Music violin graduate from here in Glasgow and had been taught by Hester Dixon, Christine’s Aunt on her father’s side.
Sue was now heavily involved in running the ‘Friends’ and with hypnotherapy for musicians as well as cancer patients. Hypnotherapy is not something I have ever experienced first hand and was keen to learn more. She was dismissive of the Derren Brown TV, ‘snap-of-the-fingers-and-gone’ type nonsense. But I may get to learn a little more depending on just how long I remain here next week. My Goodness it could get so interesting I might look forward to staying an extra day or so ! There’s positive reverse thinking for you ! The latest ‘maybe home’ date from a different, more senior doctor is next Wednesday; so still the illusive 5 day gap remains.
