Something I wrote a few years ago in December

And in the evening play a double bass?
Posted on December 16,
Happiness is compulsory at this time
Xmas parties,alcohol and drugs
Inebriated,I can never rhyme
I sit and watch the mating of the slugs

But surely nothing mates in winter cold
For slugs don’t have a coat like humans do
Perhaps ,despite appearance, they are bold
Need no injections to prevent the deadly flu.

On balance would you rather be a slug
That lives a life of freedom in the grass
Or do you live because you write and blog
And in the evening play a double bass.?A slug can’t sing a song nor speak kind words
This comparison is foolish and absurd

Interesting hospital advice about a patient getting washed

In a large hospital in North London, I have been told that if I want to have a wash I should tell the staff. Then they will bring me some water

After 5 days I have only been washed once but I didn’t realize I have to ask for it even though I have a broken wrist not yet in permanent plaster.

I’m not sure if this is actually true because when the physiotherapist came they asked me how I got washed and I said I don’t know what the normal procedure is but I’ve only got washed once since I came here.

I think the person I was speaking to may have been gaslighting at me but I will be interested to know if anybody else have the same experience.

I have also got a throat infection so I would have thought to protect other people I should be clean and the sheets are not changing regularly. I was very impressed at first but there’s something wrong. No wonder covid is spreading
