Booze

August 6th, 2008

 

He says he is going to walk out of treatment altogether unless we transfer him from Kent to London.  I suspect he has something specific on his mind.

Trouble

August 6th, 2008

 He turned up in my office and harangued my staff over an issue from twenty years ago in which my records show that he was clearly mistaken.  However, if he makes trouble for my staff, I’ll make trouble for him. 

Boring

August 6th, 2008

As Meg pointed out, the doctor we met is a lot younger than we are but he seems a lot older.  Some doctors have professional lives that are a lot less exciting than mine. 

The Time Lord

August 6th, 2008

He arrived at my office in a stretched limo.  I thought they were used only by sixteen year old girls having a birthday party.  Clearly I had over-estimated his maturity.   Perhaps he spends too much time in the presence of sixteen year old girls.

The Musician

August 6th, 2008

He has talent as a composer, no doubt about that. I wish I liked his music, but I don’t:  it doesn’t say anything to me that I value. 

Tidal Turbines

August 5th, 2008

 

They seem to me like a good idea and they are a lot more environmentally friendly than the terrestrial variety – although I suppose that depends upon the point of view, mine or that of the fish.

The Race

August 5th, 2008

My personal secretary, Karen, and I are in a constant race to see which one of us can land something on the desk of the other before the previous batch of work is complete. She’s very fast but the nights and the weekends give me an unfair advantage.

Halibut and Crab Meat

August 5th, 2008

There are some culinary combinations that are truly amazing.

The Itch

August 5th, 2008

There are few pleasures in life that equal a good scratch.  Watching Phoebe or Cat or Cat do it makes me quite envious – but I don’t have the necessary starting position. 

The Musician

August 4th, 2008

He has talent as a composer, no doubt about that. I wish I liked his music, but I don’t:  it doesn’t say anything to me that I value.
