The absence of blog
Apologies for the lack of posting yesterday. I had/have a wretched cold, and couldn't really be bothered. Unfortunately, Caleb also has a cold, so we didn't have the best night. I am just downstairs, while Libby gets "5 minutes lying how she wants to lie". Caleb is lying on my lap, pulling the most extraordinary windy faces. One day I must manage to catch them on video.
Wendy leaves us this afternoon, so then the hard labour really starts. My challenge today is to get all the work I need to get done before taking next week off, finished by 3.15 so I can get home by the time she leaves. This will truly be a feat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I have a few minutes to spare, here's a thing. Doctors get £50 for each death certificate they sign. Now, in my profession, that would be called a conflict of interests. I don't really like the thought of some cash-strapped junior doctor, with huge university debts, and facing today's house prices looking at me with £ signs in his eyes. Especially now they don't have to swear the Hippocratic oath anymore...
Nothing personal, it just seems a bit strange to me.

That's enough controversy for one day. Feel free to comment!

Why on earth do they get paid for doing that? Isn't that just part of their job? How morbid.
And tell Wendy hi for me. :)
Hope you can handle my comments--it comes from wishing people would comment on mine. Sniff.
It's not for death certificates, it's for cremation forms (entirely different!). Anyway, it will soon be a thing of the past so don't loose too much sleep over it.
