Dreaming.

Sitting in the waiting room

With my hacking cough

I think for just a minute

I must have nodded off

I dreamt of what I'd come for

And the doctor I would see

I had my script all ready

Because quick you have to be.

Good morning Mr Don

How are you today

Let me help you with your coat

I hope you've time to stay.

How are all your family

And your little Midge

I'm glad to hear although she's old

And hasn't crossed that bridge.

Now tell me what the problem is

Complete as you can be

Perhaps before you start on that

You would like a cup of tea

Then suddenly I'm wide awake

Standing outside in the road

With a prescription in my hand

Oh well, I should have knowed.

[sassy59]

A sign of the times eh Don? Nice dream though.

Take care and have a good day. Xxxx😘💖

I'm beginning to feel my age Carole, it was a lovely day today and I should have been off out in that campervan, but I don't have the energy. Both Midge and I are off our food. I think messing with the clock is responsible. I'm going to ignore Daylight Saving Time in future in favour of Don & Midge Time. 😉x

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

That sounds like a good idea Don. You take care xxx 💋

[watergazer in reply to Hidden]

Oh dear. Take care x

[RoadRunner44]

You hit the nail on the head each time, I don't know how you do it Don!

[hypercat54]

Ha ha Don that's exactly how it is xx

[Hidden]

Says it all Don. Spot on as always

[skischool]

"How dare you come here with a hacking cough

Said the doctor to Don whilst telling him off

Here take this note to your pharmacy

They are the ones who do Empathy

Your10 mins are up and now it's time

So bugger off dear Don and you'll be fine"

Hope for feel better soon Master Po x

The old time doctors came very close to that. I remember my mother taking me to Dr Shanks with a boil on the base of my thumb. His surgery was the front room of a semi-detached house on a main road and his wife answered the door and showed us into their living room to wait. He lanced the boil in the surgery and green stuff flowed out which together with the pain turned me as white as a sheet, according to my mother. She was afraid that I would be sick on the bus going home, so Mrs Skanks took us back in the living room for a cup of tea till I recovered. I remember it so well it would have been around 1937/38.

Morning Mr.D and today its actually a bright but chilly day which helps with the old mindset ... good day outside so feeling more up beat than the last few days at least!

Other replies have already said how you're always right with your observations etc and you entertain us by putting your clever brain into its rhyming mode. 🤭👏👏. Hope your day is a good one. Our dog Hazel will not go out for walks if its raining so shes got no reason not to go out for an hour or so today and my son is getting her collar and lead on her right now. Does little Midge have preferences,likes/dislikes ..... from what you've said, she is just one very happy lady as long as she's with you! How does she cope with the fireworks🔥🎇👻💥🎃🎆 ?

[Hidden]

Well I like having my ego stroked HS, so don't hold back on my account. 😁 Most people think that all dogs start jumping up and down at the touch of a collar or lead, but I think both Hazel and Midge would say differently. They have their own ideas about that especially when it's raining and when they think they have walked far enough. Midge is small enough to shove under my arm on such occasions. Fireworks send her into attack mode, thunder and lightening are the only things that make her tremble and she has her 'Thunder Shirt' to wear then. 🙄

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to Hidden]

Apparently a couple of the big supermarkets are banning the sale of all fireworks as from next year which is a start. Ok a few sparklers,those types that dont go wizz up into the sky and then bang,bang,bang ... they arent so bad for backgarden events for the little kiddies but otherwise id say anything that makes loud noises etc have to be organised and approved by the local council. Phew ive got that off my chest after last nights events were soooooo stressful for Hazel🐕 and even a few others we could hear barking and howling everytime a rocket wizzed up and then did a huge bang 🎇🎆❌✖️💕

[Hidden in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Halloween seems to have taken over Bonfire/Firework night which is no bad thing in some respects. It's a good job Guy Fawkes isn't still around or we could be having a repeat performance the way things are in Parliament. 😉😘

Don’t waste my time with just a cough,

There’s someone here whose head fell off.

If it’s not better in a week

He can come back for pills, if he can speak.

By the time you’ve spelled your address and name,

Your time is up, ain’t that a shame.

Your next appointment is next November

To discuss your cough, if I remember.

Love your new picture thingy Don 👍
