Just around the corner compared to these two. 30 years on and still working. Built to last or what?

TBH I stupidly made a remark to an elderly locum about having to get up to pee several times a night. Without hesitation he launched into one about the need for regular prostate checks for men of a "certain age" and had his latex glove on before I could say NO!
In point of fact he declared, in what I thought was a disappointed tone, that my prostate felt fine ..... I then got the chance to refer him to my notes which revealed the reason for the night time excursions .... diuretics ~ prescribed to me as to most patients with heart failure.

They all seem rather too eager to get the rubber glove on don’t they…

It wouldn't be so bad if they took off their watches first.

Wonderful pictures, although I thought it would be sunnier.

It's a pack animal thing, a kind of feeding frenzy.
