I’m sitting in the luggage rack …again.

London bound train. No seats. Luggage rack has free WiFi because it’s next to first-class.#always -a -positive

First class full of important men tapping laptops shouting into phones…oh to be one of the alpha men!

 

I’m doing VSO work. That is Voluntary Service Overload. Board meeting at NHSEngland EICC.

Y’day saw Dipstick for check up. He’s clearly been on a ‘be-nice-to-patients’ course.

Smiled! Shook my hand!?? Was EARLY.Empathetic. Went through options. Drew nice diagrams. He was actually GREAT. I mentioned Montmerency’s data. A European project. Trial of new stuff. Cost £7k a week! But only on mice so far.

Dipstick said: ‘ but you are not a mouse’.
Well at least that’s clear.
I found myself telling him how I’d snuck a mouse in a biscuit tin on a plane to Geneva. (I was 10 and going to see my parents. – even got mention on radio 4).
Dipstick just stared at me…( ‘eye-contact-course’) shook his head and got rid of me as fast as he could.
Receptionist said he’d had a few cancellations!!
I’ll tell the full mouse story another day….
