Isolation Day 2 of ..

So it’s 9.30am – it’s a beautiful day outside, not a cloud in the sky, and the trees are swaying in the breeze.  Saw a bird perched in a branch – that was exciting – not the bird particularly as it looked like a crow but the fact that there was one. In a few weeks time these grounds are going to be bursting with bulbs and colour – a complete contrast to now… might even be an iris or two amonsgt them.

OK – blood pressure and temperature done, bloods taken, and all flushed through almost before I’d opened an eyelid by 6.30am.  They sneak in quietly these nurses and catch you unawares.

Dr F visited later –  “Sleep well?” “How’s your bowels?” “Any problems you let us know?” – to give me my daily blood counts and they’re all heading in the right downward direction.  A day or twos time and we should hit rock bottom that’s when our teams’ bright and bubbly spirits might dip a little – but they’ll still be inside us gunning to come out and play again!

I was hoping for a slightly more feminie attire to wear over the next few days but it appears that isolation squabs come in but one design – and possible size – and I feel like a branded bull with ‘50’ stamped across my buttock. So here it is in all it’s glory…

Definitely practical; afterall these do have to be laundered on a daily basis, and are made of a hard wearing cotton, and not too bad a colour – so those are the positives. But don’t you feel it could do with a little more detail around the neck, possibly a dart or two to excentuate my figure, perhaps a little bright sash to at least look as if I have an important belt in judo? Let’s see what I can do with the very limited supplies that have been left us …

Well obviously not a lot – where’s Gok and his ideas to snazzy something up with a curled ribbon and a button or two when you need him (not that I have either of them!)

And no they don’t come in one-size-fits-all cos unless I have lost a considerable amount of my bulk overnight this outfit is even larger than yesterdays.

And whilst we’re talking about bulk – here’s a pictorial of all that has been consumed by yours truly today … apart from the last dinner dish – that was just one bowl too many!

Hmm not sure why that’s so pink!!

Stu’s been out and about wandering the local Izmanolov Markets and buying up tasteful Russian giftets – and checking they don’t have ‘Made in China” stamped on the bottom!!
