After four weeks at home with the kids, it's good to get back to work on the fourth floor of Crawley Hospital...


Fortunately it wasn't me doing the Crawley clinic today. I was safely holed up in Brighton, wondering if our patients could see well enough to evacuate the building after having the eye drops. It was one of my colleagues who had the pleasure of spending the afternoon on the pavement, watching the flames edging closer to her handbag. Still, it could have been worse. She might have had to abseil to safety.

To be honest, the room I was in today could have burst into flames and I don't think I would have noticed. I've felt like a lobotomised zombie with M.E.. The only thing keeping me going was the knowledge that the nursery had cocked up Amelie's fees again, and I needed to stay awake for an argument.

So it's not been an easy day. And to rub salt into the wound, this was the scene I left behind me at home this morning...


Those kids are a dream come true. Lisa couldn't have it any easier.

Its your 4 weeks of training which has produced such peaceful, well-behaved children.

You're so right. On the downside, I had to airbrush out the cigarette between Amelie's fingers. It's not wise to smoke in bed.
