There were fish at the Sick Kids hospital where Nicky the Grandson stayed a couple of times, though. They were nicely at child level. <br /><br />James Duncan of Glasgow were the tile makers, by the way.

I'm ashamed to say that sometimes they got away with it!<br /><br />E.C: more eavesdropping this morning, and a smart new aquarium in a hospital, but the conversation consisted of 'Are there four...oh no, there are five...oh no, here's another one. How many are there?' A bit repetitious!<br /><br />Jenny: you've opened up a new train of thought - the catch-your-own waiting room lunch!<br /><br />P.Pete: sadly, battering seems to work for lots of things! I've always assumed that hypothermia was a gentler way to go, at least for a lobster.Relatively Retiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648407316162715318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430310340733122486.post-4833842646510592722014-01-15T05:18:00.749+00:002014-01-15T05:18:00.749+00:00You'd think the obvious fish for dentists'...You'd think the obvious fish for dentists' waiting rooms would be piranha.<br /><br />EC — filleting whitebait is harder (so I'm told).<br /><br />Speaking of whitebait, a former colleague loved catching whitebait but always felt awful about killing them: straight into the pan was too horrific, and freezing wasn't much better. Another colleague thought about the problem briefly, then offered the perfect solution. <br />'You batter them!' he said.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430310340733122486.post-2378790223994618252014-01-14T23:52:25.651+00:002014-01-14T23:52:25.651+00:00Nice post.

I do so agree with you about the pictures in those Country style magazines - I remember one cover having a chicken perching on the back of a chair in the kitchen - what about the ploppings (my daughters word when as a small child we kept a few hens) I wondered! And you summed it up with the compost peelings on the table instead of a lovely arrangement of flowers!!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430310340733122486.post-23349204285904724282014-01-14T18:04:02.559+00:002014-01-14T18:04:02.559+00:00There's a coincidence!

I was the only person in the dentist waiting room this morning so I was reduced to reading a boring magazine. Jeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553005051612551946noreply@blogger.com
