Minty Bit Stronger

So, here I am. Sat in the gruesome hospital waiting area. I note the walls are painted a weird shade of glaucoma and the chip wood furniture is the colour of bile. Between the shiny black circles of prehistoric chewing gum I can see what might have once been a mauve carpet. I'm not sure. The ceiling panels have those peculiar 'coffee stains' which make no sense as coffee stains cannot end up on a ceiling. What ever else they are I dread to think. A 12 month old copy of Tatler is on the MDF table besides me and judging from it's frayed pages I estimate it is the most infectious thing here. I sanitise my hands. Again. Why am I here? Well it's not just any old hospital... It's an eye hospital. I, dear reader, am writing this post with two throbbing eyes and one thumping headache. I hope that shows that I am a committed and selfless blogger. After a traumatic examination from my optician I was referred here. She said 'go ASAP', I waited til after work....

Another day, another trip to University Hospital Lewisham. This time it wasn't me, but instead a broken Guillaume. I decided to document our trip with my iPhone Instagram app. Why? Why not!! Guillaume was busy working on his troubled mid-distance stare as I secretly papped him. The Doctor was wearing Crocs but I forgave him because he identified the source of Guillaume's pain and offered crutches and pain killers. Armed with a trendy pair of aluminium crutches we went to M&S - well, what else would you do? Back home it was time to get junked up on Tramadol - I wanted in on the act, they look fun!  Finally, some stick on pain relief and a little snooze.
