Sunday 9th November

I was going to say "Winter has Arrived"  and it certainly seemed like it when I was scraping ice off the windscreen this morning so I could get the donuts.   But by lunchtime it was a warm, beautiful, balmy day, blue skies and temperature in the 70s.   So I don't know.
 
I lost my cell phone, searched through all the recently used handbags and pockets, and was just on the point of going to get a replacement when it turned up.  But it was such a lovely day in the late afternoon sunshine that I went to the AT&T store, just to see what phone I might have bought had the missing one not turned up.    I was quite captivated by a slim smart phone, under a $100, but I didn't succumb.
 
Seem to have got behind with the blog, think I have been feeling a bit under the weather, but perked up today after talking to Jeremy, Tim, precious grand daughters and Marie's very sweet mother, via Davina interpreting.
 
Nothing notable has happened in the last few days.  Was at the hospital on Friday, then had lunch with Bill.   I don't think I am breaching any confidentiality - since you don't know anyone in Shawnee, far less anyone who might be in hospital - if I say I came across a patient with 'beer potomania'.   It is a disorder in which someone drinks so much beer  - a really excessive quantity of beer - that they become very ill, not just from the alcohol, but from the huge quantity of beer destroying, I think, the electrolytes in the body.    I have never heard of this, and I worked in a hospital.  I wondered if any doctors in the UK had ever heard of it.  Or if it is a newly discovered American thing?

The number of people daily reading the blog ranges from half a dozen to ten,  but yesterday an astonishing 46 read it!!!    I can't imagine how 46 people suddenly stumbled across it.
