Not the day I expected...

arkessianSo. Today, I went to Taunton with The Lodger for our once-a-month talking-shop-cum-investment-group with friends in the pub. We got there in good time to have breakfast in the centre of Taunton at the independent coffee-shop with the excellent coffee and the pseudo-American breakfasts (in which bacon and maple syrup and waffles all figure). And from there we went to the pub, and embarked on an afternoon of deep economic discussion and ribaldry. Which was cruelly curtailed when The Lodger took a funny turn....
Still, I got to ride through the centre of Taunton in an ambulance sporting flashing blue lights and sirens; and hear the pithy opinion of the ambulance driver on the idiots who didn't see/hear him coming or know what to do to get out of the way safely when they finally did wake up.
The "funny-turns"consultant (yes, there is such a thing) has held on to him overnight, but is confident that she'll let him go by midday tomorrow with nothing to worry about except some adjustments to his long-term medication. So I shall get to drive the 200-mile round trip again to collect him. And probably do the 160-mile round trip early in the week to deposit him at his home to consult his GP...
Bah. Have resorted to wine.
