Oh Derby


How’s this: Monday (4th Nov) is a crazy day. Jess and Todd are away so I’m the only physio around and it’s a little hectic. I’m running in and out of the office, on to the ward, back again etc… At one stage I realize “oh no, my phone is no longer on my desk, it’s been stolen”. I don’t know how but someone has come in and snagged it and I am really upset because it has everything on it. I cancel it and file a police report. The cameras don’t show the physio department unfortunately so we don’t know who has taken it and I am afraid it is gone for good. Two days later a brown paper bag is handed to the hospital reception by a man who walks in, hands it over and walks out without saying a word. Inside the bag is my phone. Incredible!

Tuesday was Melbourne Cup day. I did not expect anyone to celebrate but it is after all the race that stops the nation and it just so happened to occur at lunchtime in WA so we went out to the pub for lunch and to watch the race. We wore our fascinators, which went ever so nicely with the work uniform and placed bets. Unfortunately it wasn’t a public holiday but I was happy with the extended lunch break and the Western Australian’s cannot believe Victoria has a public holiday for a horse race…
