Stephen & Elisabeth in England

Public Transport Parade
Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: Chumbwumba--"pictures of starving children sell records"
I took the 9:15 train from Woking to Weybridge. then the 9:30 from Weybridge to Egham. Then I walked to the bus termincal, where I caught the 10:04 bus to Slough (which has earned two National Titles: 1. The most boring place in Britian 2. The Armpit of England). I arrived in Slough to catch a bus I had no idea I had to take, which got me to the Wexham Hospital just in time for my 11:15 appointement. Despite the shabby building, the doctor was very competant and informed me that I have a permanent fungal infection in my ear, for which I must receive regular cleanings. They will be free if you must know. (That explains the shabby state of the building.)

And what is this mysterious cleaning you ask? Well, the doctor places an x-ray over your ear, and inserts a tiny vaccum into the ear and carefully sucks out all the little bits. For those of you who weren't aware, I ususally do my 24-7 with inflamed ear drums...but that's neither here nor there.

The good thing is, I only got to work at 3:30 today. But the bad news is I have to do it all again in 2 weeks. Perhaps I'll bring the camera and display the appaling scenery of Slough.
