I like your mix of skills and abilities! You can get fluids into a dehydrated person with a drill and then later bake them a cake when they feel better. :)
Seriously, I cannot wait. I keep looking longingly at Starbucks, waiting for their red cups. And I have planned Christmas morning breakfast already.... xxx
Some of this I very much knew and some of it I didn't. I once saw the Beast of Bodmin? REALLY? Wow! Did you ever post about the experience?
You really are one of the most caring people EVER, and I've always pictured you as being a country doctor in a bygone era. You know what I mean, where you know everyone in your entire village and are summoned in the middle of the night to deliver babies and all that. You flourish in the pre-WWII corners of my mind. Not that there were too many female doctors then, but you get the idea.
I didn't post about it, this was before the days of the internet! I was in my mid-teens, and for some reason my mother and I were driving across Bodmin moor late at night - I think we were going to join my uncle, aunts and cousins on a family holiday, but why we were driving so late I can't remember. Anyway, we saw this shape in the headlights in the middle of the road, and then it walked a few steps and looked directly at us. It was the size of a really big dog, but it moved like a cat, and it had a cat-shaped face. I clung to my mum's arm. 'It's the Beast of Bodmin!' I shrieked. My mother, the sceptic, tried to deny it, but failed miserably halfway through. 'Don't be silly, it's just a -' *eyes glow green in the headlights* 'OH BLOODY HELL!', and she swerved around it and we drove away at high speed. In retrospect, it was really cool, but it was quite scary at the time!
Aww, thank you for being so lovely about me! I think I really would fit in as the village doctor in the 1930s. I have a leather doctor's bag and everything!
Woah - a lot of that stuff on the dyspraxia list rang unnervingly true for me. It would certainly explain a lot. (Except that - like you - my fine motor skills are pretty damn good.)

Perhaps we should create a TV series about you as a 30's era country doctor...
