It lives!

I can report that Terry is alive and well, though he did not look particularly well......and let's face it, never has.I handed him the referral form when we took Dulcie today for the shoulder X-ray wanted by Dr Hew. There was no other receptionist behind the desk and no one else in the tiny waiting room."What did she do?" he asked looking at the form."She fell," I said."Yes,three weeks ago," he said, slightly accusingly as if we were lax in only bringing her now."I'll be with you in a minute," he said disappearing and then he was back with a hand held vacuum and proceeded to hoover the floor down behind the reception desk........possibly removing the remains of an ex- receptionist.We took seats and were horrified to see that the TV screen above the desk was showing the previous evenings episode of Masterchef Australia. The episode was nearly over and we had not seen it yet.Will and I both started humming loudly and sticking our fingers in our ears to drown out the sound of it.Terry appeared again and called Dulcie and Will escaped with her into the X-ray room. As they disappeared into the back a man in a black coat came in from outside. He could have been Mujahideen but he obviously had a new job and he went and sat behind the reception desk.I writhed and wriggled and hummed and fiddled with my ears to try and drown out what was happening on the TV as the judges were making their conclusions......until I could stand it no longer and leapt up and out of the door.Terry's place is sandwiched between a licensed Pawnbroker and the Golden Spoon Chinese Takeaway. A handwritten sign in the Takeaway window declared:'Form 10.30 - 2.30 and 4.00 - 9.30.'Completing the row of shops is a hair salon which appeared to be called 'Muk Hair.' I think it completes the quartet nicely.Terry took 4 X-rays and Will ended up with all the radiation too as he was helping to keep Dulcie in the right position but he would rather have been in there than see who won the Masterchef challenge.We doubt the X-rays will prove there is anything wrong with her shoulder.....but we await to hear from Dr Hew.
