I know you all think my recent holiday was spent cleaning windows. Wrong!! It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we went to the fabulous (and posh!) Saffire in Tasmania. One of their highlights is to visit the oyster farm. You put on waders and walk into waist high water. The guide shucks fresh oysters - which you wash down with champagne at 10:30 in the morning! Our guide was an absolute champion as he set up a table with a tablecloth, glasses , condiments and lime. I was sceptical. I laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. But the first glass of champagne went down a treat ! Once the storm blew in it became medicinal!! Certainly a special memory. Wait for the next anniversary instalment in my next post!

OK...I have a confession..

I have, from time to time, succumbed to the temptation of late night TV shopping. Being an obstetrician means you are up in the middle of the night and VULNERABLE to the seductive tones of TV shopping.
It started many, many years ago with a purchase of ‘The Stainorator’ (a miracle foam to remove carpet stains. I was a very junior doctor and after a particularly boozy night and after being force-fed some Berocca...but that is another story entirely..). When my new husband found it deep in the cupboard, plastered with ‘TV SHOP!’ all over it he couldn’t stop teasing me about it. That was pre-internet when TV shopping was a guilty secret. Now online purchases are compulsory! One night after a delivery I nearly handed over my credit card details for ‘Hair-agami’ (a novel little device that put your hair into various creative up-dos. Just like Origami for hair! I resisted. I was proud of myself).
Then,
I saw the ‘Jet-Hawk’!!! A nifty little pressure washer device.
Today, the 2nd day of my holidays I PROUDLY read the instructions, put it together and CLEANED THE WINDOWS! (because that is what an obstetrician does on holiday....).
And it was AWESOME!
Yay!

I’m not dead yet….

I came in to birth suite last night to find there had been some concern about my welfare over the weekend. I had left my little red car in the St V carpark over the weekend because I attended a trivia night on Friday. Wanting to have a couple of wines, I went there straight from work (as soon as a baby was born Friday night..). Went home with hubby and my son drove me into the hospital last night. Apparently, the continued presence of my car but my lack of patients in birth suite led a few astute midwives to wonder if I was dead in my rooms! Well, as Oscar Wilde said: reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

I am happy to know that people notice my absence and care about my welfare…even if it is because one person was worried that I wouldn’t be there to do their operation in a few weeks!
