Fat Sister has flown the nest as part of the annual NHS shift around. This is when all junior doctors have to change jobs simultaneously. She’s moved to a hospital too far away to commute to, so she’s temporarily moved out.…
On my way home from work we drove past a small fire on the edge of a park. I asked the cab driver to stop at the police station next door so I could tell them about it, but it was shut.…
