More on the “shared patient model.” The doctor I saw the other day asked, Did I operate on you?
No, I replied, and said I thought if someone looked right inside your body they’d remember you. I got a slight smile out of her.
Made me look it up! Found that it’s Deuteronomy 10:16 (not Numbers).
We like the Criterion channel, which is about $15 a month and has lots of really good films. Lots of older ones.
Eight tickets doesn’t allow you to watch much, does it? I keep meaning to find out if each person in a household can subscribe.
Intriguing! I’ve never heard of those, though I live in a very snowy place.
That's really nice. I've found I really appreciate having what I've gone through (same thing as you) acknowledged.
Do these editions have a decent-sized font? I have a Melville House edition and the font is way too small--something one can't know when ordering books online.
Ha!
A Canada Post van parked on a residential street.
Same van being loaded onto a tow truck.
Unusual to see a postal van parked outside for so long. I began to worry about the postman. Now it all becomes clear!
Dusk. On the snowy roof of a house, a female wild turkey walking along.
Silhouette, 6 p.m
(I did politely ask if I could be privy to their reasoning, so on Tuesday I'll be going in to the cancer centre to meet a doctor, one I've never met before and who wasn't the one who made this decision.)
A little rant about our hospital's "shared patient model." After surgery & chemo for ovarian cancer I next went on niraparib. My blood counts plummeted so drug was put on hold for 3 weeks. Today I'm instructed by the nurse to go back on. No explanation, no communication from any of the doctors. 😬
A residential street on a sunny afternoon. A man shovelling out the windrow at the end of a driveway, and a snow-covered car.
Shovelling slowly on this sunny day.

Ah, I read that book few years ago. A good one.
Pls forgive my pedantry (!) but that looks a teeny bit cropped. This is from NG website:
A hardcover copy of “The Broken Road” by Patrick Leigh Fermor.
You’ve prompted me to bring it out :)
Yes, I enjoyed those a lot, maybe about 15 years ago. And I have another, "The Broken Road - from the Iron Gates to Mount Athos" based on texts that he hadn't had time to finish when he died in 2011. But I haven't read it yet!
Manichaeism! She was drawn to it. (I've been reading Black Lamb and Grey Falcon.)
Inside page of Matt Cohen’s The Disinherited, with very yellowed paper
…with their yellowed pages!
A card with Lawren Harris’s First Snow, North Shore of Lake Superior (1923).
The snowy one made me look over at a card on the mantel (because echoes).
Such a feeling of lush depth, esp. in the left foreground
I wonder. We have two. They're good solid hangers, so I don't imagine people throw them out!
A wooden hanger with “Hollanderized garments keep their beauty longer” resting on a bookshelf.
I can’t resist:
A wild turkey huddled on a snowy back porch, next to some cedars.
5 p.m. She’s puffed up all her feathers on this very cold day.
Thanks.! I may try that for my very old cyclamen.
Lovely. What kind of soil is best for them?
A snowy backyard. A wild turkey launching herself off the back porch.
Same, but she is a bit higher up.
4:30 PM. And up she goes…
I'm somebody going through ov. cancer too, and I appreciate your posts. Best wishes.
Can I moan a bit about my ongoing peripheral neuropathy (an effect of the chemo I had)? Nerves were damaged in hands and feet. Feet numb and buzzy, and an unpleasant sensation when my fingertips touch anything, even turning pages of a book. I’m told it may go away eventually, they just can’t tell.
Ah, right across from Produce Depot. Will keep in mind—thanks!
