Phew! Found a bathroom! Not really ...hahhahaaa.
!! the walls! same colour and same material as Nans! :o0
Same material and colour as my Great Aunt's also Simon! However she had pink roses as accents on haberdashery ... there isn't a towel here not to mention paper!
I swear this looks like my old high school Home Economics wing.
...and also my old hospital.
I believe you Ces and you're not THAT old ... ;)
What did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you. Looks just like the path to the Isolation ward where we had cholera, tb and other contagious diseases. I was the student head nurse. There was a patient who stayed there for years because he was blind and had tb. His family did not want him back. He knew me from my sister (also) a nurse, based on the sound of my gait.
Cholera, TB and other diseases were here Ces! The open verandahs between sections make sense for containment and isolation procedures. Sad about that patient's family. Wonder if that fellow would have grown to recognise my gait ... it's very quiet and hardly there at all ... like a ghosts!
He would have probably heard you flap your wings and say "Anon, is that you?" like he said "Ms. Adorio, the Younger, is that you?" and then smile. I think he was cured by then. This hospital looks so much better than the one where I trained. It was for indigent patients, very poor, very very poor. Kids were dying of malnutrition and had marasmus kwashiorkor. I did my first post-mortem care on a pediatric patient. His mother was wailing beside me. I was sixteen years old and did not know what to do or say. I just let her hold him for a while. It was surreal having young and pretty nurses scurry about, some of whom came from wealthy families caring for the very sick and poor patients. It was just like yesterday. I remember the smell.
I guess that isn't a nice fresh hospital smell of Phenol you're remembering Ces ... *flapping wings to clear the air*
Whew so it wasn't the smell you made in the bathroom...
:-)
NO Caroline! That's from Ces's living memories ;)
Oh dear... that's the pits isn't it?
Yes, I think they did use a pit. Not a laughing matter really ...
Odd how we waste water to get rid of manure isn't it?
It would be better to dig it back into the ground and plant vegetables, or a tree on top of the pit but it washed away onto the beach used by First Class Passengers only here ... heehee. So did other excrements ...
