River

" Everything is on it's way to the river"
Ted Hughes

That includes this woman. Each day takes me to the Wensum : either along it, as in walking it yesterday, or over it, scuttling , en-route to my GP's to get my ears checked. This morning I decided : time to get them looked at & an hour later a good woman GP was doing just that. What service. Keep on gargling with salt is the message : stops the Eustachian tubes clogging up, which is when trouble starts.

I'm reading the wonderful Niall Williams 'History of the Rain', which is where I got the quote from. If you want something to savour, laugh with, read again---- I can recommend it. Pure Literary Irish Magic.
