The NHS Corridor of Eternity

The Current Mrs Creel Snr had an appointment in hospital so, for a pocket money bonus, I ran her through. The Specialist couldn't work out why so much sawdust is coming out of her lugs. On being discharged she had a craving for a jam doughnut so we went to the bakers. She hadn't been in Kirkwall for some months so I accompanied her as she did some light shop lifting.

On the way home, down Hobbister Brae, she asked me 'Iain' (for that is what she calls me in moments of levity) 'do you think it was Lukewarm who started the craze for men embroidering?'

Christopher Biggins is 70.
