'Bigger Than Rod'

Hello! You know I felt quite upbeat today! - What could that be all about?
Walking to work today was superficially what seems to be the usual Saturday /Sunday morning experience, passing the Pizza shop / Off license / Indian Takeaway, whilst nimbly avoiding the detritus of the night before - usually half eaten kebabs and Jackson Pollack Style arrangements of Vomit. Somehow today it didn't seem too bad , the freezing cold, the dark, the anonymous shuttered shops, the lonely grey streets, and ultimately the monolithic faceless Hospital itself (why do all hospital appear as homogeneous slabs theses days - modern architecture is 99% rubbish!). However this brief fumble with optimism was severely tested by the usual array of post New Years Drunks, endless variations on abdominal pain, and seemingly endless constipation ( yes the patients) . But as I sit here sipping the inevitable glass of red wine, things don't seem all that bad - What disaster has fate in store for me??

(and yes I drink tea!)
