A Strange Place

The internet makes this hospital look pretty flash, but it’s not. The building has an interesting history. The building is heritage listed although it was only built in 1977 as a residential trade union training college. Its architecture is quite weird, in my opinion. 

It is well set up with a very good gym and swimming pool. I doubt Keith will be in the pool. His bathers were bought about 1950 and he complains that the elastic is no good. 

His room is much smaller than the last one, but the physio has set him up with an air mattress and a good air sitting cushion for his chair. There’s tea making facilities but no patients’ kitchen, so I can’t heat up any home cooked “real” food. 

Keith is not sleeping well here and not feeling too good. I think the move and unfamiliar surroundings and staff are all a bit much for him. And, they bring him dinner at 5:30pm, which, he reminded me, is really 4:30pm. 

Oh dear, I might spoil him by going in again tomorrow - not that I want to - way too hot all week.  Ranging between 35 and 42 degrees. 

No fires near us yet. 🙏
