Not at all. Most times, my Wife is lying on the next bed. She has Thai massage ( pressure points only) Whilst I have Oil massage.
Patients in the hospital clinic , and me included, tend to wander off and dream, as it is so relaxing, for the one and a half hours.
That is when I start to think of the places like Greggs, I miss till we get back, into the land of the living. Regards All, Don
LOL ...I am sure your mind wonders to Greggs

Our local High Street has /had one ,I think they do a really nice cheese and bacon 'something ' -do you know the name ?

Not long for you now ...

BTW,do you think your wife will enjoy bakery products ?

No Gab, she does not eat, Bread, Cakes nor Pastries - understandable really - They cannot do cakes - you should see them. All exactly the same, but some may have a cherry on top ( but not the glace' ones), they do have. cream, well it is what I call 'ersatz' - totally bland.. She will eat sausage, but uses lots of chilli on everything. - But Tesco/Lotus here, do sell French sticks! ... however, Greggs, I need to get shares, I think! love don

You haven't lived until you have sampled a Scottish tattie pancake and lorne sausage "roll" (that's not the same as a "sausage roll", but a "roll"/bun with tattie pancake and lorne/square sausage) ...

Hello Gab, Dunrovin, hasn't mentioned Haggis - you haven't lived till you have enjoyed, the whole thing - the 'piping in', the carving, and the fantastic taste. beautiful. but then, my Father served in the Black Watch, and my surname, is from Edinburgh, in 1294. love don

No,I haven't ever tried Haggis ..I am sure that the M&S one is not a patch on an authentic one

I should go back to visit Scotland someday ,I have only been to Glasgow once and that was working with Greek clients -nobody to even show me round lol !

Another bakery favourite has just come back to me ,Belgian Bun

I am sure Greggs has those too ...
