A Visitor

Pic from yesterday around 08:30 am, boy, still pretty cold.
Went to see my doc to get a referral to an ear specialist.
My ear is still driving me nuts, constant swoosh.

At the bakery the baker-lady (here, around the corner) told me the price, I paid, she looked down and said something.
Not a chance, I had to ask back - it was "have a nice day".
Receptionist at doc also head down, asking something, had to ask back.

I really do think every one should make this "I cannot hear on one ear" experience for a week.
Why?
I have a friend who had a thankfully benign brain tumor and lost her left ear completedly.
I had no idea how bad that is in crowds!
Also because there are very dumb people around!

She is a nurse and her coordinator has the radio on, pretty loud, too.
She explained the situation and asked to turn it down (not out, down).
That lady turned it up! Happened a couple of times, my friend went to the boss who said as long as the patients don´t complain she can hear it as loud as she wants (and he knew about the deaf ear, too).
She complained in written form even and in the end had to quit.

How, just how???

For Saturday 26C are predicted - now, who is the visitor, summer or autumn?

Lion of the day - love how he´s holding the kid´s hands for a pic :-)
