I really must learn to keep out of foreign politics😁
Then later I asked the nurse who was taking my bloods, a bit too tight for my liking on the elastic band😟 if she was Polish. NO RUSSIAN she said loudly! Oh have you lived here long? 20 years. Mentioned my visit there in 80s, and “nice” Gorbachev. Huh she snorted PUTIN is the man and she lived good life in the Motherland growing up, her father was in the KGB. Yes really. Wanted to say maybe that’s why you lived a good life.😆 Thought better not mention the poisonings and submarine in our waters now snooping around. Then she yelled I HATE THE AMERICANS. Everyone turned round, so this crying Polish woman who I had spoken to before, trying to comfort her as worrying about dying and leaving her young son...been there.. shouted out I HATE THE RUSSIANS. I decided this is where I need to shuffle off to the cafe and meet my lovely old lady with the 80 yr old tortoise...left in her Will to the RSPCA. (PS. All the other nurses were from The Philippines and just carried on in their usual quiet manner).😉
