Although the photographs were taken on the following 2 days I have to admit that the writing happened on Friday the 24th. The reason for the delay in writing may be obvious from the photograph. I was having lunch on Tuesday when I took a call from Julie who was having a repeat attack of her ventricular tachycardia, in other words rapid heartbeat and associated problems. What was remarkable was that a year ago to the day the same thing happened. Last year as with this year an ambulance was called and poor Julie ended up in Swindon's Great Western Hospital A&E department. As with last year I drove over from work and met Julie in the hospital. Unlike last year when I drove to Swindon in a blizzard and ended up in The Holiday Inn Express in Swindon due to being snowbound after a few hours, today it was just heavy rain. The important thing was that Julie was in a good hospital being looked after, which after 6 hours she was moved into the 'Linnet' ward, Acute Medical. Once she was settled I left at 9.15pm and headed home taking this photo on the way out as a reminder of a bizarre anniversary of being in the same hospital 365 days apart.
