Hospitals and Lentils
We had an adventure last night, of sorts. Holly was still feeling very unwell, even though she'd been getting better earlier (hence me showing her Haunted Junction on video), so I told Viv and Anna to call NHS Direct as I finished fixing up dinner. Their eventual advice was to take her to the nearest A&E, so we all bundled out to Anna's car at 11:30, with me taking as much of the freshly-cooked dinner as possible, including a saucepan of lentils. I was also trying to figure out where the nearest hospital was, and how to get there, and we eventually went to St. Peter's Runnymede Hospital in Chertsey, having taken a convient backroad there from Virginia Water station. The hospital was built in such a way that, after dropping Holly and Viv off at A&E, we had to walk four sides of a pentagon to get from the car park back to A&E. It didn't help that the hospital was well-lit, but devoid of people, and that it resembled a WW2-era barracks. Then we had to wait for half an hour before Viv told us what was going on, and half an hour later, we were on our way back.

Holly's okay. It's just a very bad migraine, and she had new medication, so we're all hoping that will work! I was the only one to end up eating the lentils, however, so I'll do a new batch for tonight to make up for it. Ahh, I do love cooking, provided it involves seasonings. I am the Queen of Seasonings! Actually, I just have a load of herbs and spices...

Anna spends her days sitting in room listening to showtunes and writing slashy Potterfic. I'm sure she'll fit in fine here. Helen has gone off on a canal trip from London to Leighton Buzzard and back, which is leaving things a little late for term (Fresher's week is but 8 days away! *dies*). Brian has just arrived, having taken his family with him from Kings Lynn, but in terms of moving in, the gang's all here. It's different from how it was over the Summer, but it's nice. There are people there, and we help each other. We're in for a good year. Cooking for everyone is difficult though, even when Brian sorts out his own meals. This is a house of fussy eaters!
