The first ever Christmas Eve Night I worked
was in 1985 when I had one blood sample all night long. Last night I had forty-eight blood counts, thirty-four coagulation investigations, one blood group to perform and
one unit of platelets to issue. I wouldn’t say it was busy, but the work
remained constant.
The roads were quiet
coming home, but not as quiet as that Christmas morning in 1985 when my dad
collected me at nine o’clock and we only saw six other cars on the road as we
drove from Ashford to Hastings.
I got home to find everyone still in bed. Once I’d showered and
shaved I dozed on the sofa for an hour until everyone else was up. “Darcie
Waa Waa TM” had been restless last night. We opened pressies,
and had another kip whilst “er indoors TM” boiled up
dinner, then had a rather good dinner, then another kip, the scoffed some more…
That was how today went. A rather subdued day with scoffing
interspersed by having a kip. We scoffed a lot and had several kips.
A rather good Christmas… I’m pleased “er indoors TM”
liked her pressie.
