WEEK-END WOMANSENSE
NO FEARFUL ORIES... NO BATTLE-AXE OF A NURSE TO BLAST THE EARLY MORNING, PEACE
IT'S THE LIFE FOR ME
Veronica Papworth reports on 3 weeksTM of bliss
TAVER since I was old enough to open
my
mouth and say "Ah-h-h" the medical world has been after my tonsils.
Well they have them now and the best of luck to them.
Me? I've swopped them for something I've wanted for years and never until now achieved -three weeks of bliesful, Idle, self-indulgent nothingness.
For me, a visit to the hospital han always had an end product.
Never before have I left without a scarlet- faced cocoon in a ahawi and my fingers crossed: "Oh Lord, tet all be peace until feeding time.” -
Tonsila are undeniably different. No fearful cries awake one at dawn.
No battle-nxe-of-a- sister--- (scarlet-faced scrap under one arm) blasta the peace of the early morning with glad erics of "Come on mother somobody else wants his early morning cuppa."

That kind of thing can' happen twiec, and he knew It.
"It's glorious being home," I said to my older son-"if I stay here much louper I won't want to go back to work,"
