Today is the Birthday of Henry Dunant, Founder of the Red Cross and recipient of the first ever Nobel Peace Prize.
To honour his famous namesake Henry decided to celebrate Red Cross Day and have Pip and me take our annual medical examination.
Pip and I got a bit worried when he started to bandage us and take out some very dubious looking eucalyptus pills while happily whistling a tune, but in the end it was all alright.
He came to the conclusion that we were quite healthy, gave each of us a cookie and sent us on our way.
Phew!
