Let me know what you see when you look at this.

I've eaten breakfast and am sat in the lounge, hunched over The Herald, failing to do the crossword. This is my morning tradition. One day I'm going to complete the crossword. And on that day, my brains will come down my nose.
A Techy course chatters on the couches behind me. One of them slumps into the upholstery.
"Oh GOD - I feel like I've been here FOREVER."
An artery begins to twitch in my temple as I turn round.
"Forever?"
"Yeah."
"You're on....what? Week three?"
"Yeah."
Synapses fire, I wrestle to keep my voice even.
"I'm starting week thirteen, total time here. After three weeks WE'RE allowed to start going crazy; YOU should still be bouncing about and having fun. Your tolerance should still be high enough to be smiling through it all. I, on the other hand, am beginning to fantasise about riding a tricycle up and down the geometrically carpetted corridors upstairs. I've got a typewriter all inked and ready. I'm super fly TNT. Another ten weeks in here? Fuck no, not today, thank you kindly."
They stare at me. I smile, pop the creases back into the paper and stride off to class.
An A&E senior doctor delivers an excellent lecture on trauma, explaining and illustrating all the hellish complicated physics bits with real life examples. He then talks us through assessing a trauma patient, we feverishly scribble down notes and points he raises as "important". He'll be assessing us at the end of the week, so it's only wise to do it 'his' way
He's friendly, easy-going and pragmatic - "We're nothing more than inflated mechanics, we just put air and water in the machine in increasingly clever ways." - and when we laugh at his attempts to draw pictures he laughs back and invites us all to fuck off.
Lecturers like this, I could get used to.
We spend the afternoon revising his lesson, I discover "Don Juan Syndrome" - a combination of bilateral broken heels and spinal damage, most commonly found in people who jump from upstairs windows and balconies.
Ahhh medics, sick fuckers to the end.
Benito rolls into the classroom and asks me - "Aramis? Who's that?"
I tell him.
"Why Aramis? We googled it, it's a wee bird thing with long legs and a big nose, he's not happy."
I realise I've mispelled it - I KNEW I couldn't spell D'Artagnan (see?) but thought I'd made a good stab of it. I explain the situation and avoid having my head kicked in by the teaching staff.

One for the camera techies:
On the way home last week I spotted this young buck in a field of rape peppered with poppies. I like it and it ticks most of the right boxes for a decent wildlife photograph. But the thing that stands this shot apart is the fact that it was taken at past 9pm in very low light. I took it from the car window on a 200mm lens. This shot is number 25 of 25. So its a double wow shot as I managed to fire off so many of this usually timid animal. Upping the ante as I shot, number 1 was fired at fast shuter with high iso 3200 which is almost as good as this one which was taken, whilst resting the lens on the car window sill at 1/4 second on lowest iso. So, amazing that he stood and posed for so long ( about 15 minutes ) and the satisfaction a top end camera gives. It may pay for itself when using it professionally but more importantly , I think, is that it gives me outstanding pinsharp results for family or opportunitiy shots like this. ...Nikon baby!
