This morning a I had an appointment with Doctor Tadrous, who is a Copt from Egypt, whom I have been visiting for many years, The first visit is simple with a battery of tests, while the second one, to take place next month, he undertakes himself in his usual kind manner and has almost always given a good report. Thomas informed me that two garbage bags were left outside and one of Andy’s dogs tore it open, so the mess had to be cleaned up. Aside from this small piece of information, there is not much else that I can say.
