Right … it’s officially Wednesday.
Which means I’ll be looking after my nephew, this afternoon: for the second day in a row.
I’m looking forward to it: it’ll be interesting to see what his next video will be like.
Talking of which?
We have more Bobby the Cat videos.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* Hello, Mum!
† A QR code could be good, Olga: as could GPS. I’d imagine specific map apps could work, as well: although they’d take a while to put together, I think. Some lines on the London Underground let you use mobile phones: so I assume map apps would work, there, too.
Actually, I’ve got vague memories of something helpful in Star Trek: The Next Generation. That version of the USS Enterprise had computer screens all over the place: that could show new crew members around. I’m blowed if I could find a clip, though.
Hang on, this Hospital Clínic, Olga? It looks huge … !
‡ I get the impression, Debbi, the US evangelical movement’s been trying to ignore the First Amendment view of it, for years. I seem to remember reading, somewhere, that they wanted to originally support President Carter: except he was a little too pro-choice for their comfort.
Oh, I have “Q Who?” on in the background: the first Borg episode. It’s interesting to hear it, again. I think who-ever designed some of the sets — the wall panels in particular — had looked to H. R. Giger for inspiration.
Q1) the International Criminal Court

Q3) humanity

Q5) London
All good suggestions. And yes, "that" Hospital Clínic. It is a rather big hospital and keeps growing. In fact, it's taken over some buildings around it, for outpatient clinics, etc., and it runs some smaller hospitals, like a maternity hospital near us (next door to Football Club Barcelona Stadium), where they also do eye surgery. It had 1000 beds or thereabouts when I was a student, but it must be bigger by now. It wasn't too complicated to find your way around, as it had the shape of a U, with the frontal of the hospital, and different staircases, the odd numbers on one side and the even on the other side. They always told you wich staircase you had to use and which floor, so it wasn't complicated. They ended up building a building inside of the patio in the middle, for A&E, with a direct entry to street (on the back) for the ambulances, on the -1 floor. The School of Medicine was on the back of the hospital, so it was handy for our practical stays (although we were spread out into other nearby hospitals as well), and there were a few classrooms in the hospital itself.
This one, Sant Pau, is another one of the big hospitals in Barcelona. It is modernist (art nouveau style, well, our version, called modernism). The hospital is still working, but they don't use the old buildings anymore. They have become a big attraction for visitors and rightly so. Wonderful.

There are other big hospitals in Barcelona and several much smaller ones, like the one my mother went to, although it isn't tiny.
