Knowing damn well no one else would think of it, this afternoon I walked in to work half an hour early to clear a path from the pavement to the front door of our surgery. Certainly it did not occur to my partner who was in this morning. His family back home in Benares is probably of very high caste; I'm sure it is against their religion, or at least custom, to engage in any kind of manual work. But if a patient slipped and hurt themselves on our practice premises and we had done nothing to alleviate the conditions underfoot it could make some ugly publicity for us.
In the event it took only about 15 minutes, which I have counted towards my weekly work-outs. It certainly warmed me up nicely!
