“A socle differs from a pedestal in being without base or cornice.”

Gotta go for now. Mama P is in the hospital (as of last night). Probably should take her some bedroom shoes and socles.

Hope it is nothing serious. Bed clothes would be a good idea too, considering hospital gowns. But, then, you’d have to do the laundry, you ironmonger, you.

I won’t say that it’s not serious, but this happens two or three times a year. She has lots of chronic health problems, which, in turn, lead to more problems. Every now and then, she need more medical attention than we can provide.
