I’m very glad to have had so many responses to my last post about seeing/not seeing the photos on my blog. There seems to be consensus on the theory I had begun to form.
In the words of one reader: “I have a simple solution, I just scroll to the bottom of your post and click on the link “Venice: I am not making this up” and it takes me to your blog page and I read your post there.”
Other readers, you’ll see in the Comments, have said the same. Would any previous non-seers let me know if this solution works for them?

I was blind bur now I see.
Many thanks-
The times when carpentry and surgery were intertwined are fortunately long gone so he or she might still be a fairly competent physician even if the door is warped, but I think I’d sneak away as well. 🙂
I don’t recall having problems seeing pictures on your blog so I can’t really provide intelligent input there.
All the best from Solna!
It was barbers and surgeons that were intertwined, wasn’t it? It seems that the chap who ‘fitted’ the door had a sloping floor to contend with. Perhaps he’s coming back tomorrow to finish the job?
I’m convinced it was the sloping floor, which wasn’t discernible till he had the door to deal with. Cheaper and easier to modify the door than the floor. However, if a doctor is more skilled in resolving symptoms than causes, well….
Thanks, Andreas. Well, I have to admire a person who doesn’t let a little out-of-plumb problem stop him from achieving his goal (a door that closes). Now that I think of it, that door may be the best review ever of a doctor. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Vianello. Feeling a little off kilter today? I know just what to do.” But no.
I would be inclined to agree with Andreas. If you were seeing the doctor for major reconstructive surgery there may be a concern or at least check out whether he does his own DIY projects around the office.
Sloppy with doors and accurate with patients? Rather unlikely!
Of course. I’m going to take it further into the realm of “impossible.” But then again, we’re all supposed to recycle and “re-purpose” our stuff, so I guess he’s admirable in that he didn’t throw it away. Translation: Doesn’t throw his patients away. But I stick with “trust your instincts.”….
But isn’t the door clean! That must be good.
It’s a start, that’s true. If my problem were dirty doors he’d definitely have been my man.
Did you visit him because of vertigo, or balance problems?
I guess if I had balance problems the door would have looked straight? Quick diagnosis technique! (In fact, no. Our only problem was finding a new family doctor to sign up with, as per national health system.) It wasn’t him.
This must be a plot for a Russian short story (or novel?) about a doctor who failed because of a crooked door? Imagine the literary legacy of his despair!
That works!
Bringing my Grandchildren to Italy and will be visiting Venice from May 12 to 16 th. Can’t wait to share my favorite city with them.
I enjoy your stories and photos.
Thanks,
