Finding the humor in life is a skill honed and presented by Shirley Nicholson in Thoughts While Waiting in the Doctor's Office. In this collection of thirty-six essays and memoirs, Nicholson entertains by capturing the funny events in her life and through her observations. From puberty to dating, from marriage to honeymoons, from housework to pets, Nicholson writes about these events with warmth. She pokes fun of her tooth fairy stint, her klutziness, and her parenting skills. In "I Was a Teenage Car Thief!", she tells the story of inadvertently becoming a car thief when a salesman at her father's store gave her his car keys and permission to drive the car. She retrieved the vehicle from the location where she thought the salesman said he parked his car, drove it around town, and later returned it to the store's back lot. When the salesman left for the day, he returned and announced that the car parked in the back lot wasn't his. Without realizing it, Nicholson had stolen a car. Laugh along with Thoughts While Waiting in the Doctor's Office as Nicholson reveals the day-to-day wit in her comic strip of life.

Thoughts While Waiting in the Doctor's Office

"I've learnt", Shirley Nicholson writes, "to listen to island talk" and this book proves the truth of that, with its close observation of the birds, animals and people of Fair Isle, and the note it strikes, again and again, of wonder at her good fortune in finding herself on this northern island. But Nicholson's poems are more than tributes to what that place's winds blow in her direction. Nicholson is also both an observer and practitioner of what she calls "island skills" and these poems nip at their lines, cast off images, and steadily stitch together memorable patterns which are possessed by a singing weather of their own. - John McAuliffe It's not often that someone can come in on a small island community and understand the rhythm of life in all its cyclical glory, and portray it with such detailed beauty and understanding, but that's exactly what Shirley has achieved with her heartfelt portrayal of Fair Isle, its people, wildlife, seasons and landscape. She weaves the past into the present in a tantalising journey through the island, drawing the reader in, and painting a beautiful technicolour portrait in words and verse of island life. - Laurie Goodlad
