Ruth Chatterton’s Beefsteak a la Victor Hugo

Ruth
Exhausted by a day of battles with healthcare professionals I was craving a big hairy steak so I bought an EXPENSIVE bit of organic rump on the way back to the Wood. It appears that with just a week’s notice, funding for my disease modifying drug has been withdrawn.
