I have only one unpleasant memory of the summer holidays in Norway. We were in my grandparents? house in Oslo and my mother said to me, “We are going to the doctor this afternoon. He wants to look at your nose and mouth.”

I think I was eight at the time. “What?s wrong with my nose and my mouth?” I asked.
„Nothing much,? my mother said. „But I think you?ve got adenoids.?
„What are they?? I asked her.
Don?t worry about it,? she said. „It?s nothing.?

I held my mother?s hand as we walked to the doctor?s house. It took us about half an hour. There was a kind of dentist?s chair in the surgery and I was lifted into it. The doctor had a round mirror strapped to his forehead and he peered up my nose and into my mouth. He then took my mother aside and they held a whispered conversation. I saw my mother looking rather grim, but she nodded.
