C&nt

 

Weaver as a baby

I saw a financial advisor today. 
I completed my application to the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society ) and paid my dues. I already have insurance in place and a new supervisor booked so I will take my paperwork into the counselling centre tomorrow in order to book my first clients.

This has given me some control back today 
An informal message support line continues amongst the hospice nursing and support worker staff, and I’m thankful for friends Ben, Louise, Rhian and Ruth for grounding me today. 
Ruth and I had lunch at Mostyn Galleries but neither of us could eat
I am feeling every inch my 63 years, this rollercoaster ride is not what you expect and want at any age let alone now in the autumn of my working career

But let’s change the subject
It’s  Bun & Weaver’s 1st birthday ( estimated lol)
This morning as I was FaceTiming with my financial advisor , he commented that a black cat had walked past me, tip toeing on the radiator top. The cat had stopped briefly by the reading chair, then smacked a shocked Roger in the gob before running out of the cat flap 
“ That’s Weaver” I told him “ she’s a cunt!”

A story

 

I may lose my job quite soon
The hospice is looking for redundancies 

I want to share one story 
A story that has nothing to do with matrixes or redundancy scenarios
It’s all about nursing.

A few years ago my gentle lonely patient asked me what my bucket list was
Of course it was all about her, but I shared gently that I had never danced in public even though my ex husband was a professional dancer
She smiled and giggled and asked me a favour
Would I dance with her ?
She told me that she loved that special dance on Ally McBeal and she asked if we could dance it together
And so we did, one morning after medicine round

We pushed the drawer set against the door, so no one would walk in 
And we watched the video together
And then  we danced 
She in pyjamas and big fluffy slippers
Me in my uniform and fat belly

She died the next day
And I was with her
And it was the worst and best day at work ever

I may lose my job soon
But I know I delivered that day with that special patient 

Every nurse at risk of redundancy will have a similar story

Redundancy

See the statement below

It means nursing jobs  in Holyhead and Llandudno are at risk of redundancy both sites will lose staff

A very sad day

Wine Tasting

Dave & The Velvet Voiced Linda

 It was lovely to be with my Trelawnyd Village Family tonight.A lovely bunch and I was so moved that they gave me a toast and a round of applause for my graduation 









Wine

 I covered night shift sickness last night
It’s too hot too sleep today 34 degrees
This fun tonight


John Gray- The Next Chapter

Things have an energy all of their own don’t they?
I saw my last counselling client as a student yesterday and found out that the mental health charity I’m working with  has taken me on as a sessional professional counsellor. 
My next client will be paying for my services
Bloody hell.
I had a rush of “imposter syndrome” yesterday, but my new supervisor grounded me with some pragmatic words and useful advice.
Part time now I will be self employed for the first time in the 45 years of my employment history 
I can do it
My twin sister did the same during Covid 




Today I’ve been planning things around the Flower Show. I’m now working tonight to cover sickness so will be off the entire weekend which will nice given I’m going to the village hall’s wine tasting evening tomorrow night ! 
Above is the community Associations’ wild flower meadow and orchard. There are apples on the trees which may be harvested free  by the villagers when they ripen. It’s a great initiative 
The novelty veg photos have been coming in too, we just need a few more please


It’s a hot day 
Thanks to villager Sandra and her hubby Robert for donating a new cup for the show 


The new Barbara Parry and Rowenna Price Memorial Cup 

And finally a big thank you to villagers Nick and The Velvet Voiced Linda for my graduation gift 






Bwthyn y llan


 Ma Manley has added my cottage to her history book of Trelawnyd.
This has pleased me greatly. I feel honoured to have my own page so to speak.
In Welsh Bwthyn translates as “Cottage” where as y llan means “an enclosure, a religious place of settlement or even a Church” So my home can be known as Church Cottage in English . 
In its past it was known as Llan Cottage no 1 and the two cottages together as a generic Tan y Fynwent ( under the Graveyard)
