Going Gently

Fire

Across the bay from the hospice is Conwy mountain and beyond that is Sychnant Pass. Today a large mountain fire has raged and I stopped on the way to work to photograph it.

Villages and farms have been evacuated today in scenes not unlike the ones from Spain

Two very different pieces of music , the first is husband and wife Suzi and Giuseppe,sharing a sweet duet the second is that old Welsh Welsh trooper Bonnie Tyler. I saw her at the City Hall Sheffield in 1989

What a gal

11th July 2018

Facebook reminded me of 11th of July 2018 . It was a selfie I took on the day my husband collected his belongings from Bwthyn Y Llan. The dogs and I walked up the Gop to be out of the way and although it was warm , Mary shivered in the wind so much that I shared my hoodie with her as she gazed across the valley

Rip Her Bra Off!

Well even hospice nurses need resuscitation training.

And today was the day.

I learned two things this afternoon that I didn’t know previously

Women fair worse in resus scenarios because their boobs get in the way
And most modern defibrillators will digitally record sound the last arrest situation they are used in ,

Both interesting facts to know eh?

A nursing sister I knew in Sheffield often recalled the time she fainted outside Cole Brothers in Barker’s Pool. She regained her senses just in time as an over enthusiastic first aider was shouting to a fellow helper

“ Quick Rip her Bra off! “

This story always tickled me greatly and I recounted the story to my colleagues, much to their surprise

I will leave you with some late entries in the wall art exhibition
