I'm Back ....
... And it was fun, but exhausting.
Lots of walking, lots of sight-seeing ... and maybe (!) a few photos. It will be some time before I get them edited as I am working over the next couple of days.
I worked this morning, and it was certainly a hectic shift ... they had booked in two 9am patients, so we spent the whole shift running late. Oh well, at least it wasn't our fault. But luckily they were nice people, although the 5 year old looked absolutley petrified (and that was before she met me!). Sadly a lot of the kids we see, and she was one, are born with health problems so have been in and out of hospital all the time. For some it means they take it all as "normal", but for others it is a fear of further surgery.
Now shopping done, and I am here to post this brief note, before starting to sort photos. I am not going to be around over the next couple of days as I am working longer days, and have a music rehearsal for the carol service (I missed last weeks first rehearsal, so hopefully all will go well there).
I will, however, try and catch up with you later ... but before I do some photos ...
15. Pick up the nearest book (magazine or any available printed material will do). Turn to page 24 (or the closest to it). Go to the 7th line. What is it?
"... your souls will fly to Yasukuni, there to watch forever over ..."
One of my WWII history books. This one is about the battle of Okinawa
16. "Live hard, die young and leave a beautiful corpse" ~OR~ "Live long and prosper"?
Life is for living ... so live long & prosper. In human terms a corpse is a corpse.
17. What are you most likely very wrong about?
Nothing!!!!
Or should I say that it's too much to actually list.
Right, I must get on.
