Missed Norman’s Birthday on Saturday – Oops
Bottom of the class for me as I didn’t turn on the computer yesterday so belatedly want to wish Norman a very happy birthday from all of us. I’m sure there must have been scones with clotted cream and jam (in the Devonshire fashion) with jelly and ice cream plus an odd zoom meet up! …
See Through Scrubs – Ooh, Sounds like Carry on Nurse!
Had a funny email from Barbara P who had some sheets ready to be made into scrubs by Jill G‘s U3A group. Apparently white isn’t any good as it’s see through! It might make patients laugh which would be good for some but not for all of them! I never even crossed my mind about that. So, …

How Did Your Clapping Go?
It was really disappointing around where I live last night. Saw someone clapping from their window 100 yards away and a couple 100 yards in the other direction were there and from the block of flats opposite there were about 10 lots out. Everyone else say their applause evenings are getting stronger, so I’m not …
