More Things on the Internet...

This is funny, a general knowledge quiz that guesses your age according to your answers. Apparently I'm 66! Which I think is a bit generous considering how I didn't know what year John Lennon was assassinated in... What's the difference between being assassinated and being murdered? I get it if there's some kind of political motive, but surely as a pop star you're just murdered?

How cute is this!

And then this is the greatest idea ever!

Fun things this week

I'm sure I've missed out lots of fun things I've done with my friends, but I may as well start somewhere.

I had a pretty rubbish week at work, but the evenings/weekend have been great.

Last Sunday my church had "super Sunday" which involved us having a massive BBQ in a field on the edge of Dartmoor, with a bouncy castle and volley ball and rounders and sunbathing (I think I told you about this already).

Then on Monday I had some friends over for a BBQ, mix of church + work friends.

Tuesday I was on a long day so no random fun times. Wednesday I finished really late, but as soon as I got home we headed to the beach and had a beach BBQ over a driftwood fire and went swimming in the dark in our underwear/some random shorts the boys had brought:









On Friday I went to this concert that my church ran in a vineyard which was really great, and on Saturday I went to Jacob's ladder again with Pia, Saira and her boyfriend Shan.








And today I went to a church friend's birthday brunch this morning, then me + Pia cycled along the river and picked some elderflowers and made elderflower cordial!




So it's been a busy week! Don't want to go back to work tomorrow...

Oh and here's a picture of the first sweet pea flower in the garden! Hopefully there will be many more to follow! Maybe I should give them some tomorite...

What My Patients Said Vol 2

"I'm 107 years old so I don't have to go to work" (He was actually 106, but still very impressive!)

Octogenarian enjoying swaying to some music... 
Pt: "Everyone's good at dancing"
Occupational therapist: "Not everyone... I'm not v good at dancing"
Pt: "That's because you're fat"
OT: "..."

82 year old bed bound dementia patient spent the whole of the ward round saying "Is there anything I can help you with dear?" and "Are you sure I can't do anything to help?"

And finally my favourite... Trying to persuade a lady to have a catheter: "I'm 86 years old, I have enough problems without you trying to shove something up me!"
