Busyness As Usual
12:53pm Friday 19th March 2010
It’s been a busy week in our hospitals. I know that’s not particularly unusual as our hospitals are always busy, but this week seems to have been relentless. I’ve been looking back at my diary to see why it has felt different this week. Before I describe my week, remember I am not a clinician, so there will be no stories of heroic deeds by me – maybe others, but not by me.

Putting things off makes it worse
3:47pm Friday 12th March 2010
I’ve just had a couple of weeks off work trying to catch up on the jobs I’ve been putting off for a while – not an unfamiliar story in our house. One of those jobs was to re-roof my shed. We all know that a shed is a great place for men to hide and mine is no exception. I have been putting off the dreaded moment; patching up where I can, putting buckets where I can’t. So I book the last two weeks off in February. What happens? It snows, it rains and it’s freezing. I manage to empty the shed of all those ‘you never know when you might want one of those’ items and the old bits of wood, half full tins of paint, the old fridge that was going to contain the sly bottle of beer, about a dozen huge spiders and off-cuts of carpet that must have been in my house one day but I don’t recall when. I put them all in a heap in the garden (and under a tarpaulin of course because it’s still raining). Now I have a shed with a leaky roof and an eyesore in the garden – I’ve made things worse.
