Busyness As Usual
Posted on 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.

Bags of Charity going to Waste?
Posted on 5:18pm Friday 12th March 2010
Costly to produce and distribute, why are some of our better known charities literally dumping unused bags on our doorsteps? Are they just TOO rich?

Putting things off makes it worse
Posted on 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.

Herts’ working parents take control of the work-life balance
Posted on 11:51am Thursday 11th March 2010
Parenting stories are hugely prominent in the news of late. Whether it’s talk of the approach of Mothering Sunday (14th March), proposed changes in paternal working rights, or recent research into the long-term cost of childcare, the words on everyone’s lips this week are ‘Mum’ and ‘Dad’. Business Link in the East of England’s latest survey celebrates the important role Hertfordshire’s working parents play in the county.

AT LAST, AT LAST - DAFFODILS ARE HERE!
Posted on 6:38pm Sunday 7th March 2010
I have heard from several reliable sources that spring has been on hold and is running four to five weeks late. As if we hadn’t noticed. Given the cold and miserable weather of the last few months I think we can be forgiven for getting excited over the first sighting of this year’s crop of daffodils, with their glorious bright colour. Driving to St Albans a few days ago I was enchanted to see the progress the plants were making and that at long last they are beginning to show colour.
