Mundane News

I've slept most of today. I've been really tired. I was trying to have a nap on the settee when Georgie came along and bit my big toe twice. I don't know if he was seeing if I was still alive but it got me moving. He then jumped up on to my legs and settled down for a nap.

Mundane work day interrupted by what was going to a reasonably leisurely Co-Op trek. That was until I found Kelly's ice cream on offer along with the fact I had a 50p app voucher for the same. So it was a rather fast walk home.

The last two early evenings the vans alarm has gone off just as the day light had gone. So hard to see what issue was, on the way back from my afternoon walk I spotted the issue. The over wintering lacewing had wake up and was flying round the cab. So grabbed the the key and soon had it free. I'm quite happy that it made though winter they are not as common now and are so useful in garden pest control.

I had a "near miss" at the Hopsital this afternoon. Long story short, a nurse was moving one of those screens that are solid panels on wheels. I was about to sit down after my treatment. The screen toppled over, and that fell on a blood pressure machine which then toppled over nearly landing my head. If I had been sitting down, it would have landed on my head. There are four hooks sticking out at the top and the monitor "box" has sharp corners. The screens are heavy.

Another member of staff was quickly on the scene to try to do something. The staff admitted that the screens were not fit for purpose, as they are not stable when concertinaed up. I do not think they are very stable at all, centre of gravity and all that.

I told the two members of staff that they should submit a "near miss" report.
