A Tuesday in mid-May

Not a lot to report today, a typical Tuesday lunch time session. My assistant Josie and I ate lunch at the Oxygen Treatment desk, whilst we ran the dive, and chatted a lot. Today's dive was without any problems and ran smoothly from start to finish. We spoke with Jan, who was pricing up items for sale at the Centre, which had been kindly donated to us by people. There were a large amount of collectible spoons which I am going to look up on eBay, see what sort of price range we can expect to get for them if we sell them that way. Loads of other things too, so it's always worth having a little look when you visit the centre, see what there is.

Jan Turner is one of the people who took part in the Letchworth Garden City Rotary Club Greenway Challenge - hmmm, that's even a mouthful as an acronym, so perhaps better to say - Jan was one of those people who did a "charity walk" to help raise funds for the Centre last Sunday!! She showed us a few pictures, and said it was a nice walk - she completed the 15 miles in 4.5 hours (including a couple of stops), which is impressive.

Once (3 or 4 years ago) my wife Mandy and I, and one of our sons, attempted to walk the circumference of Letchworth (which is what the 'Greenway' essentially is), but we miscalculated and it ended up being probably the hottest day of that Summer! We got about a quarter of the way around before giving up and desperately heading into the town centre for ice cream and cold drinks (and shade!!) It is a nice walk though, so perhaps next year I might take up the Challenge myself and try and raise some money.

Not much else to report today... Apparently the Tuesday evening Oxygen Treatment session has stopped running for the time being. People have changed to other days and times. It can always be re-started if it is required, or requested... I am back in to run a double session tomorrow morning -

Bye for now,

Rod
