Typical Monday

What a rainy night last night, and also this morning. Luckily it stopped raining before I set off from home to walk to the Centre today. It takes me around 25-30 minutes to walk, and as we don't have a car, that suits me fine :) Besides, it gives me a chance to listen to some music on my mp3 player as I'm walking along...

Today was a typical Monday afternoon - it's always very busy at first, but then by about 2pm it all goes very quiet, with just a few people coming and going. The 'dive' went well - it's a 24' one on a Monday afternoon, and we usually have just 2 or 3 regulars in the chamber. The Monday 13:30 dive was the session which I started on, as a No. 2 Operator with Arthur as No. 1, a little over 3 years ago now. I took over as No. 1 after 6 or 7 months. So that session has special significance for me, and also of course those members who take part in it :)

I received my certificate today to say that I am now senior No. 1 at the centre, which is a nice gesture. I also have to get all the other No. 1 certificates signed (part of new my duties now!) It is a bit tricky as not all the No. 1's attended the annual meeting, but they all are to get a certificate declaring them competent and fully up to speed... Maybe they ought to have a refresher test or something, I don't know...

I'm back in tomorrow, when we will have a new potential volunteer coming in to observe an Oxygen Treatment Session. I will try and write again tomorrow about that -

All the best,

Rod
