Things have been going well at the MS Centre lately, and I do apologise again for not updating this blog for ages. I have been doing plenty of O2 Therapy sessions and (hopefully) helping lots of people in the process. There has been some work going on upstairs, above the oxygen tank and reception, which has been a bit on the noisy side at times. Hopefully they are finishing up now though. Nicki has had a proper office built up there, so she doesn't just have a little corner in what essentially was a large cupboard any more!! Good for her. They have also knocked through into the CVS (Centre for Voluntary Services) office and put a door in, which will save a lot of time for people (especially Nicki) getting around the Centre...
Unfortunately I did not get to the Scarecrow Festival last weekend, though I hear it went very well this year. There was some slight disappointment on the Saturday as there was rain which dampened people's spirits and enthusiasm somewhat... but other than that... Well, we made over £180 from the sales of cakes which many people had made specially (my wife Mandy and I made a big chocolate cake this year, which turned out nicely - hard to part with it, but we can always make another!) - and the tombola stall made £285, which is just fantastic. Yeah, I know, I'm repeating stuff I already posted on the FB Page Wall..! :)
I hope everyone enjoyed looking at the photos of the 10 winners from the Scarecrow Festival this year that I posted the other day. It is clear that people put a lot of hard work and effort into designing and creating these. If I have one slight quibble with them though... well, to my mind, they are so good that many of them do not actually resemble scarecrows at all... (or is that the point, to make them not look like scarecrows..?) Some of them could be mannequins, there's not a stick of straw in sight... But I'm just being picky (I'm sure old Wurzel Gummage is spinning in his... where do they put dead scarecrow people..? Answers on a postcard) I must try to get to the Festival next year and experience it for myself.
The first session this Friday morning has been cancelled, so I could've had a bit more of a lie in. Particularly as the weather today is so uninviting out there... Hmmm... The second one is going ahead, which is a 33 ft dive. It will be the end of our latest New Starter's initial 15 sessions, so she will decide which depth she prefers and hopefully slot into one of the regular sessions. A very friendly lady, she has told us that she very quickly began feeling the benefits of the O2 therapy, which is always great to hear.
Okay - I'm off to kill a little time and then head over the to Centre. Best wishes to all - bye for now -
Rod
