Monday 12 September

What a windy day today! Most inconvenient for wearers of hats as I found out on the way in to the Centre today! I did something I haven't done for quite some time today - I covered an extra session as a No. 2 Operator. I sat in covering for Carolyn who is off on her holidays in warmer climes on the session immediately before my usual Monday dive. I sat with Arthur which was nice because I originally started as a volunteer at the Centre as his No. 2... so it was a bit like a flashback to 3 years ago!! We had a good chat whilst running the session.

Both sessions went very well. I was assisted by Ian as my No. 2 on the second dive, who is also great to chat with. Tomorrow I will go in also for two sessions, as there is a new starter beginning her initial 15 sessions. It is always nice to meet someone new and see how they get on with the Oxygen Treatment. Always we hope it will be of benefit to them. Nicki also took a long-ish phone call from someone asking about having O2 treatment with us at the Centre, and I couldn't help overhear that we have a 3 month waiting list... This is good news (well, not if you're on the waiting list I suppose!) as it shows people are finding out / hearing about us and our services!

The building work upstairs is now almost all finished, and so it should be a lot quieter at the Centre again from now on... The mental health charity 'Headway' will shortly be moving in upstairs and renting an office from HMSTC so that is good news. They will have to find somewhere to put their sign up outside the building - a simple enough thing in theory, however we have the Heritage Foundation in Letchworth who can potentially be very picky and stubborn about such things if they do not conform precisely to their criteria! :)

On that exciting note I shall bid you... bye for now! Back soon -
