Something to smile about 😊🐨

Okay, I have 3 back to back, long days from tomorrow. So far I am the only qualified nurse tomorrow due to various self isolation and at risk health conditions, but I'm sure help will arrive from somewhere. 😷

I ran yesterday AND a shorter one today, because, who knows what this evenings briefing will bring.

But, and this is important. These beauties arrived today, after a nearly 4 week wait., some of the cost goes to help the koalas.

Stay safe and well everyone 😘

Thank you 😊, after this many years of being a ward manager I am confident enough to just knuckle down and say sod any audits. The NHS loves an audit.

We will get through this if we all pull together.

Thanks for everything that you all do for us. ❀️

They are cool looking leggings,.. 😎

Take care of yourself.

Thanks Jiveblue. I was laughing with a patient last week, she said she expected it to be doom and gloom. When did that ever make anyone feel better?🀩

Planned next run Friday, in the koalas!. Honestly, regarding work, all we can do is our best.

We appreciate the support. Oh, and my dry March flew out of the window 🍷

Ooooh. Koalas. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ’•πŸŽ‰ So gorgeous. What a shame you can’t wear them at work. That would perk up the patients! 🀣 But then, there have to be things that don’t get invaded by work, so I suppose that’s best. Take care and enjoy your runs! And thanks for all those shifts. πŸ’•β­οΈπŸ’•

Jell6 profile image
Jell6Graduate in reply to Granspeed

Wearing them to work, how comfortable would that be🀩

Granspeed profile image
GranspeedGraduate in reply to Jell6

Maybe you could market them as protective gear? They protect everyone’s mental health when you wear them? πŸ˜„ Brighten up those long shifts! πŸ’•

Men aren’t allowed to swit-swoo anymore, it’s against the rules, but if I could, my God I would!

Look after yourself Jell, that’s imperative. Those trousers are nothing without you.

🀣, swit-swoo away, and thank you. Hope you all keep well πŸ€—

mad respect Jell for all you're doing - I don't live in the UK, but my family does and it's people like you that got my dad through cancer and help him manage his diabetes....

and now, most importantly - those koalas are so damn cute !!!

Jell6Graduate in reply to backintime

There has been an outpouring of support, which has surprised a lot of us. Greggs bakery sent every ward sandwiches and cakes today, and Costa is providing free coffee to anyone who can get to the concession, which we couldn't, but a lovely gesture πŸ™‚
