You’ve seen the dance, now it’s time for the out takes.
I actually laughed out loud when I watched the unedited film. We were hilarious. I don’t think Diversity has anything to worry about. With all the worries about covid-19 we still need the silly things to make us laugh and get us through it. I think everyone enjoyed it. Well, what wasn’t there to enjoy…the sun was shining, we were at the top of Saddleworth Moor and the air was clear, the music was good and we all had a great laugh.
It is Good Friday today and we were working in Oldham. Our manager came out and brought us all an Easter Egg. Then I nipped into M&S on the way home and they had a free Percy Pig Easter egg for all NHS workers…two nice surprises today.
I was at home on Thursday and for the first time I could go onto my doorstep and join in the clapping. Such a simple thing, but means such a lot. I work for the NHS, but the people I see are healthy. There are nurses and doctors who are working with dreadfully sick people and I can’t imagine what they go through every day. I drove home today and as the sun was shining there were people everywhere. There were groups of young girls walking along without a care in the world. People are putting their life at risk to look after and treat ill people, the virus is killing without a care for rich or poor, young or old and most of us are trying to stay safe and do all the right things, but those that flout every rule just prolong the isolation and keep spreading the virus. It is frustrating, it is maddening, it is selfishly thoughtless and arrogant….it is deadly! Will it take a death for youths who still go out and meet friends to find out that they aren’t invincible. I clapped the NHS and I clapped all those who stay home and stay safe.
I do like seeing all the rainbows in windows. If we can look for positives in this difficult time it is how we have come together….from a distance….to support and look out for each other. Little things make a difference. We have been told that they…the elusive they…are going to decorate the reception area at Base with rainbows. Children of employees and staff can take in pictures. I decided to do one too…
I had to snaffle a flip chart from work as paper isn’t an essential item I can shop for. I stayed home all day on my day off and painted. I hope many more people stayed home too.
Stay safe everyone. Stay at home!!!
