Eternal Refuge

.... Yes I was technically supervising Maya, but spent much of the morning in an adjoining room.  Just keeping tabs on her, with an occasional reminder from toime to time.  She did OK ... However I do have to point out that I don't think I have ever been in such a quiet clinic, and there were no related patients, as there often are ... so we shall see.  I have one more week of double clinics with her (so 2 clinics) and then she is by herself, and I lose the shifts.

I have pottered off to the shop this afternoon as I was low on fruit and milk ... I can cope with what I have in the fridge & the cupboard ... except for one thing, I am truly addicted to tea, and it has to have milk.  So I don't panic if I am missing other things, after all there is always another type of food available, but tea-bags and milk are complete essentials!

Now I want to spend some time on icon making ... I seem to have fallen behind over this last week.  But, before I go -


20. What do a lot of people have very strong opinions about, even though they know very little about it?
Politics ... which is why I don't get involved in debates like that


See you tomorrow x

Today is the 94th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ... I am proud to be a Royalist, she is an amazing lady
This photo, courtesy of the BBC was taken last month when she spoke to the nation, and reminded us that "We'll meet again"

( And here are a couple of photos I took last November when I was at The Cenotaph )


I said there were 2 things to celebrate ... well, the second is that it is National Tea Drinking Day ... and anyone who knows me knows that I am not human if I haven't stared the day with a pot of tea ... here I have just re-filled the mug for the third time




So I hope everyone else finds at least 2 things to celebrate today

Just got in after working a "late" ... and arrived at the right time. Dad was making evening drinks. So I had a tea, he had a cocoa and Mum had a coffee ... and Jiffy had a cocoa, as well!!

Yay - Day 5 is over .... I now have to wait till next week to know whether I have passed.

It is hot working in a hospital .... and although I drink lots, when I got in about an hour ago, my Daddy saved my life - he made me a mug of tea!

You know I love icons - I've said it over the years on LJ - I love the personalisation that LJ has, and it's great to be able to have icons that suit what I'm talking about ... or just to make a boring post look pretty!

The icon meme is always going round, so it's good to get different people to ask me to explain different images.  This latest set was chosen by jaded_jamie and include a good range .... but glad to say, James still sneaks in!

If you want me to pick some for you to talk about - you only have to ask!

I've said it before ... I'll say it again.  I do love icons - one other plus of LJ.  It's great to have a picture to go with what I'm scribbling about ... whether as a post, or to reply to my friends.

So, yes, I bought some more space and am slowly filling it up - although I still ahve gaps to go.  It's also great to now keep my Christmas and Easter ones there all the time, without having to lose others to upload them.

Last week I opted to play this meme again - and asked jaded_jamie  to choose 6 icons for me to talk about.  He chose -

      

       


( So, if you want to know the answers ... peep here ...  )

So - if you would like me to chose some of your icons to talk about ... or, if there is another of my icons that you want explained, just make a note in the comments.

Mum and I went to the shops this afternoon, and when we got back, we had a cuppa in the garden.

... For everything!

Sometimes, there is only one answer!!

I have just got to Mum and Dad's - and after saying hello, the kettle was on, and tea was made.



Life's OK now!
