Learn, move!<\/h2>\n

My favourite quote from Lord of the Rings is \u201cThere may be a day when the hearts of men and\u00a0women may fail \u2026 but today is not that day \u2026 for today we fight!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We are currently buffeted by winds and challenges, facing an unknown flu\/COVID peak, pulled in all sorts of directions \u2026 it can seem overwhelming, but hold onto hope and make moves to do something which creates progress. \u201cIf you are walking through the valley of death \u2026 do not stop!\u201d<\/em> Keep moving, work out how to get out of the situation.<\/p>\n

Tier 3 COVID Response<\/h2>\n

Another surge, another set of challenges. We know what we are doing, we have got this. Let\u2019s keep learning, adjusting and have some fun as we progress through this version of Tier 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks for wearing N95 masks, don\u2019t forget the eyewear as the BA5 version is spreading very fast and\u00a0does infect through your eyes (conjunctiva).<\/p>\n

This is what you are creating \u2026<\/h2>\n

\u201cI will never forget the one nurse, whose name I don\u2019t know, she was the most caring understanding lady, she gave me numbing cream as I have a fear of needles and she was stroking and calming me just before surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was petrified of the surgery, the care I received from everyone being very understanding of this and not making me feel bad about it was amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody made me feel extremely comfortable and was very patient with my scared self.\u201d<\/p>\n

You are making a difference in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Stay calm, slow COVID \u2026 and make changes to get to a better place.<\/p>\n
