welcome!

new email address for anyone that has been trying to contact me through the NTLworld one - it seems to have crashed or something - anyway my new email is starfishbm@yahoo.com so the same first bit (wow i am so inventive) and just a change of the last part.

coming home soon so this blog will be ending its life soon, but am planning to write a more extensive (yes you heard me right MORE estensive) account when i get back.

oh and a request for when i get back - im not expecting everyone to start calling me Bee
as i am here but you can at least shorten it to Bron! Thanks xx

less than a month to go.. what more dangerous / exciting antiques can i get up to? we'll just wait and see!

post walk

have looked on my list of posts and this is my 70th! wow that show i've been here a while now!
now that the walk is over, sad to say that i did not actually take part due to the fact that i was taking over the duties of my friend who was sick in terms of hospitality AND that on the way to the walk i fell over a pile of rocks (it was dark at 5.30am so i didn't see them on the road) and really messed up my big toe. the walk went well but my head was not really there due to tiredness and worry about my friend who was in hospital. at 10 i skived out to go and see her for a while.
over 2000 people came, the mayor spoke, we had the national youth band lead the way. the problems came on the organizational side: catering for all those people with snacks and drinks, and getting certificates prepared. a mission.
now a week on i am still working at distributing the certificates - there are 96 schools remember, and getting up to date information and contact details to make next years job easier (pity i won't be here to enjoy the ease of task though!) so am collecting together all the messy scraps of paper we have and creating a very nice excel document. doesn't sound that fun but it will be useful for not only the walk but all the other work with schools that red cross normally does during peacetime (to be honest i'm unsure why it hasn't been done before) such as visits, setting up red cross clubs, first aid training...
then this weekend i'm going on a first aid training myself here at branch. it's for three days and i'll get a certificate at the end. seems somehow to put all my work in the hospital to shame, as i obviously know first aid pretty well by now after working in that terrible place, but it's good to have a certificate and the formal training.
have done other things this week such as helping Winnie to set up a bank account, looked into getting a counselor for my friend, get a new camera so i can take all the snaps i need before i go, sort out what i am going to give away, undergo proper dissemination on the red cross, but nothing life threatening enough to go into detail on.
thank you for all of your support, it means so much, especially when times are hard, to know that there are people behind me flowingly my progress back home,
so till i see you, do email if you have the time.

I seldom write comments, but I looked at a few of the comments
on this page "post walk". I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you tend
not to mind. Could it be just me or do a few of the comments look like
they are written by brain dead people? :-P And,
if you are posting on other online sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you post a list of every one of your social networking pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave
it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her
ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell
someone!
