We have just had a heavy downpour and now the sun is coming out. The rain was so heavy that one of our drainpipes looked blocked. It wasn't and I got a bit wet removing the pipe from the wall.

Turned into a frustrating afternoon trying to work out what was wrong with a USB port on my laptop. Kept on getting Device Not Recognised despite them working okay in the other port. Followed a couple of YouTube videos and the laptop makers own suggestions to no avail. Then a while later tried the audio converter and that worked.

I was lying peacefully in hospital bed. Two nurses with a trolley appear which is always bad news.
“ hello I am Sharon and this is Debbie. She is a student nurse and has never given an injection to a real patient before. Can she do yours?”

They use to practice on oranges at uni, as Mrs 73 says it's nothing like a person. They use training arms now with pretty effective artificial skin.
Going back to Mrs 73 they had a full adult mannequin which was a male but the bottom 1/2 was female. This was pre skills labs and computerised mannequins that can talk and be made to be a bit unwell one minute than go into full arrest the next. They are very life like and make you work as if for real.

What with that and Covid jabs, my needle phobia took a bit of a battering.
