This week, I’ve been loving…
Unexpected thoughtful post
I really do have some very
special friends. This week I was greeted by an Amazon parcel one morning, which
puzzled me a bit as I was sure I hadn’t been ordering anything! I opened it to
reveal a gift-wrapped DVD set from a friend, with a little message simply
saying she had sent it to cheer me up. How lovely :)
Bedlam
I’m always interested in
watching documentaries on health and medical issues, so when I saw adverts for
this Channel 4 series of programmes on the oldest psychiatric institution (now
South London and Maudsley Trust) I set my TV to record it. There have been 2
episodes so far – the first exploring anxiety and the second looking into the
world of a psychiatric crisis. I’ve been really impressed with the coverage and
I’m hoping it will open people’s minds more to the reality of psychiatric
illnesses, and help people to see that it’s not an issue that we should be
scared of.
If you’re interested to
find out more about the series, take a look at the Channel 4 website
Fireworks
I’m not quite sure how we
got round to Bonfire Night again so quickly, but this week many people
celebrated with fireworks and sparklers. My Dad very kindly drove my Mum and I
down to our local display, and wrapped up in our hats and gloves, we stood
right at the front to watch a beautiful display, before huddling round the
bonfire for a little while.
What has grabbed your attention this week? I love
hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing something
that makes it onto my list next week!
