Go Like The Clappers

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception - Groucho Marx

It's the First of March...

Now to enjoy some Friday Feeling 🎈

No work for me today...

(Except a 7 hour First Aid course to attend) 

Early cup of tea...

  As someone's snoring woke me up.

I went back to bed at 5pm for an hour before the alarm went off...

 I had a packed lunch for later.

I kissed 💋💋💋 everyone when I left.

 

 I get to where I got to go in under 20 minutes.

Park in the long stay car park for £4.

Once Waitrose was open, I got my newspaper.

 

 The place wasn't open,

So I walked to Morrisons.

Came back to the place.

The Teacher opened the door for me.

There were five of us by 9am.

The teacher had wanted to cancel the course as his wife is suffering from a whiplash injury. As he had moved house, he hadn't brought half an his First Aid equipment.

Three others joined at 9.20am.

One of the earlier women who was sitting opposite me, started moaning saying the Teacher talked too much, and hoping he wasn't going repeat to the new people that joined us the same thing he told us earlier.

🎈Unlucky for her, he did.🎈

She kept moaning she was on her day off, and she was leaving in 2 hours.

He then piped up, saying we were going to skip lunch and was going to go a lot quicker doing the First Aid Course.

In fact he crammed the 7 hours course into 2 hours 15 minutes!

He didn't bring some defibs to practice on. He poopooed the idea of raising the victim's legs instead of giving the victim the kiss of life. I did have someone else to back me up.He wouldn't listen to me.

(I already have had defib training from Maggie and Rob who run a charity CCSHF and they told me to raise the legs)

I was out of the building by 1.10pm!!!

Back to my car to eat my lunch and catch up on the Birthdays.
