I had expressed a willingness to do a bit more at the hospital and Chaplain Bill asked last week if I would come in on Wednesdays, as well as Fridays, so I did that this morning. Someone else was there as well so I just went round one floor.
After lunch there was a little event at the Senior Centre. Two staff members who run the volunteer programmes there, had all their funding cut, but they sort of re-branded themselves and managed to get some funding from elsewhere, so hopefully can carry on for a while longer. Today was their re-launch.
Phyllis was there, and we were joined by Douglas, a Glaswegian, who is quite well known round Shawnee. We were talking about all the things we miss - pork pies, sausage rolls, and in Phyllis' case Liquorice Allsorts and Twiglets. Phyllis and I were also reminiscing about growing up in an air raid shelter, mine was at the bottom of my grandma's garden, but in the East End they went down into the Underground. And we both had Mickey Mouse gas masks. She said to this day she can't really stand having a mask over her mouth.
This evening I went to the movies to see 'God's not Dead'. I hadn't thought of seeing it, I didn't know anything about it, but Rosalyn and Bruce had seen it and aroused my interest. I thought it was going to be about the Religious Right, but if it was, it wasn't my understanding of it. It came across to me simply as a faith based film and I loved it. I wished I'd asked Pattisue to come, she would have liked it too.
So that has been my day............
