back home now, wet but it is home. Stephen Fry is in US ice fishing in Minnesota with his travel show. I watched a movie from 1952,’She Wants Mink’, so funny! she was actually in a dream scene on a large hamster wheel walking it round and round with all her problems printed on signs on the wheel, and her husband quit his job and she started to raise minks in her back yard..they got evicted, what a hoot. Just google the title or watch it.
One woman at church said her dad had a stroke and if so, Brighton people are sent to hospital at Haywards Heath (one of the train stops I noticed) and some of the nurses there didn’t talk English or talk with the patients. When Russ put in ad in a magazine before I got here for private nurses, I got between 25-35 calls. I could have worked had I had the paperwork done. One person asked if I would put a teapot on for her mum because the agency nurses wouldn’t do it. Some of those jobs sounded wonderful. At once place I would have my own home, or lodge to stay in. Some of those families were going to give me each weekend off, and I could sleep at night. Some of the offers were very rough round the clock work, plus cooking. I don’t think 3 people could do that job required of one person. Life goes on. It is a big world out here. I left Chicago with a small trailer years ago. I can’t bring a trailer here, but I can have a full life. keep in touch.
