Challenging Conversations

I was on two days training at St.Christopher's Hospice
on 'Challenging Conversations in End of Life Care'
It was an excellent training. I am feeling quite overloaded now
and will have an early night as I have a light headache.
I was the only social worker among nurses and a doctor
but there was nice mixture of comments and views.

It is certainly is a very difficult area for professionals to discuss 
and it is whether we as professionals are able to contain the context. 
Furthermore, it is also about picking up the cues when 
people use symbolic terms and languages
when the 'D' word is so avoided in the Western world and
other parts of the world.

I will add more tomorrow!

London's take on Royal Wedding

Enjoy the decoration of London for the wedding. 
I am not keen on the Royal wedding but
I wanted to leave some momories of the day. 
I am more interested in the by-product of the event.
These photos are taken yesterday, just before the wedding. 
Never seen these many Union Jack in one day in my life! 
Yes, we get an extra bank holiday but loss on the economy 
and extra cost on tax payers. 
I don't want to sound bitter but these are facts. 
Wish the two a happy life!
