Great to catch up with an old nursing buddy who now lives on the other side of the world in the city we first met.

Brushing symptoms aside as she trains for a triathlon, this nurse pulls out last minute feeling unwell. In hospital with sepsis things get worse when doctors discover a hole in her heart. She hates being a patient but is lucky to be alive. (Memoir)

Memoir - OUT OF THE BLUE πŸš‘
A frightening trip to A&E leads to a serious unrelated heart condition being discovered. Struggling to be on the patient side of the ward with two young boys at home, this nurse's life becomes one balancing fear, hope and love.

Not many can say sepsis saved their lives. If it wasn't for that bug bite landing her in the high dependency unit, this nurse could have dropped down dead at any moment. Now on the other side of the uniform with a hole in her heart it's time to survive.

Still processing the amazing week I had in Dumfries & Galloway at a writing retreat run by Marjorie Lotfi.

One of my favourite bits was the cosy evening readings by Marjorie & guest Elizabeth K Reeder

A husband, two teenage boys, two cats, one dog, some huge spiders from the fields and an occasional mouse live in this wee place.
Who do you think is my favourite housemate??? πŸ€”

🀩 What a great night at the Wardlaw Museum in St Andrews.
With poets full of passion and resistance.
Judging was very difficult but Tessa, President of Inklight, Laura, exhibition curator and myself selected two worthy winners.

CC & Fiona your words were inspiring. πŸ₯°
