Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley at The Concorde Club Eastleigh

Another night of fabulous music last night, this time we enjoyed some vintage blues, courtesy of Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley from across the Pond.

I really enjoyed this one, what a wonderful night of blues music it was .. lovely band too, and such nice folk!  Lovely to hear some blues, such a shame the jazz club was so quiet ... don't understand it really, but they missed a great night of music.

 Here are some of my photos I took last night:

Happy Times at The Hospital

I had to laugh at this photograph I found today.  I was telling my daughter Sophie about this incident the other day and was pleased to find photographic evidence!

I worked at Southampton General Hospital from the mid 1980s and had very happy times there.  I worked for one of the Rheumatology Consultants.  Opposite my office was the Physiotherapy Gym, and in those days life was a lot more straight forward and we had opportunities to have a bit of fun at times (something you just wouldn't get away with any more sadly!).

In the Gym there was a skeleton model and we used to take him out in one of the Rehab wheelchairs for outings on a  regular basis.  He doesn't look very well does he?

In this photo, the skeleton, whose name I have long forgotten, was being wheeled about by Mollie and Rosemary the physic porters, and Sue who was another Rheumatology Secretary.  The patients always looked very bemused.

A few years after that I do remember being tied up with bandages and put in the wheelchair outside the Rehab entrance on my hospital hen do.  I wonder if those photos are still around?!
