Today: Another beautiful sunny day. A delivery day I will remember, delivering in Plantsmans close I turn the corner to find the lady who lives at 31 has taken a fall. A neighbour is there having just set out to work. She calls 999 and we try to comfort the lady, who is 83 and has taken a nasty bash to the head. Mercifully the ambulance arrive within 10 mins, I remember the five hours Roger, who slipped on the ice last December and bashed his head had to wait. I am deeply grateful she didn’t have to wait as long. I marvel at the skill and professionalism of the ambulance staff as they transfer her onto a board and into the ambulance.

I wish her a good recovery.

How the extraordinary and traumatic lurks within the everyday.
