Something utterly lovely has just happened as I was making my way back to the ship. An older Sicilian man lives near the bridge I had to cross. Whenever he hears an English woman’s voice, he comes out on the balcony and checks to see if we have time to stop 1/
“Of course”, I said. He disappeared in to his flat and reappeared with a basket on a rope and lowered it down. Inside was a bottle of red wine and a fridge magnet #GrazieMille #BuonaNotte 2/
Apparently, when he was in England after WWII, a woman whom he didn’t know shared her wine with him and he now repays the favour whenever he hears an Englishwoman #LifeInABlueSuit #TheKindnessOfStrangers 3/3

Does anyone know which #SNOD came up with this? @NHSOrganDonor

‘Twas the night before Christmas; all through ICU
Not a patient was stirring, not even bed 2.
The propofol hung on the dripstand with care
With hopes that the day-shift soon would be there 1/
When outside the door there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the desk to see what was the matter.
I found my trainee with a porter and nurse
And moribund patient; I've rarely seen worse 2/
"He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
Near a sleigh full of toys he was limp on the ground
With eight distraught reindeer just wand'ring around." 3/
