Care Home: spoke with Manager again, not sure they have anyone, said they would ring me this afternoon. Didn't call.
Shop directly opposite Riverside: no go
Charring Cross Hospital: no go
Wetherspoons: very long and very interesting conversation with Alan who came to the UK from Barbados in 1962, was working as a Policeman in Barbados as a young man, when he saw an advert to come to the UK and work on the busses: the rest, as they say, is history. Had LOTS of very interesting stores and views on immigration and 'intellectual pigmies' otherwise know as politicians, with no accountability. Not able to do the weekend as he is going to Skegness: may see him again tomorrow. Maybe for Monday?
Hammersmith Club: met with lots of people and did a bit of line dancing: met the remarkable Pamela. Pamela spoke of her troubled marriage, building a new life and the loss of her three children, two boys, and a girl. Has agreed to share her story on Saturday as she wanted to share her experience of how its possible to live on after such sadness. Has found love with Brian: said her children are at peace, and she line dances at the Hammersmith Club. Brian's son and partner recently had a baby, one of Pamela's joys!
Good to meet the team at Riverside and get the days updates
Exhausted!
Jeanette
