Nancy Sinatra

Meca posted this on Facebook and it´s too good not to share in my blog - Nancy you rock in this video!

Hospitals, needles and good food!

I just spent the whole morning, plus an hour of the afternoon at the Mile End hospital, undertaking several exams and procedures... Nothing serious, just normal check ups, but there are two things I need to share:

- Wonderful food at the Mile End hospital cafeteria and very cheap - I strongly advise if you are in the area!

- Why are people so thankfull to the nurses that take our blood, I saw at least three people coming out of the Blood Room with smiles and saying "Thank You very much"... not that they (the nurses) are not nice, but they are the ones that took almost a litre of my blood - they should be thanking me!!!

Quote of the week...


“It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”
Nelson Mandela
