Here's just a couple of examples where NHS Charities Together's Covid-19 Urgent Appeal has stepped in to help: a scheme for staff to use walkie talkies for safer communications at York Teaching Hospitals Trust. More details here https://www.nhscharitiestogether.co.uk/walkie-talkies-funded-by-our-covid-19-urgent-appeal-help-nhs-staff-overcome-new-communication-challenges/ and wellbeing pods where tired doctors and nurses can take a power nap during long shifts.
Keep your donations to our fund-raising competition rolling in, please, folks!

Thanks, fellas. In poetry as in life, Po, I try to deal with the important issues. MC, the wheelbarrow is useful for when my plums weigh heavy.

I like the short rhythmic nature of this blog and its message.
Unintentional? Not so sure about that myself. Why so slow in
protecting the truly vulnerable while keeping a watching brief on the
wider population and work places in general, instead of "the rush in
reverse" that we have witnessed? More like a rehearsal for future
global action to suit political purposes perhaps?

Entertaining, with a moral we should pay heed to - especially the
final line. Good one! I was comforted by news that bird song was
a noticeable audible feature of this lock down process. That, plus
less polluted air and fewer vapour trails in the sky, makes me feel
better already!

That's about the long and short of it, I guess.
You'd have to be the Artful Dodger
To avoid an accident to your todger.
Just try to keep to the straight and narrow
And make good use of your wheelbarrow! ?

Thanks Philipos- that was quick work! Only seen 3 in a long life, although I never went looking for them. Apparently the young have a very high mortality rate, as they aren't really swimmers, just in and out so to speak.

For me exercising is my way of life,
Avoiding trauma stress and strife
.
I cycle or walk every single day,
Exercising regularly definitely does pay.
Constantly meeting people of the same mind,
Exchanging words both interesting and kind.
It is so wonderful to breathe in the fresh air,
Nature is out there for us all to share

Good moral here. Focussing the mind to focus on the body can
focus on improving the health of both. Are you focused? ?

Hannah and Ruth, Thank you for your comments. I appreciate what you have to say. Ruth my favourite flower is the foxglove. I much prefer a rustic garden to those neatly laid out which are so commonplace in town and city centres.
