Schools out for summer!

The last few days we have a spot of sunshine, so we decided to make the  most of it while it lasted and went hiking, ghyll scrambling and we rode on the steamer. One of the hikes we went on leads up to a waterfall. Its really treacherous in parts because you have to get on hands and feet to scramble up in parts. The pathway is very narrow, slippery as its covered in a slimey substance and there is a sheer drop to the bottom. We have worked up to this for a year, teaching the boys the buddy system and following instructions by learning on smaller hikes until we felt ready. This said on the way back down, it seems not everybody is as inhibited about safety. We passed a woman on the way down heading up with a four by four buggy with a tiny baby inside!!! I said to her, it gets steeper the further up you go and its quite slippery and narrow for a buggy, plus youll have to climb a bit further up. She pretty much snorted in my face and carried on. Well! thats fine then, off you go you mad thing! I have also been spending some of my time reading up on ECG's after some advice from a nice nurse I spoke to. Ive looked into performing them and its actually not as complicated and scarey as it looks! Hopefully now I have an idea, Ill pick it up fairly quickly without too much bother. Ive also been reading up on blood gas ranges and the effects of having results out of the normal ranges. This meant reading on complications such as acidosis and alkalosis. I really cant say how much went in my head, and there did come a point where I had to walk away before my brain exploded. I am going to go back to it during the week and continue trying to learn. Learn being the operative word with my three running round the house. At the moment I feel a bit like I am living 24/7 in the mad hatters tea party scene from Alice in Wonderland. Not long now till the monsters are back to school and Ill have two and a half weeks, six hours a day five days a week in which to get some proper work done!
