It has to be fun…

I’ve just been to a careers seminar about law. Nope, not a change for me – I suspect I’d look a bit conspicuous in the line-up for pupillage. I was there because one of my offspring is considering law, they are sadly not keen on following Dad into medicine. One speaker at the seminar stoodContinue reading “It has to be fun…”

The need to talk about it popped in my head after a few conversations with colleagues and friends about the vaccine. I was surprised it was controversial,Continue reading “Let’s Vaccinate like its 2021”
