placement.2

i started my second placement on monday. so far, 4 shifts in, and i'm really enjoying it. distinct to anywhere i've worked before, with a very different approach to nursing. i feel like there's so much to learn and only 8weeks to try and cram as much into my brain as possible.

the only downside is the early starts and the shock of going back to work after a few months of being a student. my commute is slightly longer, which has meant a lot less running but the sunrises are getting more and more worth the 5am starts.

by tomorrow afternoon i'll have cycled 150miles, for a job where i don't get paid! did i mention the sunrises?

Awesome sunrises. Really worth getting up for - just a pity about the work, I guess. ;~)

Didgeridoo fires up and starts droning in a melodic yet slightly sinister way.

Then Rolf starts singing:-
'Sun a rise, not quite so early in the morning'

Glad your placement is going well.
Nice pics too.

simon- i don't mind the rain, it's the wind that makes it miserable!

Wow! I guess if you have to be up at the arse crack of dawn that is something wonderful to see.
Glad you are liking the placement, sorry it doesn't leave all that much time for running though.
