  Yesterday was a mad shift….a real busy one In this time of covid it proved difficult to get a priest into the hospice at short notice to give solice to a new patient . I was incredibly busy and asked a junior support worker to see if she could sort out the request. She did wonders and a very elderly and gentle faced nun arrived breatessly within minutes, just when she was needed And I was humbled beyond words , helping this dear old lady into PPE gloves and apron before she went to work, her bible and holy water in hand from Going Gently https://ift.tt/3AoC8Nx

Weather-wise, today did not live up to expectations just north of Barnsley. I was there to bag some more squares for the Geograph project. Okay, it didn't rain but sunshine was in short supply as I tramped through Staincross and Mapplewell.  I headed down a very treacherous, muddy path to The River Dearne yet thankfully avoided falling on my arse (American: ass or butt) . Crossing the babbling Dearne, the mapped path heading south did not seem to exist so I had to improvise. There were some raggedy horses looking sorry for themselves. They are probably owned by travellers or gipsies who often claim that they love their animals. Lord knows how long those sad horses have been surviving by the river without proper husbandry or stabling. Clint and I suffered traffic issues both on our way to the location and on the way back. We found ourselves stuck on the M1 motorway for a full hour in the morning and meeting Friday rush hour traffic both in Barnsley and Sheffield on the way back...
