Today, on National Nurse's Day, I am remembering all the nurses that have been good to me. They do such a great service to people. And on this day, I remember my Mom, who was a nurse.
God bless all you nurses today.

Today, 12th May 2012, is the bicentenary of Edward Lear. The Ship of Fools ought to remember him, as I'm sure he would have approved of the site and we have, from time to time, a limerick thread, which was one of his favourite forms.

Goodness, where are my manners? Thank you for the birthday greeting! Birthday came and went with no obvious signs of damage. I am, however, officially an Old Broad now.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
