DVT DAY 113
So this is it, its conference week on the net. After getting up I have a quick breakfast and log on to the conference. A screen full of familar faces of people that I had the pleasure of working with over the years and some new faces who work in the therapeutic communities. The first part of the day was an open session and an introducttion to the conference programme and a recap of the year to date. A brief break and we are back for an interview with one of the originators of the Community of Commnities. All very interesting until the end when he puts up photographs of people who were at the first C of C annual forum 18 years ago. One of them was of me and a colleague at that time, no beard, thats me not the colleague. Bit of a shock seeing myself as I was 18 years ago. Another break during which my new Underwood T shirt arrives. I had it made after seeing the testamony of his sister to the senate comittee following the death of George Floyd.
Below is one of the newscasts that show the testomony that caughth my mind.
Back in the conference space we sit together again and go over issues of old. By 3 o’clock we come to an end and I quickly change and get myself to the shed where the bike awaits me. An hour later I am sweaty and tired with a to do list of domestic chores to do.
Chores done I sit and check my emails and begin the blog till dinner is ready. Dinner done I continue the blog and will post it before I have an evening of warm baths and thinking about tomorrows conference as I am chairing two of the session. Seemed like a good idea when I offered, now I am not sure, hey ho!
