Red Cross today, what an exhausting day!! Left the house at 9am and didn’t get back home until 8:30pm, am ready for bed.

Last night I couldn’t sleep because I saw a flipping HUGE spider in my bedroom. Was on the phone to Callum and I screamed, Callum said:
“throw a book at it!”
“I can’t go near it!”

So then I woke up my dad, who came to the rescue and removed it. PHEWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg. EEEEEkkk!! Just thinking of it makes me cringe. So anyway I finally got to sleep and I dreamt of a spider with thick black and white legs with a red body.

Anywayzzzzz… Red Cross. Tiring. Met Hayley for the first time ever! She’s been on maternity leave… Hayley said “I dealt with your Red Cross application, I know all your details and everything about you, but I’ve never met you before”. Anyway, tiring day. Biggest ‘casualty’ was someone who was erm… slightly intoxicated.

Got a call over the radio from the course medics asking for our assistance to help with someone who was “flat out drunk” at the bar, we went to see and she was on the floor, barely responsive and vomiting everywhere. Lovely. We got her into the back of the ambulance and kept an eye on her while her friends were laughing and joking at the fact that their friend couldn’t even open her eyes as she was so drunk and the only ‘communication’ she managed to get out of the retching noise as she was being sick. Our casualty had only just had a baby, too. And when I say only just, I mean, only a week ago. Anyway the ambulance crew took over while we went back out onto the fences.

A few jockeys fell off horses - none badly injured. One horse put down - he ran directly into the fence. Result wasn’t too pretty.

Long day. Came home, took off boots and chillaxed by watching Casualty. Gawd, it’s all medical stuff, isn’t it?
