Diary Wednesday 7th June 2017 Another day of voluntary service at the University of Lancashire (UCLan). While yesterday involved being a medical student Guinea pig, today was about helping prepare events and promotions for the coming months, though in being away for much of the rest of June, I had little to really contribute this session. The most impressive contributions came from representatives from MIND, an organization campaigning and providing support for those suffering from mental health concerns. They are currently promoting the 5-fold path to mental well-being. The five ways are; 1/. Staying connected with family, and friends 2/. Be physically active 3/.Take notice of your surroundings and what is happening in your life now 4/.Keep learning, reading, studying, etc 5/. Offer others your time, advice, assistance and help. While I need to work more on the first two aspects of this, I’m doing OK on the remainder. Diary Thursday 8th June 2017 General election day in the UK so I planned on staying up very late watching the results coming in, hoping we will finally be rid of our current monstrous government regime. Having a postal vote I have already sent mine in. My doctor phoned and I learned that my blood tests are surprisingly clear, so no Diabetes or cholesterol problems. I just have my obesity and high blood pressure to address. Yay! I went to the job club to use their computers for job searching and did more laundry. The weather witched bizarrely from heatwave to stormy and back again across the day. Arthur Chappell
