We have now reached the penultimate day and the lady who was absent yesterday is back and from speaking to her, i found out that she had an outpatient visit at the hospital. As for, George, the guy whom i have been helping with his spelling, is still coming back to me to work out the spelling of words. He is s beginning to see the light when i explain it to him to vocalize the word out slowly to work out its spelling ,such as, for example, consternation, i would say to him to split it into constituent parts, "con - ster - nation".
He keeps saying he is thick, but then i reassure him that in his previous jobs, and learning that he left school at 15 without much formal education, as a labourer and service vehicle driver , spelling and writing in a grammatical sense would not have high on his list of priorities, and said that even i sometimes get words wrong.
So, apart from helping the geezer out, we discussed and explored ways of overcoming our weaknesses and turning them into strengths, negatives into positives, and overcoming the fear of speaking in public or to a select group, such as being interviewed by a panel for a post,or an application for a product idea, and so on.
For lunch i went to the local Spoons branch and had a pint of
Cigar City Siren's Song Session IPA , from Florida, USA
(5.0 % ABV).During my break i bought three books for a total of a quid and one CD for 28 pence from the Demelza charity shop.
We finished at 4 pm today, and this time i did not bother going to Faversham, as that town will keep till Saturday now.
