Another Top Tip
A new resident, Bernie, offered this wisdom last Friday for a Top Tip:
Here on the PICU they have a smoking rule; you can only smoke for 10 minutes in the hour, so smoking is allowed between 5 to and 5 past the hour. Its seems hard, but it does mean that I've smoked a lot less and thats benefitting me. I'd like to give up at some point. But it does mean I'm always clock watching, waiting for the time for a cigarette!
Barry from The Touchstones group also suggests the following Top Tip:
Keep focussed on moving on....

update
Hi everyone
just to keep you all posted on progress of the arts projects for PICU
we held 2 short sessions at the picu on Friday,
one for residents and one for Touchstones, to get the fanzine underway.
as the cohort of residents have just changed over, we just had a very brief contribution from one of the new residents - another tip actually. I'll get the images up here asap!!
The Touchstones group, with three attendees made some good progress chopping up images and beginning to compose pages with me and Bryony.
we'll be having another , longer session in the next three weeks depending when it seems there will be some more settled residents.
Meanwhile I 've been working on the text for the plaques for the three installations - you can see these on the blog - see below
Bryony is getting started on bird feeding with simple feeders made from pine cones / fat and seed.
The PICU now have the template for the decorated cards which will go on the selecter unit of the jukebox, so people can begin to think about their track and how they will represent it.
She is also looking to nab a notice board where all the drawings and info about birds can be posted. - Perhaps we could supply a new notice board for these - if you want me to I could get one?
We await progress on the modification of the lock mechanism on the jukebox before we can go ahead with risk asessment and begin installation.
Awaiting also news about the cameras - so we can finish the designs for the bird feeders and pass these to the woodwork department.
All for now
